Columbia Pike Multimodal Improvements

Scope:

– Multimodal street improvements – Environmental documentation and preliminary design – Length of Columbia Pike in Arlington

Modified street cross section to include:

– Reconfigured travel lanes – Reconfigured left turn lanes – On-street parking – Wider sidewalks – Enhanced pedestrian crossings – Landscaped median areas – Street trees

Balancing competing needs in street

Arlington MTP Complete Streets Goal: Provide measures that enhance the safety and efficiency of travel by all modes through a balanced approach to the design and

  • peration of the arterial

street in context with its surrounding land use Context-sensitive Design for Major Urban Thoroughfares

NEPA Approach

Multimodal Street Modifications

Improve pedestrian/bicycle safety and transit access Evaluate new right-of-way VDOT/FHWA requirements Some increase in roadway capacity Screening-level air quality/noise analyses

Transit Initiative (2004 Alternatives Analysis)

Improve level of corridor transit service Use “existing” right-of-way FTA requirements Increased transit capacity Operational air quality/noise analyses Careful definition of the proposed project purpose and need
