Tysons-Old Meadow Road Bicycle-Pedestrian Improvement Project Update
In June the Virginia Department of Transportation held a Design Public Hearing on the Tysons-Old Meadow Road project. This project, in cooperation with Fairfax County, will build a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over I-495 and shared-use path in the vicinity of Route 123 to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and connectivity in the Tysons area.
VDOT recently completed a required Environmental Studies Memo (ESM) to assess the impacts of changes in the project and determine the significance of any new potential impacts since the approved environmental document in 2006.
The ESM is now available for public review at the project website: http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/resources/NorthernVirginia/ESM_-_Signed.pdf
FABB supports this project as an important step in making biking in the Tysons area easier and safer. If you have any questions or comments, please email Steven Warner, Environmental Specialist, at Steven.Varner@vdot.virginia.gov by September 4, 2018. Please reference "Tysons/Old Meadow Road Bicycle/Pedestrian Improvements" in the subject line.
