North Main Street (Harrisonburg) Sidewalk Project Open House

The Harrisonburg Public Works department will host an open house-style public hearing on Wednesday, February 5, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Lucy F. Simms Continuing Education Center, 620 Simms Avenue, Harrisonburg.

The project will construct sidewalks on both sides of North Main Street from Charles Street to Vine Street to fill gaps between existing sidewalks. The road will be widened to create bike lanes between Holly Hill Drive and Vine Street. Pedestrian signals, ramps, and crosswalks will be installed at the intersection with Vine Street/Mt. Clinton Pike. The project is funded through the VDOT SMART SCALE program.

The project enhances safe pedestrian access through intersection improvements, connecting sidewalk with existing sidewalk infrastructure, and the addition of bicycle lanes. The project will create uninterrupted sidewalk from Harrisonburg’s north city limit to Downtown Harrisonburg.
The public is invited to learn, ask questions, and provide feedback on project plans during the open house and/or through a public questionnaire. It is important that all who utilize the corridor have an opportunity to participate.

Visual aids and staff will be present at the open house for information. Additional information about the proposed project is available at www.harrisonburgva.gov/transportation-projects.

A questionnaire will be available at the open house to collect public thoughts/questions and will be available digitally until March 5, 2025. Written or oral questions and comments may be submitted to Brittany Clem-Hott (mailto:)
