1990 Bikeway/Walkway Plan
Peppers Ferry Trail
PRIORITY: Medium
DESIGNATION: Trail
DESCRIPTION: Located parallel
to Peppers Ferry Road (Rte 114) beginning at intersection with Coal Hollow Road
(St Rte 705) and extending to proposed New River park at Montgomery County line.
FUNDING SOURCE: This route
would connect an established biking/walking route (Prices Fork Route and Prices
Fork/Peppers Ferry Connector) to New River park, qualifying it for State Recreational
Access Funds.
TRAFFIC COUNTS: 10,645 average
daily traffic (1988 figures).
JUSTIFICATION: This trail
would connect a proposed bike route (Prices Fork Route and Prices Fork/Peppers
Ferry Connector) to New River park and would also serve as a commuter link from
Blacksburg to Radford. Currently, Peppers Ferry Road is too dangerous for non-motorized
travel. Future plans indicate that this road may be widened to four lanes making
biking or walking impossible along Peppers Ferry Road without an off-road trail.
