Honestly, I’ve never seen this section of the trail that “packed” before. The only time I’ve had issues was when local HS cross country teams decided to start holding after school practices between Brandywine and Patrick Henry because they run in huge groups side by side and let’s be honest, HS kids typically aren’t that aware of their surroundings. Is this going to try to pay for that Sycamore/Roosevelt overpass from East Falls Church metro and Brandywine?
On the bridge from EFC – Brandywine, ArlCo is studying to make this connection. That’s the first step. Then we get the project into a plan, based on the study. Then we apply for funding. So… it’s going to be a while. (Don’t shoot the messenger; I tried for a different outcome during the Bike Element).
On the widening, I the the mode separation will help. I’ve seen plenty of days where it was too crazy with all the runners and walkers and cyclists, and mode separation will help. It’s not competing with the bridge project.
