I live 600 feet away from this circle and love the improvement! It is a much more context sensitive solution to the problem here than VDOT's original plan to re-align the trail, which was going to...

I wish they would re-open the Custis Trail underpass adjacent to Bon Air Park and Westover Park now that all that noise barrier work is complete. They've been rehabbing the middle of the I-66...

2026 is probably too optimistic. I think they will have a very difficult time obtaining a new contractor unless the new contract is extremely incentive laden. The contractors walking off this job are...

I use this crossing all the time and think this will be a huge improvement for both vehicles and bikes/peds. Neither can see each other at all due to the trees/brush and parked cars. Also, drivers...

What will the longer-term project entail? Are they burying the overhead power transmission lines?

Yes, you can view the February 2020 presentation at: https://highways.dot.gov/sites/fhwa.dot.gov/files/PublicHearingPresentation.pdf

The proposed grade-separated GWMP trail crossing shown on sheets 24 and 24A under the I-495 on-ramp looks pretty cool.

Thanks for the great summary! Are these laws effective now or after July 1?

The W&OD, 4MR, Bluemont, and Custis Trails have all been packed lately. I talked to a Park Ranger in Bon Air park yesterday and as part of his job, he's doing head counts on these trails and says...

These are Pre-Final plans, so they seem very far along for public comment to make any meaningful changes. One thing I noticed is that this will be an extremely steep trail (13% to 14% grade).

The...

I hope they stay exclusively with the docked model. Dockless seemed like a huge fad and most of those companies have gone out of business and left the DC area. I think most of that is due to the...

I went running through the Wilson Blvd/W&OD Trail underpass during the great weather on Sunday afternoon and discovered that the newly restored trail was completely covered in thick mud again :(

I've had issues too lately where Strava will occasionally records negative miles for runs and rides. For example, if I go on a 3 mile run, at the end it will say that I ran -3.0 miles.

I think the Route 50 corridor between Irving St and Washington Blvd is in dire need of a project. It is very dangerous to allow the left turn movement on a high-speed street like Route 50 onto the...
