Countywide Bicycle Transportation Plan Burke - Springfield Open House

THIS MEETING IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR INPUT, YOU COUNT! This meeting covers Braddock, Burke, Franconia, Springfield, Newington, Lake Accotink, Lorton, Ft. Belvoir North Area, and Kingstowne. This is the first ever county bike planning process and will guide bicycle transportation infrastructure in the coming decades. Please bring your self and your ideas:

    What streets and roads need to be bicycle-friendly? Where should there be on-road bike lanes, off-road trails, and/or other approaches? Where are the difficult or unsafe locations to bicycle? How can cycling be made safer for young people or novice cyclists? How can cycling for short trips, like running errands, shopping, or going to the park or playground be made more attractive?
