Tysons Task Force Meeting on Transportation
The Tysons Land Use Task Force will hold another “public” meeting on Monday, Dec. 17 at Marshall HS starting at 7 p.m. The Transportation and Liveability/Walkability subcommittees will report on work they are doing. Both committees are developing recommendations to help make Tysons a more bike-friendly place. The Transportation committee works closely with the transportation modelers from Cambridge Systematics. Unfortunately the models used do not properly integrate non-motorized transportation, which is analyzed after the initial motorized transportation models. This results in an inherent bias towards motorized transportation, in that the factors being used all reflect motorized travel. If you are interested in the future of bicycling in Tysons you may want to attend. While this is not a formal public meeting, there will be an opportunity for comments and questions from the audience.
