Info

Bicycle Network The well-travelled Washington and Old Dominion (W&OD) bike trail runs from Purcellville to Alexandria and traverses Falls Church, entering the city near the West Falls Church station, approximately two miles from the redevelopment area. The W&OD trail crosses over Route 7, which provides bicycle commuters coming from the west with an easy 2-mile trip from the trail to the site. Bicycle commuters coming from the east can exit the trail at North Sycamore Street less than one mile from the site. Shown in Figure 2.8, Falls Church also has a local bicycle route, which connects to regional trails, though the existing route does not travel to the study area. Several transit providers encourage connections between bicycling and riding transit by providing bicycle storage and transporting bicycles. Both Metrorail and Metrobus accommodate bicycles. Bikes may be taken onto Metrorail cars except for weekdays during peak hours and during special events or holidays with large crowds. All Metrobuses are equipped with two bike racks each, and bikes are permitted on buses during peak periods as well. The East Falls Church Metro station has bike racks, which are free and available on a firstcome, first-served basis, and lockers that may be rented for $70 annually. ART buses are also equipped with bike racks, which are free of charge for transit riders to use when bringing bikes on the buses. 25
