The Virginia Department of Transportation has awarded the city of Charlottesville a $328,280 Safe Routes to School project grant.
The money will be used to improve conditions for walking and bicycling to and from Burnley-Moran Elementary School. The school will build sidewalks and establish crosswalks in the Locust Grove neighborhood just north of U.S. 250. Also, improvements to ensure continued compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act will be made.
Last year, Venable Elementary School and Buford Middle School benefited from a $366,600 Safe Routes to School grant.
The VDOT Safe Routes to School program aims to improve the safety and health of children in the state by encouraging fitness while maintaining safe travel routes.
