Upcoming Bike/Paving Projects around the County

[Zachary Schrag]

I would just like to say thank you for the new bike lanes on Sycamore Street, which make it that much easier to get to and from the Metro and the W&OD. I am glad to learn that they will be extended farther north.

Lots of good work. Thanks for all the planning and effort that went into the bike plan to get those lanes added.

Two things I noticed on my few days of commuting since returning from vacation.
1) The steel plate fix on the Custis trail between yellow marker 12 and 13 is great. The sink hole that was starting to form before I left was starting to look scary.
2) I’m one of the weirdos that prefers to ride with traffic up Lee Highway from Rosslyn instead of on the other side of the wall on the Custis trail. If I recall correctly, that paving was done by VDOT and not Arlington. Maybe it is just me, but I think the white line got a little closer to the wall. No biggie. I dance with cars and buses pretty well.

Thanks to all who had a part in the advocacy and planning! You folks are awesome awesome awesome.

Love,

Pete
