Achieving a Sustainable Community
Smart growth has allowed Arlington to add
population while decreasing traffic volumes
Traffic on main arterials is down over 15-20 year period.

Arlington’s focus on developing high-quality transit is
moving more people without more traffic.
Transit ridership grew significantly over 19-year period but
Metro and VRE ridership have declined in recent years.

Army Navy Country Club Access Drive
New roadway connection for emergency, bicycle and pedestrian access
through an easement along the edge of the Army Navy Country Club
(p. E-76) $5.2M
• FY20/21: Planning/Design; FY22/23: Construction
Community Feedback:
4/28/16 letter from Aurora Highlands Civic Association: Given that many of our
kids may be reassigned to Hoffman-Boston during the 2019 boundary change
process, we are requesting that construction be completed by 2020
Alternate Plan:
• FY17/18: Planning/Design; FY19/20: Construction
Challenges:
• Staff availability (project management and engineering)
• Earlier implementation will likely result in other projects being delayed
