Take Action for a Better Arlington

After years of work and several long rounds of public engagement, Arlington has a new draft transportation plan!  There is a lot to like in the draft, and our primary goal is to make sure it stays intact from here to adoption.  The curb-space hierarchy prioritizes safety and building out the bike and transit networks over parking; it recognizes the need for enforcement and prioritizes our enforcement efforts on those laws that have the greatest safety impact; it supports EV charging not just for cars, but e-bikes and e-scooters as well. That said, there are a few details that we think still need work to get right around safe accommodations for those walking, biking, and scooting during construction as well as small important links in the Micromobility Network.
