Tactical Urbanism in Arlington

[dasgeh]

So I had some ideas for the list:

Add protection to the following spots – possibly concrete planters or other art. Or plungers:
– Northbound N Quincy Street N between 14th St and the ramp to the Custis Trail (Could be a W-L student project)
– Southbound N Quincy Street N between 15th St and the southern end of the bridge over 66 (Could be a W-L student project)
– Eastbound Lee Highway between N Oakland St and N Monroe St (plunger-sized)
– Eastbound Lee Highway between N Oakland St and N Monroe St (plunger-sized)
– Old Dominion Drive between Lee Hwy and Glebe Road (plunger-sized)

Lynn and Lee — add concrete barrier blocking the left-turn-only-onto-Lee lane of Lynn to reduce crossing distance for Custis Trail (this will be permanently installed with the Lynn Esplanade/Custis Trail project, but can be done with jersey barriers now)

I like this! Another hotspot is Clarendon Blvd at Whole Foods. There are a lot of paint lanes on the road, which visually instructs traffic where not to go.

That would be a place for potential planters or plungers.

Agree, just north of there I’ve seen a dad run after his tot riding a scooter with no brakes down that bloody steep private driveway entrance to Oakgrove park at 15th and N Quincy – I had my heart in my mouth thinking the child would just hurtle into the street in front of the traffic. I don’t think the residents would agree to concrete planters if its their right of way.
