Please Support Fairfax Co Parkway Trail Improvements

Parkway Trail south of Rt 29

VDOT is planning to widen Fairfax Co Parkway between Route 29 and Route 123. The parallel bike trail diverts from the parkway in this section between Burke Center Parkway and Route 123. As part of the project a new trail will be built to fill in that gap. According to VDOT, "In addition to the roadway widening, improvements will be made to the existing Fairfax County Parkway Trail. Where there is no trail currently, a new shared-use path will be constructed to make the trail continuous within the project limits."

While we believe VDOT is committed to improving the trial, it will help if a few people write in support of those trail improvements. Comments are being accepted until October 15. Please consider writing to VDOT to support the proposed trail improvements. If the above link does not work, the email address is http://meetingcomments@vdot.virginia.gov.
