The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has announced that it will host public hearings in late May and early June on an upcoming environmental assessment for the Transform 66 Outside the BeltwayProject. The Fairfax County hearings are May 27 & 28. Details are below.

This is another great opportunity for bicyclists and other citizens concerned about transportation options in Fairfax to provide comments to VDOT. We’ll be posting our comments on the latest plans after they are released 15 days before the hearings.

You can review project information at www.transform66.org, at the public hearings, or at VDOT's Northern Virginia District Office at 4975 Alliance Drive in Fairfax beginning May 12, 2015. VDOT says that preliminary plans, project schedule, and right-of-way, environmental and civil rights information, will be available for review.  Written comments may be submitted by mail to Ms. Susan Shaw, Megaprojects Director, at the VDOT District Office address above, or by email to Transform66@VDOT.Virginia.gov. Please reference "Transform 66 Outside the Beltway Public Hearing" in the subject line. Comments must be postmarked, emailed or delivered to VDOT by June 18, 2015 to be included in the public hearing record.

The hearing schedule is as follows, with all hearings running between 5:30 - 9:00 p.m. with a brief presentation at each hearing beginning at 7:00 p.m.
