Meeting on McWhorter Place Trail on Wed. May 25
McWhorter Place is located south of Route 236 in Annandale, just inside the Beltway. It is an important bicycle route with a very low speed limit. There is a missing connection between two segments of the street that is currently a goat trail used by bicyclists and pedestrians. Fairfax County plans to build a new trail connecting the two street segments. Bike lanes are planned on the eastern section of McWhorter Place and John Marr Dr, another reason this is an important connection. Cyclists in the this area are encouraged to support this project at the meeting on Wed.
