Invitation
to October 7-9 Visioning Workshops
Arterial Transportation Management (ATM) Study
Arlington County
South Carlin Springs Road / South Four Mile Run Drive / Wilson Boulevard
Arlington County is conducting a planning study, including case studies,
to develop strategies and measures to manage transportation and improve
safety along arterial streets. Community participation is central to
this effort. Issues under consideration include safety for all users,
transit access, bicycle issues, enhancing the movement of people throughout
the County, and making streets more walkable.
For each case study,
the community process will include:
1. Visioning Workshop
- A meeting to gather input from citizens on the issues and long-term
(20-year) vision for the arterial corridor
2. Walk-Through - A walk along the corridor with citizens and County
staff
3. Concept Plan Workshop - A meeting to present findings of the analysis
and the Concept Plans for the segment to obtain feedback from the citizens
All interested residents
are invited to attend workshops on the three case study street sections
below:
- Wilson Boulevard
(From George Mason Drive to McKinley Street) - Visioning workshop
will be on Tuesday, October 7, 2003 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM at Ashlawn
School, 5950 8th Road North.
- Carlin Springs
Road (From North Kensington Street to 7th Road South) - Visioning

Drive (From Columbia Pike to Shirlington Road) - Visioning workshop

An advisory task
force, organized by the Arlington County Transportation Commission,
will guide this ATM Study. Coordinating closely with the Task Force,
the study team will accomplish the following steps:
- Research and
analyze existing national and international transportation management
practices and traffic management measures for urban arterial streets;
- Analyze traffic
patterns and long range travel forecasts to address functional classification
and capacity issues;
- Develop criteria
and design standards for a new urban street functional classification
system that considers pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular, and transit
facilities in relation to transportation goals and land use patterns;
- Provide concept
design case studies for Arlington arterial streets, including a community
process and development of preferred alternative concepts;
- Develop procedures
for a potential ATM program including process, priorities, resources,
evaluation, marketing and a tool box of measures.
Additional case
studies are anticipated in the future. If you have any questions, please
call or email Mr. Richard
Best, Project Manager at 703-228-3689 or rbest@co.arlington.va.us.
