VDOT will host a citizen information meeting at Monticello High School on Thursday from 5-7 p.m. to present proposed improvements along Route 742 (Avon Street) between Druid Avenue and Route 1101 (Avon Court) in the City of Charlottesville.

The project targets a 0.4-mile stretch of Avon Street and includes a pedestrian bridge over Moores Creek on the east side of Avon Street, connecting to the Rivanna Trail.

Three design alternatives will be available for public review:

  • Alternative A includes a shared-use path on the east side of Avon Street between Druid Avenue and Palatine Avenue. It also features a five-foot sidewalk on the west side and bicycle lanes on both sides of the street.
  • Alternative B proposes a shared-use path along the east side of Avon Street between Avon Court and Druid Avenue.
  • Alternative C is the no-build option, with no changes made to the existing infrastructure.
