Phase 1
The ONE VCU Master Plan targets eight intersections in need of pedestrian-oriented accessibility and safety improvements. The first priority locations for improvements were the intersections at Shafer and Franklin Streets, Linden and Main Streets, and Cary and Harrison Streets. Of these locations, Shafer and Franklin Streets as well as Linden and Main Streets are heavily traversed pedestrian routes with frequent vehicular movement so the intersections were retrofitted to provide safe, effective pedestrian crossings. Adjacent underutilized space on campus was revitalized as convenient, informal gathering spaces.
