Wilson Boulevard & N. Livingston Street Intersection Safety Project
StatusIn Design
The project team is gathering feedback on your experiences with the existing intersection. This will be used to develop a concept design along with our design toolkit, operational data and field observations.
About the Project
In Spring 2025, County transportation initiated this project to address current and future transportation operations at the intersection of Wilson Blvd and N. Livingston Street. This review follows County Board action to adopt land use changes at 6045 Wilson Boulevard, as well as a State of Good Repair project for the traffic signal serving the pedestrian crossing at Powhatan Springs Park. This will include:
- A traffic signal warrant analysis for the intersection
- Field observations
- Safety and operations data analysis
- Transit operations analysis
This information will be used to develop recommendations for the intersection and adjacent street and sidewalks that will achieve the goals of the project and deliver on the goals of County Board-adopted transportation guidance.
Project Goals
- Improve intersection safety for people walking, biking, taking transit and driving in this key commercial and residential corridor
- Update bus stop and ramps to meet most recent accessibility standards
- Reduce conflicts between transit vehicles serving transit stops and people biking on Wilson Blvd
- Address other safety and operational issues identified through observation and public engagement
Planning Basis
Planning guidance from this project comes from the following County Board-adopted plans and policies:
Master Transportation Plan
- Streets Element:
- The County’s Complete Streets Policy informs the scope of this project to improve safety for all road users, including people walking, biking, taking transit and driving. Wilson Boulevard is a principal arterial street.
- Bicycle Element
- This segment of Wilson Boulevard is designated as a primary bicycling corridor.
- Transit Strategic Plan
- Wilson Blvd is included in the primary transit network map.
Vision Zero Action Plan
- Calls for Capital Projects to address safety issues that can lead to severe and fatal crashes as part of the Countywide effort to eliminate severe injuries and fatalities from our transportation network by 2030.
Regional Transit Network
- This segment of Wilson Boulevard is served by WMATA regional transit services including the 1A/1B (Future A58, F60, F61) connecting Arlington and Fairfax Counties.
Summer 2025 - Existing Conditions Engagement
In June 2025, the project team is hosting a public engagement opportunity to gather feedback on how people experience the intersection and adjacent area. Using the online feedback form, you can share your experiences using the existing pedestrian crossings, bus stop, and travel lanes across both Wilson Boulevard and N. Livingston Street, as well as the pedestrian signal between Powhatan Springs Park and the Dominion Hills Centre.
Online Feedback Form
This online feedback form will now be open through July 20, 2025. Once complete, the project team will review the feedback we receive and prepare a summary of what we heard. We'll use this feedback alongside our planning guidance, design standards, operational data and field observations to develop a preliminary concept design for the intersection.
We'll bring this preliminary concept back for public engagement later this year for your feedback.
Funding
This capital project is funded by the County's Capital Improvement Program using local funds.
