This project extends Grace Street through the JMU campus to connect with Bluestone Drive. Shared use paths will be constructed on both sides of the street along the extension, with additional shared use path constructed along Bluestone Drive to Carrier Drive, connecting to the existing Bluestone Trail shared use path. The extension allows new transit routes to better serve the Goldwin Transfer Center. Construction will be completed in 2020. The Grace Street extension was identified as a street connection in James Madison University's Campus Master Plan. The University is a financial partner in the project, without which the project would not be possible. It is also partially funded by a VDOT Revenue Sharing grant.
