Merrifield Bike Lanes Meeting in October
FCDOT will be holding a public meeting on October 5 on the proposed addition of bike lanes on Merrilee Drive from the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro to the Mosaic District. The meeting will be at the Luther Jackson Middle School Cafeteria, 3020 Gallows Rd, in Falls Church from 7:00 to 8:30 pm (enter through Door #4 on the back side of the building to access the cafeteria).
The new bikeway will consist of wayfinding signage, sharrows, bike lanes and buffered bike lanes on Merrilee Drive from Prosperity Avenue to Strawberry Lane. The project is limited to striping changes, and the proposed striping plan will be available soon.
FABB encourages members to attend the hearing and support this cost-effective approach to adding bike facilities to the Merrifield area. If you can’t attend, you can still provide your comments on the project by using the comment form on the FCDOT project page, by writing the FCDOT Bicycle Program at 4050 Legato Road, Suite 400, Fairfax, VA 22033, or by calling 703-877-5600. Even a short message stating your support for and appreciation of FCDOT efforts to expand biking infrastructure in the county helps build and maintain momentum for better bicycling in Fairfax.
