Public Meeting: Liberty Street Protected Bike Lanes

*Hosted by the City of Harrisonburg

What’s happening

Harrisonburg has secured $14.3 million in federal grant (RAISE) funding to transform Liberty Street and connect more of Downtown with safe, people-first mobility. The project—known as the Downtown Harrisonburg Streetscape & Mobility
Transformation—will add a two-way protected cycle track, a 10-foot shared path linking Grattan St. to Martin Luther King Jr. Way and the Bluestone Trail, and major pedestrian safety upgrades (curb extensions, ADA-compliant ramps, enhanced crossings, signals, and accessible bus boarding).

It also includes (hopefully) green medians, intersection updates, driveway/access management for fewer conflict points, and utility upgrades—all building a safer, more welcoming Downtown.

This is the City’s Kickoff Open House for preliminary engineering. Designs will evolve with public input—this is your chance to shape them.
