    Lee/Lynn is of course at the top of my question list.

    Never stop bringing this up. It has been decades of us bringing this up. Cyclists were approaching ArlCo about this 25 years ago.

    Thanks for this.

    I’d add:
    >With Lee/Lynn: (1) the current light cycle and (2) management of different types of users headed in different directions. With the VERY short crossing time for peds and cyclists, we’ve ended up with an unsafe mix of people crossing Lynn and heading off in different directions (mainly Key Bridge and MVT, but also into Rosslyn). Different speeds + different directions + little space = Danger Will Robinson.
    >Longer-term expansion of the Custis trail.

    My understanding is that the County is drawing up plans to take a lane from Lee WB to expand the Custis. Personally, I think pedestrians and cyclists need to be separated on this stretch (widening a glorified sidewalk just leaves us with a wide glorified sidewalk). I’m not sure if a grade-separated cycletrack is better than a VERY wide trail with clear markings to separate different modes.

    Anybody else? Tour starts at 6pm this evening. I’ll check the thread from my phone once more before we start.

    Sorry, I got nothing. I don’t ride in Rosslyn that often. Given all the stories I hear about Lynn St., I have no desire to make unnecessary trips through that intersection.
