Improving the street space

Recent street enhancements in Crystal City, Pentagon City

Starting last summer, the County has been installing a variety of short-term street enhancements at multiple locations within Crystal City and Pentagon City. The changes serve as a test of how vehicles, bikes and pedestrians can better share the street space.

Enhancements included:

• New protected and buffered bike lanes along Army Navy Drive
• Newly enhanced pedestrian crossing on 20th Street South between Bell Street and Crystal Drive
• Intersection improvements on South Eads Street at 22nd Street and 23rd Street
• Continuous bike lane, with protected/buffered sections, on South Eads Street from Army Navy Drive to Glebe Road
• New green pavement markings at several locations to make walking/biking infrastructure clearer and more visible for all street users

Plans for 2018

During this year, the County plans to continue making improvements to the bike and pedestrian network in Crystal City and Pentagon City by:

• Connecting the South Eads Street bike lane to the Four Mile Run Trail 
• Adding green pavement markings throughout the neighborhoods
• Implementing walking/biking infrastructure improvements
• Other long-term capital projects that enhance transportation infrastructure – To learn more about projects planned for your neighborhood, visit the Projects & Planning website
