The Southern Expansion of Arlington National Cemetery is moving forward and with it, the realignment of Columbia Pike. The good news is the draft design has dedicated space for bikes and pedestrians! The bad news is the design of the intersection of Columbia Pike & Joyce St is really, really bad.

This spring, Phoenix Bikes is taking a bunch of their youth to Atlanta for the Youth Bike Summit! The summit is a great chance for youth to learn about how they can help make our community better for everyone on bikes. They’ll hear new ideas from youth all across the country and present some of their own. These kids will be the next generation of bike advocates and Phoenix could really use your help covering the cost of their attendance. Donate today to send these awesome kids to the Youth Bike Summit!

The West Glebe Road Bridge is a critical link between Arlington & Alexandria, has no bicycle facilities, and is falling apart. Arlington & Alexandria are working together to rebuild the bridge and to improve access for people walking, biking and driving. You can submit comments online. Here are our suggestions: Question A1: Choose the sidewalk & on-street bike lane option.

Question A2: Choose the photo of the separated bike lane (green paint + plastic sticks)

In the additional comments box after Question D: This bridge connection is critical and must be as safe and as low-stress as possible for bikes and pedestrians - a dedicated sidewalk and PROTECTED bike lanes. Continuing bicycle facilities to at LEAST Valley Drive would provide a huge improvement in bicycle connectivity in the area. Safe accommodations for trail traffic beneath the bridge during construction is imperative. This is a great opportunity for a road diet on this section of West Glebe Road which is not 4 lanes across anywhere else along its length. This would provide ample space for high-quality bike and pedestrian infrastructure.
