Accessible pedestrian signals - city of roanoke

This Formula Grant award from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) provides $250,902 to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to enhance pedestrian safety at signalized and unsignalized intersections throughout the City of Roanoke. The project includes preliminary engineering design for improvements such as high-visibility crosswalk pavement markings, accessible pedestrian actuated signals, and curb extensions to reduce crosswalk distance. The proposed safety upgrades were selected based on historical crash data to address pedestrian safety concerns across the city's transportation network. As the state DOT, VDOT has extensive experience delivering federal highway and transportation infrastructure grants to support construction, preservation, accessibility, and safety enhancements across Virginia's roads, bridges, and transportation systems.
