Twin Lake Drive/Kensington Bicycle and Pedestrian Connector
Twin Lake Drive/Kensington Bicycle and Pedestrian Connector
About the Project
The proposed Twin Lakes/Kensington Bicycle and Pedestrian Connector project would extend a paved shared use path, approximately 10 feet wide, along the north side of Lafayette Boulevard between Twin Lake Drive and St. Paul Street in the City of Fredericksburg.
The new section of path would connect with an existing shared use path on Lafayette Boulevard that currently terminates at St. Paul Street. The path would be handicapped-accessible, with ramps and crosswalks built where the path intersects with Twin Lakes Drive, Springwood Drive, Kensington Place, and St. Paul Street.
Additionally, the project would build a paved access point to the Virginia Central Railway Trail from the cul-de-sac of Springwood Drive. A bike repair station would be installed at Alum Spring Park.
The City of Fredericksburg submitted an application to fund this project through Virginia's SMART SCALE program. At the city's request, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) is administering the preliminary engineering, right of way acquisition and construction phases of this project. The project is receiving additional funding through the federal Congestion and Mitigation Air Quality Program (CMAQ).
