DESCRIPTION OF TRANSPORTATION PLAN<br />

The proposed transportation improvements this <strong>Plan</strong> <strong>of</strong>fers are derived out <strong>of</strong> this<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> existing conditions, from recommendations presented in the studies:<br />

“Bicycle <strong>Plan</strong> Implementation Strategies”, based on the County’s Comprehensive<br />

<strong>Plan</strong>, <strong>and</strong> “Goochl<strong>and</strong> County <strong>Courthouse</strong> <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> – Phase II”, prepared by<br />

the Richmond Regional PDC, <strong>and</strong> citizen feedback regarding these<br />

recommendations. Included in the Future Transportation Facilities map is a<br />

proposed exp<strong>and</strong>ed trails network throughout the <strong>Village</strong> as well as potential<br />

road connections.<br />

Trails System<br />

Shown in black <strong>and</strong> yellow is an interconnected system <strong>of</strong> trails to provide<br />

uninterrupted pedestrian <strong>and</strong> other non-vehicular access throughout the <strong>Village</strong>.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> this proposed network already exists as sidewalks along stretches <strong>of</strong><br />

Route 6/522 in the center <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Village</strong>. In addition to constructing sidewalks<br />

along main roads, this <strong>Plan</strong> calls <strong>for</strong> the building <strong>of</strong> asphalt or gravel bike trails,<br />

which would allow riders, walkers <strong>and</strong> joggers access along <strong>Courthouse</strong> Creek<br />

through existing <strong>and</strong> proposed parks.<br />
