N Sycamore Street Complete Streets Project

Status

In Design

Project Location

North Sycamore Street between Langston Boulevard and 19th Street North in the East Falls Church neighborhood.

Status

The County is developing a final concept plan based on plan guidance, corridor data, coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and community feedback.

About the Project

North Sycamore Street presents intersection crossing challenges for bicyclists and pedestrians. Recommendations along this street were included in the 2011 East Falls Church Area Plan. The 2019 adopted Bicycle Element of the Master Transportation Plan recommends North Sycamore Street as an enhanced bicycle facility between Williamsburg Boulevard and the East Falls Church line. In the same year, the County received another TLC grant to study a major gap in the Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD) trail-rail in East Falls Church. Read the final report. This project may include interim solutions, where feasible, to improve the crossing at 19^th Street North. In the FY22 adopted CIP, funding sources were identified to improve bicycle and pedestrian access. More information: East Falls Church Planning at a Glance

This project will be coordinating with:

• Washington Boulevard Intersection Signal Project
• East Falls Church Metro Bus Bay Expansion Project

• Crossman Run Stormwater Improvements Project
