  • The segment's far end meets Route 13 (Lankford Highway) at the signalized intersection shared with Country Place
  • VDOT's construction scope for the project included marking crosswalks at associated intersections
  • The adjoining 1.4-mile Cheriton segment, which continues north from Route 13 and Country Place, remained under construction at VDOT's most recent update, with signage and pavement markings still outstanding
  • VDOT's environmental review recorded a stakeholder concern that locally common golf carts might be driven on the path despite not being an intended user; bollards and signage were under consideration when that document was written
  • VDOT publishes no information about shade, drinking water, restrooms, or lighting anywhere along the segment
