A video posted on arlingtonva.us describes a planned overhaul of South Walter Drive between Columbia Pike and Fifth Street South that will add protected bike lanes on both sides of the road, upgrade pedestrian crossings, install four bus-stop islands and make stormwater utility improvements, the video says.
The presentation says the first phase will realign the intersection at South Walter Drive and 9th Street South and add a four-way traffic signal to improve connectivity and crossings. "The first part of the project will realign and add a four-way signal at the intersection of South Walter Drive and 9th Street South," the Presenter says in the recording.
The remainder of the work will transform the road up to Fifth Street South to tie into sidewalk improvements completed in 2022 and extend multimodal facilities along the corridor. The video also states the project team is coordinating with the Arlington Public Schools Grace Hopper Center. The presentation gives a target completion year of 2027.
The recording directs residents to arlingtonva.us for more information and instructs viewers to search for the South Walter Drive project page for updates.
