Bike Lanes Proposed On Parts Of Cottage Street, Wolf Trap Road

DUNN LORING, VA — Restriping plans have been proposed around Fairfax County, including areas close to the Town of Vienna, during 2022 repaving.

The Virginia Department of Transportation repaves hundreds of Fairfax County roads each year. The Fairfax County Department of Transportation coordinates with VDOT during repaving and restriping to implement measures for traffic safety and enhanced transportation options. The 2022 paving work will take place between April and November. Exact dates will be available 10 days before work starts, and "no parking" signs will be posted.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation will hold virtual meetings on its restriping proposals in April. The proposals near Vienna are in the Providence District in Dunn Loring and Tysons.

On Cottage Street, bike lanes are proposed "where possible" between Gallows Road and Cedar Lane, according to the Fairfax County Department of Transportation. This portion of Cottage Street has one travel lane in each direction with turn lanes at Gallows Road and Cedar Lane. Travel lanes and parking lanes would be narrowed, but existing legal on-street parking will remain.

Bike lanes are also proposed for Wolf Trap Road between Gallows Road and the end of the road at the parkland. This area is near Kilmer Middle School and has one travel lane in each direction with on-street parking on parts. Existing travel lanes and parking lanes would be narrowed, but parking would be maintained.

Other nearby changes include upgrades to crosswalks at Madrillon Road at Boss Street in Tysons, Madrillon Road at Merry Oaks Lane in Tysons, Stonewall Drive at Shenandoah Street in Dunn Loring, Wolftrap Road at Wolftrap Court in Tysons, and Hibbard Street at Chain Bridge Road in Oakton.

There are no restriping changes proposed in the Hunter Mill and Dranesville Districts, which cover other Vienna addresses outside town limits.

The Providence District meeting will be held Monday, April 19 at 7 p.m. Join through Microsoft Teams or dial in by phone at 571-429-5982 with conference ID 556 585 990#. A video recording will be provided after the meeting.

Comments on restriping proposals can be provided through May 3 to the Fairfax County Department of Transportation.

Comments on any road maintenance issues such as signage or road repairs should be directed to VDOT.
