Henrico wants to make it easier to bike and walk to your favorite businesses at Willow Lawn. The county has opened a survey with proposed bicycle and pedestrian improvements for Libbie Avenue, Monument Avenue, and Willow Lawn Drive.

Willow Lawn itself is in the midst of its own long-term redevelopment. Federal Realty Trust wants to add as many as 2,000 residential units and 510,000 sqft of commercial and office space to the shopping center area.

The survey takes users through proposals for each street, along with visuals to help imagine possible changes. It covers roughly the area between Willow Lawn and St. Mary’s Hospital with Broad Street and Monument Avenue as north and south boundaries.

Proposed improvements include adding a bike lane on Willow Lawn drive and a shared use path on Libbie Avenue.

Complete the survey by Friday, Jan. 19.
