Cyclists Demand Safer Roads | Charlottesville News

Cyclists in Charlottesville-Albemarle are sounding the alarm over dangerous road conditions, after a rider narrowly avoided disaster near a rough, unpaved shoulder at a major interchange. With inadequate infrastructure putting riders at risk, Vice Mayor Nate Oschrin — herself a cyclist — says both city and county must share responsibility for safer streets. She’s pushing for connected bike lanes, protected paths, and traffic calming measures, while working with state agencies to fund a new dedicated bridge and reconfigure the hazardous interchange. Concrete steps are already underway, including restriping Rose Hill Drive with protected lanes, lower speed limits, and pedestrian upgrades — signaling a real commitment to making roads safer for all users.
