Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Blacksburg, Virginia. Design plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; sidewalk / parking lot; and water / sewer project.

This project is intended to provide a sidewalk connection along the south side of Clay Street from Church Street to Jefferson Street (approximately 2,600 feet) with adjustments to Clay Street to facilitate bike mobility and improve storm drainage. The addition of sidewalk in this location would provide a connection between existing sections and complete the network along Clay Street. Curb, gutter and a drainage network would be added along the length of the project, as needed, and the roadway section would be widened, where applicable, to provide for appropriate on-road bike facilities. The addition of sidewalk and widening of the road will require storm water management considerations and special attention will need to be given to the management of runoff due to the sensitive nature of the existing water shed. Small adjustments to the current Clay Street alignment, both vertical and horizontal, would be made to improve areas of poor sight distance and excess grade change. Project is in the Town of Blacksburg capital budget FY2024-2029. As of June 20, 2025 this project has been put on indefinite hold. It is unclear when progress will resume. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
