Whole Foods provides easy sidewalk entrance. A Capital Bikeshare station is directly in front. U-shaped bike racks and bike lanes with a concrete barrier make it a bikeable destination. Good lighting invites shopping after dark. Quite close to Pentagon City metro. Several bus stops within a block, some with bench and shelter. Sidewalks are in great shape, wide enough for two-way pedestrian traffic. The entrance could be accessed by wheelchair easily.
