Share your feedback on Downhill Bike Lane & Right Turn Conflict by September 26th
This summer, we launched the Downhill Bike Lane & Right Turn Conflict Pilot Project to address potentially high-risk conflict points when a driver makes a right turn across a downhill-sloped bike lane.
The four pilot locations were chosen because they feature right hand turns across downhill bike lanes, three of which were identified during the High-Injury Network safety audit of Clarendon Blvd:
- Clarendon Blvd & 17th St N
- Clarendon Blvd & N Scott St
- Clarendon Blvd & Driveways Across from N Troy St
- Wilson Blvd & N Manchester St

We are seeking feedback as we assess the impacts of and next steps for this pilot. Share your thoughts on the pilot by Sept 26 by answering these five questions.

 Share your feedback on Route 50/Arlington Blvd & Highland St Median Closure Pilot by September 26th
This spring, we installed pilot safety treatments in collaboration with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) at the intersection of Route 50 & N/S Highland St using tactical in-street materials (signs, markings, flex posts).
The goal of the pilot is to reduce crash risks caused by uncontrolled left turn and through movements over multiple lanes of high-speed traffic on Route 50. A VDOT Arlington Blvd Safety Improvements Project will address unsignalized left turn and through movements along the corridor slated to begin in 2030. This pilot tests the feasibility of an interim safety solution using flex posts at the intersection of Route 50 and N/S Highland St. Route 50 & Highland was selected for the pilot because it had the highest left turn/through crash rate for an unsignalized intersection along the Route 50 corridor.

Join County staff for an information open house on Thursday, September 18th, to see the community-informed concept designs for the Columbia Pike Boulevard projects. The project will provide routes on neighborhoods streets parallel to Columbia Pike.
At the open house, you will have a chance to see the designs, ask project staff questions, and give your own feedback to inform the next step in the design.
The open house will take place on Thursday, September 18, at 6:00 PM at South Walter Reed Drive Community Center. Learn more on the event page. If you can’t attend the Open House, you can still participate, keep an eye out for the online form on the project webpage.
