StatusIn Design
This project is currently in the concept design phase.
Public Information Update
The project team has been working since January 2022 to review public feedback received on the concept design alternatives and incorporate them into the selected concept. Recently, the team began pursuing an opportunity to coordinate this project’s concept design with other adjacent projects to improve the broader context of multimodal connections and route options within the project limits. The project team is working on revising the design of this project to reflect these changes and will be hosting a second, updated concept design engagement on the refined design in Spring 2023. Please stay tuned!

About the Project
This project will provide enhanced bike facilities along one or both sides of Army Navy Drive between South Joyce Street and South Lynn Street. The goals are to enhance the street environment and improve travel conditions for all users. This “missing link” project will extend the reach of existing bike lanes by providing a connection to the adjacent Army Navy Drive Complete Streets project, creating a continuous link to the Crystal City Bike Network.
Improvements under consideration include physical separation of the existing bike lane, reconstructing and realigning sidewalks, adding street trees, modifying crosswalks, and upgrading road striping. Together these improvements will create a safer, more accessible, and more comfortable environment for all users along Army Navy Drive.
Project basis
The Master Transportation Plan Bicycle Element calls for this segment of Army Navy Drive to be reconstructed with enhanced bike facilities, providing a safe environment for people walking, biking, using transit and driving.
Public engagement for this segment of Army Navy Drive is underway and will continue in phases through fall 2021. Prior to this project, this section of the corridor was identified as a “missing link” for enhanced bicycle facilities by members of the community during public engagement for the Army Navy Drive Complete Streets project.

Concept Design Engagement
The project team prepared two concept design alternatives for this corridor that incorporated the feedback received in the existing conditions engagement. We are currently reviewing public input collected during a public engagement on these alternatives to identify a preferred option to advance to final concept design. This engagement featured a virtual public meeting and an online feedback form.
