Washington Street On-Road Bicycle Facility TransitAdditional Considerations for Bicycle and Pedestrian ImprovementsThe study area has a relatively rich network <strong>of</strong> on- and <strong>of</strong>f-street bicycle and pedestrianaccommodations. The Custis Trail is one <strong>of</strong> the most heavily used trails in the Washington,D.C. region for commuters, as evidenced by the bicycle count data shown in the existing conditionssection <strong>of</strong> this study. An enhanced sidepath along U.S. 50/Arlington Boulevard linkingthe City <strong>of</strong> Fairfax to the Rosslyn Ballston corridor in Arlington County could provide similarfunctionality for travelers coming from the south. Furthermore, Fairfax County is exploring thepossibility <strong>of</strong> extending the Custis Trail west along I-<strong>66</strong>, which could considerably expand thecatchment area and ridership for this important and heavily used trail system.Care must be exercised to ensure that any improvements to any aspect <strong>of</strong> the transportationsystem consider the impacts to bicycle and pedestrian accommodation. For example, adding athird lane to I-<strong>66</strong> may mean that at least some sections <strong>of</strong> the Custis Trail must be rebuilt at thesame grade as the roadway for right-<strong>of</strong>-way and slope reasons. This may ameliorate some <strong>of</strong>the topographical challenges presented by the current trail alignment as the reconstructed trail3-96 I-<strong>66</strong> <strong>Multimodal</strong> <strong>Study</strong>
