FABB encourages local riders to attend the City of Fairfax’s University Drive Bicycle Facilities Project Open House on Wednesday, December 6, at 7:00 pm at the Old Town Hall at 3999 University Drive.
The Open House is great chance to learn more about the project and share ideas from a rider’s perspective on the project’s preliminary design plans.
In 2020, the City of Fairfax adopted the Old Town and Northfax Small Area Plans, both of which included a vision for a multimodal “spine” on University Drive that would connect the Old Town and Northfax activity centers.
The city has developed a preliminary concept for bicycle and pedestrian improvements on a segment of the “spine” in these activity centers that includes bicycle and pedestrian improvements on the segment of University Drive between South Street and Layton Hall Drive.
The city applied for, and received, federal Transportation Alternatives funding to implement this concept, which will fund 80% of the project ($914,745). The remaining 20% ($228,686) is funded by the city.

Don’t miss this chance to Speak Up! for better bicycling and the best bicycling facilities possible.
