The City of Falls Church is developing a Pedestrian, Bicycle and Traffic Calming Strategic Implementation Plan, it was announced this week. Earlier this year, the City hosted an interactive online tool to receive citizen input for this plan. The results have been tallied and summarized and the data collection is expected to be completed by the end of this year.

Community meetings will be scheduled this winter spring, with additional comments being taken by Wendy Block Sanford via email at City Hall. The plan will create a well-connected walkway system, afford accessibility for pedestrians, provide safe streets and crossings, promote a culture of walking and biking, identify continuous sustained funding, tools and leadership for implementing pedestrian and bicycle programs.
