ROANOKE, Va. – As the 2024 Go Outside Festival approaches this weekend, the City of Roanoke is making it easier to get to the festival without a car.
Starting Friday, temporary bike lanes will be installed along Jefferson Street between Elm Avenue and Riverside Circle Southeast for a safer biking experience for festival goers, without closing the road for motorists.
“Go Fest is our region’s premiere outdoor festival, and a lot of people would love to choose to bike or ride a scooter here,” said Rob Issem, the Complete Streets and Vision Zero coordinator for the city of Roanoke. “This installation of protected bike lanes is gonna make that easier and safer than ever.”
The changes along Jefferson Street will last from Friday morning until early Sunday evening.
