Welcome!

There are three parts to this public engagement opportunity for the Shirlington Resurfacing for Complete Streets Project:

  1. Project Location and Existing Conditions
    • We will define the project area and show you what is there today.
  2. Questions About Your Experiences
    • On this page, we have four questions for you about how you use this intersection and your experiences while traveling here.
  3. Interactive Map
    • You will be able to add your notes to specific locations within the project area. Your more detailed experiences will help the project team develop a conceptual design for the project.

This engagement opportunity is open through November 12. Your experiences will help inform the development of the concept plan, along with other available information, such as plan guidance and crash data. Thank you for helping improve our projects to better meet your needs!

Project Basis

Planning guidance from this project comes from the following County Board-adopted plans and policies

Master Transportation Plan

  • Streets Element: The Complete Street policy informs the scope of this project to improve safety for all road users.

Vision Zero

Vision Zero policies call on County Transportation staff to take a proactive approach to safety to eliminate severe and fatal crashes from our transportation network by 2030.

  • High Injury Network: The intersection of Shirlington Road and S. Four Mile Run Drive is part of Arlington County’s High Injury Network (2021). This intersection experiences high concentrations of critical crashes compared to other corridors in Arlington. 
    • Four Mile Run Drive High Injury Network Safety Audit – Spring 2022 
    • While Shirlington Road is not part of the high injury network, Shirlington Road has a history of crashes involving pedestrians and property damage, as well as alcohol-involved crashes.
  • Crash Hot Spots: The intersection of Shirlington Road & S. Four Mile Run Drive was identified as crash hot spot in 2019 for bicycle crashes. 

The Green Valley (formerly Nauck Village Center) Action Plan (2004) recommends establishing Shirlington Road as a vital multimodal corridor with improved pedestrian and transit access.

The Four Mile Run Valley Area Plan (2018) emphasizes improvements to the intersection of Shirlington Road and Four Mile Run Drive.
