We certainly could use your help to get bike lanes installed on King Street.
The City of Alexandria is proposing concepts for King Street to address resident concerns for pedestrian and bicycle safety, consistent with the City’s strategic goals for multi-modal transportation and the City’s Complete Street policy. A full description of the proposed concepts and impacts is located here: http://alexandriava.gov/localmotion/info/default.aspx?id=74320
The concepts address the need for traffic calming, and to varying degrees, provide for pedestrian-motor vehicle separation and bike lanes for bicycle safety.
This is a multi-faceted issue with impacts, both to the residents in the immediate vicinity, and to Alexandrians at large who will benefit from the opportunity to have safer transportation options and better access to transit and schools in this corridor.
