The City of Harrisonburg is evaluating the transportation and stormwater needs along Chicago Avenue and Waterman Drive.
Harrisonburg Public Works will host an open house to get input from people who walk and bike along these corridors on Tuesday, Oct. 15, from 4 to 6 p.m. The open house will be held at the Price Rotary Senior Center at 309 S. Dogwood Dr.
The study will specifically look at Chicago Avenue between Rockingham Drive and Mount Clinton Pike and along Waterman Drive between West Market Street and Chicago Avenue.
Multiple alternatives and safety improvements are being evaluated to address needs for people walking and cycling. Drainage and flooding concerns along Waterman Drive are also being evaluated as part of this study.
“We know there are multiple ways in which the infrastructure on sections of Chicago Avenue and Waterman Drive could be improved,” said Harrisonburg Public Works Director Tom Hartman. “We look forward to hearing the thoughts of those who live or work in the neighborhood, and others who travel on these streets, regarding potential options for improvements.”
Attendees of the open house will have the opportunity to:
- View informational displays
- Speak directly with city staff about current corridor experiences
- Share thoughts about transportation and stormwater infrastructure options along the corridor
- Express thoughts and questions through a public questionnaire that will be available during and after the event
This project is currently in the study phase and funding has not yet been secured for this project.
