Welcome!

There are three parts to this public engagement opportunity for the Washington Boulevard 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: Washington Boulevard is part of Arlington County’s High Injury Network (2021). These corridors experience high concentrations of critical crashes compared to other corridors in Arlington.
• Crash Hot Spot - The Washington Boulevard and N. Kirkwood Road intersection is a previously identified crash hot spot for county-wide crashes.
  • Washington Boulevard High Injury Network Safety Audit – Spring 2023
  • Both pedestrian and bike crashes have decreased since 2018, with there being no bike crashes since 2020. Overall crashes decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic. The overall crashes have increased from 2021-2023, but remain below pre-pandemic levels.
