A critical piece of the Crystal City Bike Network is improving 18th Street South between the Metro station and Crystal Drive.  This piece helps people on bikes connect to a number of important destinations including the Crystal City Metro, the Mount Vernon Trail, the National Landing Water Park, MetroWay, the Crystal City VRE Station, and more!

At long last, our first look at a real concept plan for this project has arrived.  We think it's pretty great, but could offer better protection at a lower maintenance cost with real curbs.  Additionally, we would like staff to think hard about how cyclists connect through between this facility and the soon-to-be-built trail that will extend down Bell Street to the Crystal City Metro.
