Forum members,
Arlington Parks is proposing the following MOTs/Detours for work on the Bluemont Connector.
Please sent comment BY JULY 3.
[begin shared text from Arl DPR below)
We’d like to share the draft maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan so that you are aware of the suggested detours that we’re anticipating to take place during the construction period, and share your feedback to help us ensure the MOT works well for cyclists and pedestrians.
Right now, construction is planned to take five days during mid-August, 2020. As you can see by the attached maps, we have a different draft MOT for the three phases of construction that will take place. All construction will happen between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. on each day, allowing bicyclists and pedestrians to use the trail as they normally would outside of those hours.
We plan on communicating the finalized MOT plan and detours to the broader community starting at the end of July, but wanted to see if you or other members of the Bike and Walk Arlington have any feedback on the draft MOT as it stands today. Juan Du (jdu@arlingtonva.us), the project manager CC’d in this email, would like to use any thoughts you provide to help inform the final draft.

Surely Arlington and Fairfax are coordinating infrastructure master plan schedules?

If we want to creep that far, I’d also love to have all the root heaves just south of Wilson fixed up, too.
Those root heaves are off the hook. I considered ordering custom yard signs saying “Free Vasectomy Ahead”, “All Terrain Vehicles Only”, “Have Your Dentist’s # Handy”, “Helmet Buckled?”, “Hold On Tight”, “Secure Loose Change Now”, “Who Needs Bouncy Castles”, “Bend Those Knees, Please!”, etc. Still may do it

So the project to re-pave the Bluemont Trail (not the bit between Bluemont and Wilson as I think many were discussing above) has started in earnest today (there were “trail closed” signs all last week, but the trail never seemed closed). Today the bit from Wilson to N Emerson was completely closed and re-rounte and they closed the trail down to Illinois (I think that one). They claim they will be done in a week to 10 days. They are re-routing in three batches, but no idea how long each will be.
Trail has been repaved from the W&OD Trail to Wilson Boulevard.
