Arlington Boulevard Trail Study - Concept Design Alternatives
Arlington Boulevard Trail Study - Concept Design Alternatives
The Arlington Boulevard Trail is a regional, primarily off-street multi-use trail that parallels Arlington Boulevard (US Route 50). As part of the Adopted Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Fiscal Years 2022 – 2024, the County Board requested an engineering / feasibility study for the Arlington Boulevard Multi-Use Trail from Jackson Street to George Mason Drive, inclusive of Glebe Road, to inform a future CIP.
As part of this effort, the project team has developed concept design alternatives for the study corridor. We are now seeking your input on these concepts to inform a final concept that will be advanced to design and construction.
