David Kirschner, from Arlington County's Transportation Engineering & Operations department wrote in to let me know about the following:
TE&O project list as it relates to cyclists, as of 6/10 –
Paving Projects – Complete
•Walter Reed Dr. between Glebe Rd. & Columbia Pike
-Wide outside lane will be marked with sharrows for this segment
•Arlington Mill Dr. between Walter Reed Dr. & 29th St. S.
-EB converted from two travel lanes to one parking lane, bike lane, and one travel lane
Paving Projects – In Progress
•George Mason Dr. between Four Mile Run Dr. & Columbia Pike
-Marked with wide outside lane – sharrows under consideration
•N. Roosevelt St.\N. Sycamore St. between Fairfax County line and Washington Blvd.
-Wide outside lane between Fairfax County line and 16th St. N. will be marked with sharrows
-Bike lane provided from 16th St. N. to Washington Blvd. (in front of East Falls Church Metro) to continue to the north
Paving Projects – Design Stage (will be completed this year)
•N. Sycamore St. between Washington Blvd. & Williamsburg Blvd.
-Bike lane provided from Washington Blvd. to just north of Lee Hwy. (24th St. N.)
-Wide outside lane with sharrows marked from 24th St. N. to 26th St. N.
-Bike lane provided from 26th St. N. to Williamsburg Blvd.
•N. Lynn St. between Fairfax Dr. & Lee Hwy.
-Investigating possible bicycle facilities
•Wilson Blvd. between Wayne St. and Washington Blvd. (Clarendon Circle)
-Existing lane configuration will be put back (bike lane and parking lanes) with wider bike lanes where possible
•Army-Navy Dr. between A-N Country Club and S. Joyce St.
-Road diet planned – existing roadway is overbuilt
-4-lane roadway will be changed to two travel lanes, parking lanes, and bike lanes
•S. Lynn St. – Pentagon City area
-Investigating possible bicycle facilities
Transportation Engineering Marking Projects - Complete (these are street marking projects unrelated to the County paving schedule)
•N. Quincy St. between Fairfax Dr. & 13th St. N.
-Bike lanes added
•N. Quincy St. between 20th Rd. N. & Lee Hwy.
-Bike lanes extended to Lee Hwy (SB) and to 21st St. N. (NB)
Transportation Engineering Marking Projects – Design Stage (hope to complete these this year)
•Wilson Blvd. between Rosslyn and Courthouse
-Third travel lane removed uphill from Rosslyn to add bike lane
•Clarendon Blvd. between Clarendon Circle and Courthouse
-Existing pavement markings in poor shape
-Existing lane configuration will be put back (bike lane and parking lanes) with wider bike lanes where possible
•Hayes St./18th St. S. from Army-Navy Dr. to S. Eads St.
-Existing bike lane markings improved to current style (edge line added between parking lane and bike lane)
•18th St. S. from S. Eads St. to Crystal Dr.
-Bike lanes added where possible, sharrows otherwise
•Crystal Dr. between 26th St. S. and 23rd St. S.
-Bike lane added
•S. Clark St. between 23rd St. S. and 27th St. S.
-Bike lane added
•S. Eads St. between Army-Navy Dr. and S. Glebe Rd.
-Bike lanes added where possible, sharrows where width not sufficient for bike lanes
-Existing bike lanes re-marked, widened where possible
Other Transportation Projects
-On-street bike parking on 20th St. S. at Crystal Dr. (near City Hub)
-Including markings, traffic separators, and bike racks
Of course some of these are subject to changed but this is the list as it stands now. As I noted, the paving projects will get done this year – they have to, as the streets will be paved whether or not we choose. The marking projects depend on several things but I would expect most if not all to be completed this year. We are investigating one or two more sites (S. Joyce St. in front of Pentagon Row comes to mind) but those have not risen to the level where I think they will be done this year.
