VDOT public hearing tonight on I-66 outside the Beltway
I-66 extends through the heart of Fairfax County. The Custis Trail should be extended from inside the Beltway along this stretch of the highway. Questions cyclists should pose include: Are bike facilities included parallel to I-66 as is required by the Fairfax Co Countywide Trails Plan? Can cyclists safely travel through I-66 intersections? Are there good connections to transit? Can cyclists access Park & Ride facilities and find good bike parking?
According to the EIS, "The identified needs to be addressed include: transportation capacity deficiencies, major points of congestion, limited travel mode choices, safety deficiencies, and lack of transportation predictability." All of these problems can be addressed with better bicycle connectivity.
