Take Action for a Better Arlington

Virginia Hospital Center has proposed a new Health Wellness & Behavioral Health Facility on Carlin Springs Road.  This excellent new facility needs to do its part to support non-car travel, or it will cause further congestion on an already car-heavy corridor.

Arlington's Vision Zero Team is making some much-needed updates to our Vision Zero plan to help us achieve zero deaths and serious injuries on our streets by 2030.  The draft update doubles down on what's been working, and makes needed course corrections to improve efficiencies and focus on areas that need new approaches to succeed. We think the draft plan update deserves your strong support, and encourage you to share that support via the county's feedback form.

Arlington's Neighborhood Complete Streets program is a data-driven, community-driven approach to improving safety and mobility on Arlington's Neighborhood streets. Four common-sense sidewalk projects are on deck to move forward.  These projects seem so straightforward and basic - largely filling gaps in existing sidewalks, adding a sidewalk where none exist, or circumventing obstructions in existing sidewalks - that it doesn't seem like they merit an engagement process.  Nonetheless, if you have the time it is worth clicking through the online form to express your support for these projects that bring our streets up to the bare minimum pedestrian facility.

The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) controls billions of dollars in transportation funding for Northern Virginia.  It is currently accepting feedback on the 27 projects submitted by the various jurisdictions for some of this money.  Arlington has submitted 13 projects (the most they have ever submitted) - it is unlikely that all will be funded, so it is critical that we support the most important and worthy projects at the NVTA.
