The Roanoke Valley Transportation Planning Organization (RVTPO) is accepting comments on the proposed Amendment #5 to the Roanoke Valley Transportation Plan (RVTP). The amendment seeks to consider projects with increases in cost greater than 10%.
The current RVTP, as shown below, reflects the two subject projects covered under this amendment.
| Jurisdiction | Project Title | Project Limits | Project Description | Est. Cost in Year of Expenditure |
| Town of Vinton | Glade Creek Greenway, Phase 2B | Gearhart Park to Walnut Avenue | Paved 10’ wide greenway from Gearhart Park to Walnut Avenue. | $476,000 |

The table below lists the projects and the proposed cost estimate increases.
