Lighting Improved at BT Stop at University City Kroger

UCB/Glade Sbnd #1314, 2/27/17

Lighting has been improved at the Blacksburg Transit Stop on University City Blvd. near Glade Road and the University City Kroger. Electricity now is running underground from the Kroger sign to the bus shelter.  Kroger is providing the electricity for the bus shelter at no charge. “The lighting has improved safety and attractiveness of the area,” said Tom Fox, director of Blacksburg Transit.  “Our customers should feel more comfortable at night, and our operators can see inside the shelter more clearly.” “We appreciate Kroger’s working with us and providing the electricity,” added Fox. In addition to the University City store, Kroger also has a store on S. Main Street in Blacksburg.
