The Regional Transportation Commission is inviting the community to provide input on the future of Virginia Street as part of the Virginia Street Bus RAPID Transit Extension Project.
Two meetings are being held for the public to review designs for Virginia Street. The designs show proposed changes for Virginia Street from Maple Street to 15th Street near the University of Nevada, Reno and from Liberty Street to Plumb Lane in Midtown.
The proposed changes include: wider sidewalks, new bike lanes and extending RAPID bus service north to UNR with new transit stations and intersection improvements. The project is also intended to better connect UNR to downtown Reno and downtown to points south, including Midtown.
The same information will be presented at both meetings. The public is welcome to attend one or both events. Free parking is available at both meetings.
