Take Action for a Better Arlington

For a variety of reasons, good and bad, Columbia Pike is being completely rebuilt without any dedicated bike facilities.  Instead, parallel routes are supposed to exist for bikes just north and just south of the Pike, the Columbia Pike Bike Boulevards.  These routes have never been fully connected, but the County is finally looking and creating a long-term cohesive plan for these routes. It's critical that we tell the County that the bike boulevards need to be signed, traffic needs to be calmed, major road crossings need to be addressed, and gaps need to be filled!

Arlington National Cemetery is looking to make some much-needed improvements to its entry area - a new welcome center, better circulation for people walking & biking to the Cemetery, improved wayfinding for people driving the cemetery, etc.  We think the plans are good, but could be even better by improving access from the planned Arlington Memorial Trail, moving the Capital Bikeshare station to the new entrance plaza, and increasing safety at the existing 110 trail offramp.

Arlington is rewriting their entire transportation plan and opportunities like this don't come around very often!  The first round of public engagement for "Arlington's Transportation Future" is taking place RIGHT NOW.  Mark your calendars for one of the great events listed below, and hit up the online survey and map as well.  We've got a few pieces of suggested feedback, but mostly we just need YOUR experience and values about transportation in Arlington.
