The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) announced yesterday that a series of meetings over the next month will cover plans to add new bike lanes and marked crosswalks around the county.
According to FCDOT, the restriping is scheduled for next year’s repaving season, which typically begins in the spring and ends in November.
“The proposed striping improvements are planned to coincide with the Virginia Department of Transportation’s (VDOT) 2026 Repaving Program,” the release said. “FCDOT is sharing these proposals well in advance of the 2026 repaving season to allow ample time for community input, finalizing striping plans and improving coordination with VDOT.”
