The Cav Daily has a pretty good overview of some of the transportation projects under way, like the Meadowcreek Parkway, the trolley, plans for a central bus station, Park Street traffic calming, bike paths, etc. Though some of the facts are wrong (”the population of Charlottesville has grown by 20,000 people in the past 10 years,”) this does provide a thorough look at what’s being planned.
