Sleepy Hollow Road Walkway Community Meeting Archive

The following information was compiled from previous community meetings related to the Sleepy Hollow Walkway project.

Fairfax County continues to submit the project plans to VDOT for review and acceptance to ensure the project meets all applicable design standards for work within the public right of way. The latest project plans are provided below which were submitted to VDOT on May 3, 2021. The project scope remains unchanged from the concept presented in the April 2019 public meeting.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) held a public information meeting on the Sleepy Hollow Walkway Project on Monday, April 22, 2019, 6:30 p.m., at the Mason District Governmental Center in Annandale.

FCDOT recently completed the latest revisions to the plans for the Sleepy Hollow Road Walkway project.

The latest revision incorporates many of the comments received from the public including the following:

  • The width of the walkway in the vicinity of Dearborn Drive and Valley Brook Drive will be reduced from 8’ to 6’.  The proposed grass buffer width will be reduced from 4’ to 2’.  In addition to the sidewalk and buffer width reduction, the sidewalk will be moved into the existing parking lane to limit impacts to private property, and reduce tree loss.
  • Two of three retaining walls, previously shown in April 2018, have been removed from the latest plan.
  • Sidewalk will be added south of Malbrook Drive to tie-in with the sidewalk proposed by the Glavis Property development plan.
  • Between Marlo Drive and the Congressional School Entrance, the parking lane will be removed and the travel lanes will be narrowed to allow the proposed sidewalk to be shifted towards the roadway. This change was made to limit impacts to private property and minimize tree loss.  There will be no change to the traffic pattern in this area, only lane width adjustments.
  • Additional pedestrian crossing points will be proposed at the Congressional School Entrance and Carolyn Drive.
  • The width of the sidewalk between Holmes Run Road and Aspen Lane will be reduced from 7’ to 6’.
