Willingness to Hold a Public Hearing

Elizabeth Campus Greenway

The City of Salem is proposing to construct a new 10’ wide multi-use greenway trail through the

Elizabeth Campus of Roanoke College. The proposed trail would begin at the brick pathway located at 324 Idaho Street, travel in a northerly direction along Idaho Street, radius around onto Lynchburg Turnpike and continue in an easterly direction to Kime Lane, where it would dead end into the YMCA.

This is part of the larger regional Roanoke River and Mason Creek Greenway Trail system. This project is

funded through the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) and being developed through the Locally Administered Projects (LAP) Program.

To view plans for the project, visit the web at https://www.salemva.gov/767/Projects or go by the City

of Salem’s Community Development Office, located at 21 S. Bruffey Street. Please call (540) 375-3032 or email Will Simpson (wsimpson@salemva.gov) or Josh Pratt (jpratt@salemva.gov) to schedule a time to

view the plans or if you have any additional questions.

If your questions or concerns cannot be addressed through discussions with staff, the City is willing to hold a public hearing. You can request that a public hearing be held by sending a written request to:

William L. Simpson, Jr., PE

City Engineer

P.O. Box 869
