Arlington County approved a new building called the Fairview, that will include a new western entrance to the Ballston Metro. Not sure what form this entrance will take, but it would be great if it included one set of stairs instead of three escalators. The advantage being, besides cost, that stairs could accommodate bicycle channels to allow cyclists to bring their bikes in the front door and leave the elevators for people who truly need them.
The other item is that Arlington has plans to build the Washington Boulevard Trail and phase I should begin this spring or summer.
A shared use path will be constructed on the west side of Washington Boulevard generally between Walter Reed Drive and Rolfe Street S. The path will pass through Towers Park and connect the Arlington Boulevard Trail with Columbia Pike.
As one who bikes around there often, this will be a nice improvement.
