Where is the source for widening Chamberlayne?

The best source is RI02 Executive Summary page 1 showing Concept 1. Concept 1 is also shown in the stakeholder summary, and indicated to be the preferred concept. VDOT didn't publish anything that specifically addresses the pedestrian impact of increasing the road width by adding the right hand turn lanes. https://vaprojectpipeline.org/studies/richmond-district/ri02-route-1-chamberlayne-avenue.asp Here is a screenshot from RI02 Executive Summary:

Thank you.

Thanks for the links. I’d be interested to see if these improvements would affect any possible North/South BRT-Pulse route that’s being considered right now.

Also, those Median U-Turn lanes on Laburnum sound….weird.
