$22 Million in Bike/Ped Projects Approved by Fairfax Co Board of Supervisors

At their December 8 meeting the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved $22 million in pedestrian and bicycle projects around the Reston and Herndon Metrorail stations. The full list of projects contains some major bike improvements, including $8,000,000 for bike lanes and a shared use path along Sunrise Valley Drive and $1,000,000 for Bikeshare in Reston.

This is a major commitment by the Board of Supervisors to improving bicycle and pedestrian access to the Silver Line stations in Reston and Herndon. Please consider thanking your Board member or Chairman Bulova, especially those of you who live in the Reston-Herndon area.

The projects were recommended by the Herndon Metrorail Stations Access Management Study Advisory Group and the Reston Metrorail Access Group. FABB participated in both efforts.

The following is a list of selected major bike-related projects sorted by cost estimate:
