Public input sought for road safety projects in Roanoke County, Botetourt County and the Town of Vinton
Roanoke, Virginia – Roanoke County, Botetourt County, and the Town of Vinton are working together to create a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan as part of the Federal Highway Administration’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. This initiative aims to prevent deaths and serious injuries on local roadways, ensuring the safety of all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, commercial vehicle operators, transit riders, and micromobility users.
As part of the plan’s development, the second round of community meetings will focus on proposed projects within each locality that are designed to reduce roadway fatalities and serious injuries. These meetings will be open house-style, allowing attendees to come and go at their convenience.
The schedule for the upcoming meetings is as follows:
- Botetourt County: Tuesday, September 3, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Cloverdale Elementary School, 833 Cougar Drive, Roanoke, VA 24019
- Botetourt County: Wednesday, September 4, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Colonial Elementary School, 142 Murray Drive, Troutville, VA 24175
