Tysons bike plan meeting this Thursday

Fairfax County is hosting a meeting to discuss bicycling in Tysons. The meeting is this Thursday, Sept. 30 from 7-9pm at Joyce Kilmer Middle School located on Wolftrap Rd near Gallows Rd (see the Tysons bike plan meeting flier). This meeting is part of the Tysons bicycle master plan process. Planners want to solicit input from cyclists on what bicycle facilities are needed in Tysons. The goal is to allow more people to use bicycles for transportation and recreation in the future.

Tysons is not very bike friendly now, but with plans for another 85,000 residents living in Tysons in mixed-use, transit oriented developments located around four new metro stations, many more people will want to get around by bike. This is the first phase of a process for developing a bicycle master plan for the entire county over the next year and half. Cyclists are encouraged to attend the meeting and let the county know what you need.

Dr. Gridlock recently wrote about the planning effort: Fairfax looks at bike plan, and the county just published the Fairfax County Bicycle Master Plan page with info about the Tysons planning effort. See the FABB Tysons bike plan page for information we've collected on the Tysons bike planing process.
