Would you feel safe riding your bike down Annandale Road right now? Imagine trying to bike with your kids or someone who’s just learning to ride—it’s not a situation we’d wish on anyone.
The current road design isn’t just uncomfortable; it’s unsafe. With wide lanes that encourage speeding, crumbling sidewalks, and bus stops that feel disconnected due to a lack of crosswalks, Annandale Road needs serious change.
But here’s the good news: you can help transform it.
Fairfax County is proposing a complete redesign of Annandale Road, from Little River Turnpike to Gallows Road. The plan is simple yet powerful: reduce the road to two car lanes, add a center-running turn lane, and—best of all—create protected bike lanes in both directions. This kind of “road diet” has been proven to calm traffic, reduce crashes, and make it easier and safer for everyone to get around, whether they’re biking, walking, or driving.
Imagine a safer Annandale Road where biking feels like an option for everyone. Where crossing the street is easy and safe. Where the sidewalk feels protected from the traffic rushing by.
This vision is within reach, but we need your help to make it happen. Take just a few minutes to complete this quick survey and tell Fairfax County you want safer streets that work for everyone.
The survey closes on October 11, 2024, so act fast!
Let’s make Annandale Road a place where biking, walking, and driving can safely coexist. Your voice matters—add it to the conversation today.
