North Franklin St./Depot St. Intersection Improvements

The Town of Christiansburg will be holding a design public hearing on the proposed improvements to the intersection of N. Franklin St. and Depot St. The design public hearing is being held to provide an opportunity for any person, acting on his/her own behalf or representing a group or governing agency, to give comments and/or suggestions on the proposed project.

The Town of Christiansburg strives to ensure that all members of the community have the opportunity to participate in public decisions on transportation projects and programs affecting them. Christiansburg and Rinker Design Associates (RDA) representatives will be present at the design public hearing to discuss the project and answer your questions.

A comment sheet will be available for this meeting, and your input is encouraged. All oral and written comments received on this project will be included in a transcript for review by Christiansburg personnel, citizens and other interested parties.
