Transportation Alert:
FCDOT plans to install a high visibility crosswalk, pedestrian crossing warning signs, ADA curb ramps, Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), pedestrian refuge island, stop bar, minor sidewalk extensions and minor drainage improvements east of the intersection of Georgetown Pike and Great Falls Shopping Center. The scope also includes the removal of the right turn lane to Great Falls Library and curb extensions to reduce crossing distance since the right turn lane is not warranted based on recently obtained traffic counts. Other improvements include updated/new pavement markings and signage at the entrance to the Great Falls Library.
This project is part of Fairfax County's $100 Million allocation for active transportation projects.
FCDOT held a community meeting on the Georgetown Pike Pedestrian Improvements project at Great Falls Library on Jan. 30, at the Great Falls Grange.
Questions and comments were taken at the meeting and via survey through Feb. 14, 2025.
