Public Input Sought for Route 7 Transit Options

King Street, Leesburg Pike, Broad Street, Route 7. Whatever you call this major roadway in Northern Virginia, Envision Route 7 is designed to identify the best transit option for the 14-mile corridor between Tysons Corner and the City of Alexandria.

Such an option would accommodate future growth, connect people and businesses to economic opportunity and improve mobility, according to the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission.

At three public meetings in November, the commission will share ridership and cost projections for three modes – light rail, bus rapid transit and enhanced bus service – and provide additional details on the alignments under consideration. Public comment is encouraged.
