The Alexandria City Council will be voting on the Duke Street In Motion project this coming Tuesday, June 27. The project Advisory Group, representing a diverse mix of corridor stakeholders, last month voted overwhelmingly to recommend dedicated center-running bus lanes and improved walking and biking facilities as the best option to improve Duke St for all users. Council needs to hear from you, that you support this recommendation for a safer and truly multimodal Duke Street.

Technical analysis of the Concept A center-running bus lanes design shows this would have by far the greatest benefits in terms of travel time, reliability, safety, and ridership out of the three alternatives studied – and for all modes of travel. The study also shows we can have improved, wider sidewalks and a separated cycle track where currently feasible, along the length of the corridor.

Thank you for all you do for Alexandria and our region,
