Virginia Museum of Transportation
As opportunities arise, we embrace them and grow. In response to an invitation to participate in plans for the future; a concept of a Regional Transportation Hub being located adjacent to, and together with, The Virginia Museum of Transportation.
Establishing a "Round-About" @ Salem & 3rd, with aggressive treeplanting, will establish a pedestrian friendy prominence signalling a Regional Transportation Hub. An ideal location is created for a "Marquee" for the Virginia Museum of Transportation.
Extending the architecture of the historic building south toward Salem Avenue provides shade, protection from the weather for terminal users and museum vistors alike.
Perhaps a Regional Transportation Hub would have a Segway Rental Center. Maybe it would include a Shuttle Terminal for the Airport, the Civic Center, the Medical Centers. The Valley Metro Downtown depot? Rail Excursion connection?
Transforming such vision into reality is not under the control of individuals, but within ...the power of our community. If we can establish a community vision, we can all find ways to implement the dream incrementally.Can the Virginia Museum of Transportation serve to help envision and describe the future of Transportation as well?
