The Transportation and Climate Alignment Act would advance cleaner and more affordable transportation options, while making smart use of our limited public dollars. SB 59 provides a toolkit to evaluate planned transportation investments early on, and, if needed, make improvements to them by giving communities more options to connect residents to jobs and services than driving, while providing accountability on the state’s climate goals. 

Six lanes is too wide & risky for MD 214. The proposed concepts to address pedestrian safety on this segment of MD 214 are greatly disappointing and fall far short of meeting project goals.

Alexandria wants to make Braddock Road safer for people walking and biking, including children walking and biking to school, and people connecting to Metro, area trails, retail and services. Please consider speaking up in support of these needed improvements. 

We wish to express our support for HB 381 - No Turn on Red. Right Turn on Red prohibition in urban areas is a basic pedestrian safety rule. Safer streets for walking and biking are the foundation of successful main streets and downtowns. 

The Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), Sierra Club Great Falls Group, Nature Forward, Coalition for Smarter Growth, Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling and Fairfax Families for Safe Streets, as part of Fairfax Healthy Communities, are excited to see that NOVA Parks and Dominion have a new agreement to steward and restore the Washington & Old Dominion Trail’s natural resources, helping to ensure the trail remains a cherished open space for its nearly 3 million annual visitors.
