With the warm weather approaching, Fairfax County is holding a series of meetings to hear thoughts about active transportation in the county, and this input will be used in their Active Fairfax Transportation Plan to integrate the existing Bicycle Master and Trails Plans. Throughout April, every Supervisor’s district will have virtual public meetings to find out how county residents travel by biking, walking, rolling, hiking, running, and riding in and around the local communities.
Commuting by bike is part of the picture
According to McLean Connection, "Bruce Wright, the President of the Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling (FABB) supports the county’s trail network and is looking at linking certain parts of the network to improve ride-ability. While much work has been done in this area, there are a few spots that are unclear for a cyclist connection. “I hope that the county puts more emphasis on making these connections,” he said."
As per McLean Connection, "Officials are looking to work with transportation partners to develop a vision to help shape the future of active transportation in Fairfax County by consolidating previous active transportation planning efforts into one cohesive document that is easy-to-digest and track performance, the county officials said. Using this document, officials want to encourage livable street design and transportation network that connects and encourages people to take transit. Eventually, this plan will be used to update the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan."
