There’s a guy on a motorized scooter who I see on 250 many days of the week riding to and from Crozet, presumably to Charlottesville and back. You’ve likely seen him too.
Imagine a trail that allowed him and others to get to and from Charlottesville without having to
a) get in a car and/or
b) ride a scooter or bike on a trail not competing with cars — everyone wins.
“The FIRST PUBLIC MEETING for Three Notched Trail feedback is May 15th!
Your attendance is requested on Thursday, May 15th, at 6pm! Albemarle County and the Three Notched Trail (3NT) Master Planning team are hosting an Open House with a brief presentation starting at 6:15. There will be opportunities for feedback, including highlighting your preferred trail destinations on a map.
The event will be held at Crozet Elementary School from 6pm to 8pm. There will also be a Bike Month event that day in the same parking lot from 5:00 to 7:00pm. There you can experience test riding various E-bikes, comparing different models. Kids may bring their bikes for safety lessons and testing our their bike skills.
Motorized scooter (gasoline) or just eBikes?
The guy I am referring to is on a motorized Razor type scooter. Probably hitting 15-20 mph.
Well, that is real evidence that the current system is working. Take all that land and money for what? Destroy greenspace to create it?
With housing and homeless problems this should not even be considered. Who are we catering to? People move here, cannot figure out how to use a simple fork in the road and now we need to spend millions on a traffic circle? Housing is a number one problem in Albemarle. How does any of this benefit those that realize this? An idea: How about homeless encampments along this trail?
