The MPO adopted a final plan for the creation of a 14.1 mile long bike commuter trail spanning from northern Albemarle County to Charlottesville's downtown mall. The Northtown Trail will be built in phases over many years as new transportation infrastructure is constructed.

From Charlottesville Tomorrow:

"A good bit of this will be constructed with the Meadowcreek Parkway and the Belvedere development," said Albemarle Supervisor Dennis Rooker. "The real challenge is going to be getting across the [Rivanna] river."

That will depend on the building of a new bridge to allow for the extension of Berkmar Drive across the Rivanna River. Earlier this month, the Albemarle Board of Supervisors opted against further consideration of a comprehensive plan amendment to bring land north of the river into the development area. Developer Wendell Wood had offered to pay for a portion of the road and bridge's $25 million cost, but that plan is now in doubt without the expansion.

Also at Monday's meeting, the MPO endorsed an application for a VDOT transportation enhancement grant to help pay for a bike/pedestrian bridge to connect the eastern and western sides of McIntire Park. The project will cost about $400,000, according to city trails planner Chris Gensic.
