Fairfax County is proposing to add on-road bicycle lanes and crosswalks to a number of streets as part of the state’s annual repaving and restriping program.
Virtual meetings to gather public input on the proposed locations will be held in early November before a final list is sent to the Virginia Department of Transportation, which typically conducts paving work from April to December.
After each meeting, an online survey will be available for community members to submit comments, which will also be accepted by phone and mail for two weeks.
“By presenting the proposals well in advance of the 2027 repaving season, FCDOT aims to gather community feedback and finalize striping proposals for VDOT consideration and approval,” the Fairfax County Department of Transportation said in a press release.
