Right now, George Mason Drive really only works for cars.  It is difficult to cross, traffic goes fast, sidewalks are narrow, and facilities for bikes & scooters are few, disconnected, and unprotected.  Thanks to previous hard work adopting Arlington's new bike plan and Vizion Zero Plan, the County has kicked-off a study to look at how George Mason Drive could be made to work for all users.

Due to topography, Four Mile Run, and the W&OD Trail right-of-way, there are few good North-South connectors in this area of South Arlington.  George Mason Drive is a critical link for people trying to walk & bike to Wakefield High School, Randolph Elementary School, Barcroft Park, Alcova Heights Park, the National Foreign Affairs Training Center, and more.
