32.00-0000) for development of the Roanoke River Greenway in the Vinton Magisterial
District.
BACKGROUND:
The Roanoke River Greenway is a proposed 30-mile regional bicycle and pedestrian
trail developing through the Roanoke Valley, linking the Cities of Roanoke and Salem,
the Town of Vinton, and Roanoke County. The 2018 Roanoke Valley Greenway Plan
identifies the Roanoke River Greenway as its number one priority in the region, as
shown on the attached map. The greenway will serve as the primary non-motorized
transportation facility providing a critical link between the urbanized areas in Virginia’s
Blue Ridge, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and Explore Park. The 2007 Roanoke County
Page 1of 3
Comprehensive Master Plan for Parks and Facilities identified the development of
greenways and trails as a high priority desired by citizens in Roanoke County.
Extension of the Roanoke River Greenway is supported in the Explore Park Adventure
Plan and the Roanoke County Community Strategic Plan, adopted in 2016 by the
Roanoke County Board of Supervisors.
DISCUSSION:
Roanoke County is overseeing the design, right-of-way acquisition, and construction of
the East Roanoke River Greenway proposed through Explore Park in the Vinton
Magisterial District, identified as VDOT UPC No. 113567. This approximately 1.4-mile
section of the greenway will be an 8-10 foot-wide, paved, shared use path proposed
south of the Roanoke River. The project is funded with $3,020,308 in Surface
Transportation Block Grant (STBG)/Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP)
funding and $1,275,000 in Carbon Reduction Program (CRP) funding. The greenway
project is a Locally Administered Project with oversight from the Virginia Department of
Transportation (VDOT). For federal-aid projects, VDOT is required by the U.S.
Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to certify local
government compliance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act), as amended, found in Title 42 Chapter
61 of the United States Code and the implementing regulations found in 49 CFR Part
24.
The greenway project has been designed by AECOM. Temporary construction and
permanent easements are needed for the greenway proposed across the properties
owned by the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority. This ordinance authorizes the
acquisition of permanent and temporary easements at Explore Park on properties
owned by the Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority (Tax Map Numbers 080.00-05-
24.00-0000,080.00-05-26.00-0000,080.00-05-27.00-0000,080.00-05-29.00-
0000,080.00-05-30.00-0000, 080.00-05-31.00-0000, 080.00-05-32.00-0000) for
development of the Roanoke River Greenway in the Vinton Magisterial District.
On June 29, 2023, representatives from the Roanoke County Department of Parks,
Recreation and Tourism presented a request to the Virginia Recreational Facilities
Authority Board of Directors for donation of the permanent and temporary easements
needed for the greenway. The Board of Directors agreed unanimously to the donation
and conveyance of temporary construction easements in the amount of 4.590 acres
(199,950 square feet), a permanent greenway easement in the amount of 4.957 acres
(215,944 square feet), and a permanent drainage easement in the amount of 0.927
acres (40,363 square feet), as shown on a sealed plat prepared by H & B Surveying
and Mapping, LLC dated May 31, 2023.
A deed of easement with red line revisions requested by the VRFA and the sealed plats
are attached to the board report.
Page 2of 3
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Virginia Recreational Facilities Authority is donating the temporary and permanent
easements to Roanoke County, so there are no costs associated with the purchase of
these easements.
The project is funded with Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG)/Regional Surface
Transportation Program (RSTP) and Carbon Reduction Program funding. Both
programs provide one hundred percent (100%) federal and state reimbursement of
eligible project expenses, requiring no local match.
Roanoke County will be responsible for the construction and future maintenance of the
greenway.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance and setting the second reading of the
ordinance for August 22, 2023.
VOTE:
Supervisor Radford moved to approve the first reading and schedule the second
reading for August 22, 2023. Supervisor Peters seconded the motion. Motion

ISSUE:
MVP, LLC has offered to provide a public service donation to Roanoke County in the
amount of $10,538.59.
BACKGROUND:
On June 30, 2021, three (3) individuals locked themselves to an immobilized vehicle
filled with concrete and rebar, and purposefully blocked access to Honeysuckle Road in
Roanoke County (a public right-of-way). The Roanoke County Police Department
responded to this event and carried out an extensive and lengthy extraction of the three
(3) individuals in order to remove the blockage of Honeysuckle Road.
DISCUSSION:
In an attempt to collect the monetary losses incurred by Roanoke County for this event,
the Roanoke County Attorney's Office initiated a civil suit on behalf of the County
against the three (3) individual protesters. Counsel for the three (3) individual protesters
has proposed a settlement of the civil suit with an agreement by the protesters to pay
for the cost of the tow service incurred on June 30, 2021 ($510). MVP, LLC has offered
to reimburse the County for any additional expenses possible (above the normal
salaries of law enforcement officers - which is disallowed by law), in order to relieve the
County of the additional financial burden incurred in responding to this event
Page 1of 2
($10,538.59).
