Liberty University Campus Master Plan

Page 71

BUS AND BIKE CIRCULATION Bus routing was established after thorough study of the master plan’s proposed distribution of academic programs, student housing, recreational field locations, and commuter and event parking facilities. Once those factors were understood, a careful analysis of user volumes and trip frequencies was executed to establish the necessary service model. The new road network and campus loop provide for efficient bus scheduling and create a clear structure for strong bus program performance. A wellmarked and coordinated system of bike paths, along with ample bike storage facilities, further strengthen Liberty’s ability to provide a range of transportation options. 2-MINS WALK RADIUS BIKE RACK/ SHELTER BUS STOP BIKE ROUTES BUS ROUTES

CAMPUS ENTRIES Three major entries have been introduced to the campus to help improve connectivity while also enhancing the visibility of the University to the public. A generous vehicular tunnel at Rt. 29 brings much needed access to the core of the campus. Its four lanes accommodate ample volume while introducing a long-absent way to move into the University from the west. As part of the work on the new library, a smaller pedestrian tunnel connects the academic commons to the many commercial establishments that students frequent along Rt. 29. Visitors coming from Rt. 460 also gain another access point into the east campus, opening the door to further development of that area of campus.
