Give Your Feedback on Urban Design Guidelines for Richmond Highway on April 4 and 6

Help shape what the streets, plazas, parks and buildings may look like in the future along the Richmond Highway corridor. 

Fairfax County is working on urban design guidelines that will help to shape the corridor’s overall design, appearance and character.

Richmond Highway Urban Design Guildelines Pop-Up Studios on April 4 and 6, 2019.

Drop in anytime at two Pop-Up Studios to learn more and share your thoughts:

  • Monday, April 4 from 4 to 7 p.m.
  • Saturday, April 6 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Both pop-up events will be held at the Mount Vernon Plaza Shopping Center, 7648 Richmond Highway, Alexandria in a storefront behind McDonald’s on Fordson Road. County staff will be on-site to showcase pedestrian-friendly streetscapes and building design ideas.

These are informal events where the public can quickly pop in while out shopping or running errands.

Residents are also encouraged to take an online survey by April 23 to share their thoughts.

The final design guidelines will help to implement Embark Richmond Highway, the plan adopted last year to transform the 7.5-mile corridor. The plan aims to remake the corridor into a series of distinctive and vibrant urban neighborhoods that will be walkable, bikeable and served by a future bus rapid transit system.
