Regional Bicycle & Pedestrian Priorities

In December 2002, the TPB endorsed a list of nine Bike/Ped projects as regional priorities. These projects will be forwarded to local and state jurisdictions with the recommendation that they should be funded in the FY 2004-09 Transportation Improvement Program. The nine priority projects are:

  • Metropolitan Branch Trail (D.C.) stretching 7.7 miles from Union Station to Silver Spring, parallel to the Red Line of the Metro.
  • Matthew Henson Trail (Montgomery County) running four miles from Rock Creek Trail to the Northwest Branch Park.
  • Henson Creek Trail (Prince George's County) extending north and south of the existing trail.
  • Holmes Run Stream Crossing (Alexandria) connecting the north and south ends of Chambliss Street at the Holmes Run Trail. Regionally, the trail crossing will connect to Fairfax County's Stream Valley Trail System.
  • Pentagon Area Bicycle Access Improvements Study (Arlington County), including the East Wall of Arlington Cemetery, which provide access to the Route 110 Trail, the Washington Boulevard Trail, the Mount Vernon Trail and Boundary Drive.
  • Route 1 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Improvements (Fairfax County) including sidewalk, pedestrian crossing, and other pedestrian safety improvements.
  • Centreville Road Underpass at Dulles Airport Access Road (Herndon) connecting the existing sidewalk networks in Fairfax County and the Town of Herndon.
  • Trail construction parallel to Loudoun County Parkway (Loudoun) from Route 7 to Waxpool Road, a distance of 4.4 miles.
  • Trail construction along Dumfries Road (Prince William County), 1.2 miles from the Lake Jackson Drive intersection to the Prince William Parkway West intersection.
