Recap
Concept design as of last CPIT meeting
Feedback since last meeting
– Your comments — thank you!
– Additional meetings with civic associations
– “Back of curb” considerations
Response: Modified concept design
Your feedback is requested tonight on revised design
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Project Vision and Objectives
Vision: Near-term implementation of a complete street thatachieves an appropriate balance of travel modes and thatsupports future high-quality, high-frequency transit service
Objectives:– Build on Street Space Planning Task Force recommendations
– Coordinate with many other on-going efforts
– Provide a complete street design to meet Arlington, VDOT, andFHWA approvals
– Complete a multimodal transportation analysis
– Complete necessary environmental studies and NEPAdocumentation
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Complete StreetDesigned and operated to enable safe,attractive, and comfortable access and travelfor all users:
– Pedestrians
– Bicyclists
– Transit riders
– Motorists
More livable, safer, accessible
Elements:– Wider sidewalks
– Minimized crossing distances
– Bicycle accommodations

CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Design of Street Space
Build on Street Space Planning TaskForce recommendations
Provide street design to meetArlington, VDOT, and FHWAapprovals
Coordinate with many other on-going efforts
Design for all modes
Attain 56-ft curb face to curb face“cartway” dimension

Analysis Methodologies
Study years: 2010, 2018, 2038
Consideration of programmed improvements
Traffic volume projections
– MWCOG travel demand model
– Traffic volumes for study years
Intersection capacity analysis vehicle level ofservice (LOS)
Street segment analysis multimodal LOS (MMLOS)

Existing MMLOS: Observed Trends
Average auto service
Functionally great transit service
Average pedestrian service
Poor bicycle service

Bike Boulevards
What are they?
What do they look like?
Why here?
Who benefits?
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Bike Boulevards: What are they?Attractive, convenient, and safe alternative routes to busy, congested arterials fornon-motorized users (i.e, bikes and peds)
– Optimized for bicycle travel
– Can also provide significant safety benefits for pedestrians, transit users, and even cars
Design of each bike boulevard is unique – customized to its specific location andsituation, BUT…
All bike boulevards share a set of similar characteristics:– “Shared” roadways
– Low traffic volume (w/significantly reduced cut through traffic)
– Low speeds
– Reduced delay for cyclists
– Well-marked routes and directional signage
– Convenient access to destinations
– Comfortable, safe intersection crossings (for cyclists and pedestrians)
– Maintains local vehicular access to properties
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
What do they look like?Mix and match parts working togetherto create a bike boulevard
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Why here?• Columbia Pike is a busy arterial roadway• Fairly continuous parallel streets close-by• Good connectivity back to Columbia Pike• Low traffic volumes w/minimal cut-through• Low traffic speeds• First phase of a larger network of alternate routes
CPIT Meeting – April 26, 2011
Who benefits?•• BicyclistsBicyclists traveling east-west along the Pike and
those going north to Clarendon, Courthouse, andRosslyn
•• PedestriansPedestrians going to and from the library, careercenter, and Patrick Henry and Randolph Elementaryschools
•• Transit ridersTransit riders (ART & Metro) along Glebe Road,S. George Mason Drive, and S. Walter Reed Drive
