Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling fully supports Senator Surovell’s bill SB 251 to convene a work group assessing pedestrian and bicycle projects not part of road widening projects. While Fairfax County has done a good job of implementing bike projects as part of repaving and widening projects, there are long lists of unfunded projects necessary to create a complete bicycle and pedestrian network. We need to build out these safe, convenient, and comfortable bike facilities if we hope to encourage more people to take short trips by bike. Among many other projects, this includes widening the overcrowded W&OD Trail and additional protected bike facilities in growing areas of the county including Tysons. Even adding shared lane markings, an inexpensive safety addition, is beyond the resources of the county and state DOT as stand-alone projects. SB 251 would provide much needed impetus and hopefully future resources for creating a better bicycling and pedestrian network.
