Study Partners

  • Town of Richlands
  • Cumberland Plateau Planning District Commission
  • Four County Transit
  • VHB

Background

The purpose of this study is to identify project recommendations for Route 67, specifically at the Route 460 Exit 2 ramps, and along Front Street and 2nd Street (from Veterans Drive to the intersection of Front Street and 2nd Street) in the Town of Richlands. The Exit 2 ramps need safety improvements associated with vehicles turning on and off the ramps. Locations along Front Street and 2nd Street need safety improvements due to vehicle speeds, wide roadways, and pedestrian activity. 

This Phase 2 survey is intended to obtain public input on the alternatives under consideration to address the issues that were identified by the study team.
