What Happened This Week:

(1) West Falls Church Transportation Improvements

The groundbreaking for the multimodal transportation project at Haycock/Rt 7 – West Falls Church. Remember, many of you all were instrumental in writing and testifying to NVTA to help us win the $15.7M grant – thank you!

The project helps improve walkability, bikeability, ped safety, and reduce regional congestion. Widening sidewalks, new signals, and intersection upgrades are all part of the planned improvements. This project is important for the new high school, the 10 acre economic development project, and help commuters access Metro. It’s critical to plan transportation planning early, and not as an afterthought, for the success of these projects. Like any other construction – expect that the Rt 7/Haycock area will get messy before it get better, but there will be a lot of improvements to come over the next few years.
