Northtown Trail Project

This document identifies a conceptual bicycle and pedestrian trail that will extend from the Charlottesville Downtown Mall to Lewis and Clark Drive in northern Albemarle County. The Northtown Trail Project examines the bicycling goals for both the City of Charlottesville and Albemarle County and considers how a long distance trail could improve bicycle ridership in the City and County. The Northtown Trail Project also considers the existing bicycling facilities in the City of Charlottesville and the northern portion of Albemarle County and looks at how these facilities will connect with the conceptual trail. Finally this document considers the funding available for the conceptual trail. The conceptual trail is constructed from numerous planned transportation or development projects, most of which have an in
place funding source. This document will provide as much detail about this in
place funding as possible.
