Project next steps include refining improvements based on feedback and selecting projects for implementation.
Southrun Road-2016 VDOT Repaving: Complete Streets-Improving Multimodal MobilityFairfax County
The document discusses proposed repaving and restriping of Southrun Road in Fairfax County, Virginia to accommodate bicyclists by adding bike lanes. It describes the existing conditions of Southrun Road and segments where bike lanes are proposed between Silverbrook Road and Pohick Road.

Community members were invited to provide feedback to help guide the next steps of the study.
The document proposes a bikeway project to connect the Dunn Loring-Merrifield Metro station to the Mosaic and Inova Hospital areas. The project would be split into three sections using different bicycle facilities like shared lane markings and buffered bike lanes. Feedback is requested on the proposed plan which includes installing these facilities and conducting a "lane diet" to reallocate space for bicyclists. Subject to community and design review, construction is aimed to be completed by June 2018.
Reston Network Analysis: Transportation Advisory Commission: July 19, 2016 Fairfax County
This document summarizes a study conducted by the Fairfax County Department of Transportation on the transportation network in Reston, Virginia. The study analyzed the existing transportation conditions and forecasted future conditions in 2030 and 2050. It evaluated a proposed grid of streets and recommended mitigation measures to improve traffic flow. The analysis found that without mitigation, 24 intersections would operate at unacceptable levels of service in 2050. The recommended 1st tier mitigation measures like signal timing optimization and additional turn lanes reduced this to 13 intersections. The 2nd tier measures such as adding through lanes and turn lanes further reduced problems to 10 intersections. The study recommends further analysis of specific intersections and developing a phasing plan for improvements.
Design Public Hearing Presentation for Wiehle Avenue at W&OD TrailFairfax County
The document summarizes a public hearing presentation for a proposed project to grade separate the W&OD Trail from Wiehle Avenue in Fairfax County, Virginia.

Bi-County Parkway: Evaluation of Impacts on Fairfax County RoadsFairfax County
This document from the Fairfax County Department of Transportation evaluates the impacts of building or not building the proposed Bi-County Parkway on Fairfax County roads. It provides background on the project, noting its evolution from the Tri-County Parkway and its intended purpose to improve north-south connections. Traffic forecasts from 2013 predict the parkway would attract some traffic from parallel roads like Gum Springs Road but have only minor benefits for roads in Fairfax County. It concludes that while some parallel roads may see reduced traffic, the overall volume on the parkway represents additional trips rather than diversions.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed.

Christian persecution in Islamic countries has intensified, with alarming incidents of violence, discrimination, and intolerance. This article highlights recent attacks in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, exposing the multifaceted challenges faced by Christian communities. Despite the severity of these atrocities, the Western world's response remains muted due to political, economic, and social considerations. The urgent need for international intervention is underscored, emphasizing that without substantial support, the future of Christianity in these regions is at grave risk.

Less dedicated space and comfort
7. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Bicycle Facility Types
Sharrow-Shared Lane Markings (SLMs), or “sharrows,” are road
markings used to indicate a shared lane environment for bicycles and
automobiles. Among other benefits shared lane markings reinforce the
legitimacy of bicycle traffic on the street, recommend proper bicyclist
positioning, and may be configured to offer directional and wayfinding
guidance
8. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Bicycle Facility Types
Striped Shoulder-Creates dedicated space to be used by people
bicycling. 3’-4’ in width, but not the full width of a bike lane (5’). Added
benefit of creating additional buffer space between vehicles and people
walking on the sidewalk.
9. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Bicycle Facility Types
Bike Lane-Bike lanes designate an exclusive space for bicyclists through
the use of pavement markings and signage. The bike lane is located
adjacent to motor vehicle travel lanes and flows in the same direction
as motor vehicle traffic.
10. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Bicycle Facility Types
Climbing Lane-A climbing lane
incorporates two different facilities on
the same roadway segment; a bike lane
is provided in the uphill direction to
accommodate slower moving bicyclists
and a sharrow is provided in the
downhill direction, where bicyclists can
typically travel at a speed closer to
motorists.
11. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Bicycle Facility Types
Buffered Bike Lane-Buffered bike lanes are conventional bicycle lanes
paired with a designated buffer space separating the bicycle lane from
the adjacent motor vehicle travel lane and/or parking lane.
12. County of Fairfax, Virginia
Lane Diets
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
12
A Lane Diet is generally described as narrowing travel
lanes from a roadway and utilizing the space for other
uses and travel modes.
Does not involve reducing the number of travel lanes
Benefits
◦Providing transportation alternatives and options
◦Increasing safety for non-motorized users
◦Reduce speeding

•Removing travel lanes from a roadway and
reallocating the space for other uses
•Rule of thumb: Roads with less than 20,000 vehicles
