Fairfax County DOT Hosting Community Meeting on Vesper Court Trail Project

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation will be holding a community meeting on the Vesper Court Trail project this Wednesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of Wolf Trap Elementary School.

The meeting will include a presentation updating the community on the project’s development, and will conclude with a question-and-answer session. Plans for the new trail will be available for attendees to review at the meeting.

The proposed path would lead from Vesper Court to Route 7 at Spring Hill Road.

The Vesper Court Trail project is federally funded, and actually serves as just one of more than 20 components of the Tyson Metro Station Access Study (TMSAS). The TMSAS includes a series of projects like the Vesper Court Trail project that are aimed at connecting surrounding neighborhoods with the budding urban center in Tysons.

Since the arrival of Metrorail’s Silver Line with four stops in the Tysons area, the city has made walkability and bicycle access a priority, allowing those who commute to Tysons Corner on the Metro the chance to enjoy the entire town without a car.

For more information on the project or Wednesday night’s meeting, call Fairfax County DOT at 703-877-7600.
