News Public invited to learn more on Banister River Gateway project
SoVaNow.com / February 08, 2010
The Town of Halifax has been awarded $60,000 in SAFETEA-LU (Safe Accountable Flexible Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users) funds from VDOT for engineering and design along with any needed right-of-way acquisition or utility relocation for the Banister River Gateway Project. On Thursday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. a kick-off meeting has been scheduled in Town Hall to discuss the project.The Banister River Gateway Project will supplement the VDOT Banister River Bridge Replacement Project on Virginia Byway 360 with gateway improvements to include bridge streetlights, landscaped wayside and parking, a gateway sign, and signage interpreting significant historic events including information regarding the river’s navigational history and the route of General Nathaniel Greene through Halifax following his “Race to the Dan” (The Town had requested a total funding of $256,115.00). Carolyn France is the VDOT Enhancement Grant Coordinator and she will explain the process and compliance requirements. Randy Lichtenberger, VDOT Preservation Program Manager who identified the Banister River Navigation Improvements District (VDHR 041-5311), to be eligible for listing on the Virginia and National Register and Zach Weddle, Construction Manager for the replacement bridge, will be present as well. Carol Corker and Robin Tuck-Setti with the Southside Planning District Commission will be assisting the town with the grant implementation. Non-motorized river access is a desirable outcome in this collaboration while the replacement bridge project is underway, but because it may not qualify under SAFETEA-LU, the project will leverage the technical assistance from James Adams and Steve Kessler, with the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, along with Bob Munson with the state Department of Conservation and Recreation, who can assist in developing the Banister River Blueway which was identified in the 2007 Virginia Outdoors Plan and the Town of Halifax Comprehensive Plan. The town will work to find other funding sources for this type of recreational facility in addition to improvements at the existing boat landing on Banister Lake as identified in the Comp Plan. Other stakeholders invited to attend include members of the Dan River Basin Association, Roanoke River Rails to Trails, the Halifax County Historical Society, Old Dominion RC&D, Halifax County Tourism Office and the Banister River Garden Club, along with a number of individuals who have expressed support and interest in the project as well.
