Roanoke's $14-million downtown transit center has been four years in the making.

An extended runway would be critical to the Roanoke airport’s long-term survival, according to the agency's executive director.

Valley Metro opened part of its $13-million Third Street Station, which includes a Greyhound bus facility and city bus center.

Plans to change the four-lane stretch to two car lanes, a center turn lane and bike lanes have garnered mixed reactions.

A proposal for the Northeast Roanoke corridor would add bike lanes and convert four traffic lanes to two with a center turn lane.

The unveiling of Roanoke’s station last week marks the debut of several developments in the city’s public transit scene.
