It seems that getting a bicycle coordinator for a locality is the first step in improving bicycle transportation in the area. Fairfax recently got funding for a bicycle coordinator, and WABA is working to get one assigned to Prince George's County. Alexandria has had one but now they have a new one, Yon Lambert (see Photo).
One of [his] new initiatives is studying ways to improve pedestrian access to transit facilities. “The city got a grant from VDOT to look at how we can improve access to transit facilities for pedestrians in general and persons with mobility challenges specifically,” Lambert said.
He is also planning improvements to the website. “We need to keep people better informed about bicycle and pedestrian improvements,” Lambert said.
Sounds like they could take a page from Arlington.
