Well, this is awesome news. Amazing work, Three Notch’D Trail! It’s only ~12-14 miles to Charlottesville, which is a reasonable ride, and easy ride on an e-bike.
Here’s hoping this happens in my lifetime.

| Albemarle County Launches Master Plan forThree Notched Trail Shared-Use Path Planning Work to Begin in Early 2025 |
| ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA – Albemarle County has selected Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) to lead the master planning process for the Three Notched Trail Shared-Use Path. The planning effort will begin in early 2025 and take approximately 22 months to complete. The consulting team has significant experience in shared-use path planning and design, including work on the Virginia Statewide Trails Plan. Their proposal was selected based on their technical expertise and approach to public engagement. The Three Notched Trail will be a multi-use path separated from vehicle traffic that will follow portions of the historic Three Notched Road. It will connect the western edge of Charlottesville, the development area of Crozet, and the Blue Ridge Tunnel. “This path will connect residents and visitors to education, employment, and recreational opportunities in western Albemarle County, the City of Charlottesville, and Nelson County,” said Jessica Hersh-Ballering, Albemarle County principal planner. “Ultimately, the shared use path will improve safety and accessibility, while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions and fostering economic activity in the region. Project staff are looking forward to working collaboratively with community residents to design a shared use path that delivers these outcomes and meets community expectations.” The planning process will include opportunities for community input through public meetings, an online survey, and pop-up events. A project website will provide updates for community members, and regular reports will be shared during Board of Supervisors meetings. Technical work will focus on determining the preferred trail alignment, prioritizing key segments, and developing a functional design and implementation plan. The planning effort is funded by a $2 million RAISE grant, a federal program that supports surface transportation infrastructure projects. No local match was required. Once the master plan is complete, additional funding will be needed for further planning, right-of-way acquisition, and construction. |
