The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) will host a second community meeting on the proposed Magarity Road walkway improvements. FCDOT staff will update attendees on scoping and design changes that have occurred since the June 2018 meeting. The meeting will be held Wednesday, Nov. 13, 2019 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. at Westgate Elementary School (cafeteria), 7500 Magarity Road in Falls Church.  

About the Project

This project will provide a continuous curb and gutter and an 8-foot-wide asphalt walkway along the south side of Magarity Road. New crosswalks across Magarity Road are proposed at Tremayne Place, Cherri Dr. and Ware Rd. Westgate School drop off/pick-up turning movements will be simplified and made safer. Several bus stops will be relocated. Several sidewalk ramps will be upgraded to current standards. A new 8-foot wide asphalt walkway will also be added in front of the Westgate School.
