Take Action for a Better Arlington

Arlington's Vision Zero Action Plan is 5 years old and ready for an update.  Speak up today about what's working and what we need to do to really achieve zero deaths & serious injuries on our transportation network by 2030!  Use our suggested feedback, or add your own.

Doctor's Run is an important park.  It's a community gathering space, picnic area, volleyball venue, playground, and it's also an important transportation connection for those walking, biking, and scooting.  The existing trail through Doctor's Run Park is part of the 12th St S Bicycle Boulevard, providing a safe place for people to bike & scoot parallel to Columbia Pike, and an important route for students at Randolph Elementary.  As the Barcroft Apartments grow and evolve under their new ownership, this connection will only become more important.

Speak up for the importance of the trail and path connections through the Park (and make sure the updated playground is great while you're at it). The existing trail is too steep, too windy, too narrow, has several steep drop-offs, and does not connect to 12th Rd S, which is the planned route for the bicycle boulevard extension through Barcroft. The renovation completely fails to connect the updated amenities to the existing trail making access very circuitous for families with strollers or kids on bikes!

Arlingtonians are invited to a public engagement meeting with the Arlington Police Department.  Submit your questions in advance - maybe you want to know about speeding enforcement, or parking in bike lanes, or safety on buses?  Choose from two locations: Rosslyn on Wed 11/12 or Crystal City on Thu 11/13 or participate virtually online.  Make sure your police are focused on YOUR needs & priorities!

Arlington is updating its Comprehensive Plan, its long-range plan for livability and what the community wants to look like in the future. This is a big-picture document, and your opportunity to shape how Arlington grows and develops over the next generation.

Join us to call on the County Board to create a Vibrant, Diverse, Sustainable, and Inclusive Arlington where housing is abundant and nobody has to depend on a car!
