Take Action for a Better Arlington

The Neighborhood Complete Streets program is bringing some basic, much-needed improvements to an intersection near Wakefield High School.  The intersection currently lacks a crosswalk, the wide lanes encourage speeding, and drivers park too close to the intersection, limiting visibility.

This sort of basic improvement shouldn't require public engagement, but until we have a better system, let's quickly speak-up for this simple safety project.  The form is short enough you can knock it out while waiting for your coffee order.

Alexandria is looking to make improvements to several high-crash intersections, including three intersections along Route 7 / King Street that are right on the Arlington border.  Let Alexandria know how you feel traveling these intersections and what needs improvement! If you're familiar with the Seminary Road and Van Dorn St intersections, weigh-in on those too!

As Arlington approaches the end of its initial Five-Year Vision Zero Action Plan, it is time for another annual safety feedback check-in.  This is our yearly opportunity to tell Arlington's Vision Zero team how things are going and what you'd like to see more or less of as part of the Vision Zero Program.

We'd like to see more proven facility improvements like protected bike lanes and more frequent signal-assisted crossings of arterial roads, as well as increased enforcement targeted at fake temporary license plates and photo-reflective plate covers that our most dangerous drivers use to evade automated enforcement.
