Arlington County, Virginia ARLINGTON COUNTY, VIRGINIA County Board Agenda Item Meeting of June 15, 2013 DATE: June 4, 2013 SUBJECT: Request to authorize Advertisement of a Public Hearing to consider an Amendment to Chapter 14.2 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic), Section 14.2-12(A), of the Code of Arlington County, Virginia, Concerning Maximum and Minimum Speed Limits along Portions of North Meade Street, Clarendon Boulevard, Wilson Boulevard, North Sycamore Street, I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway), and I-66 (Custis Memorial Parkway). C. M. RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the Advertisement of a July 13, 2012, public hearing to enact an Ordinance to Amend, Reenact and Recodify Chapter 14.2 (Motor Vehicles and Traffic), Section 14.2- 12(A), of the Code of Arlington County, Virginia, Concerning Maximum and Minimum Speed Limits by Decreasing the Speed Limit along Portions of North Meade Street, Clarendon Boulevard, Wilson Boulevard, and North Sycamore Street, and by Correcting the Speed Limit along Portions of I-66 (Custis Memorial Parkway) and I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway). ISSUES: As part of the regular process, the County Board is being requested to authorize the advertisement of a public hearing concerning a proposed amendment to the County Code. There are no outstanding issues. SUMMARY: The State Code authorizes local governing bodies to enact and enforce ordinances to increase or decrease the speed limits within its boundaries, provided such increase or decrease is based upon a traffic engineering investigation. The Department of Environmental Services, Division of Transportation has conducted studies on the following streets: 1. North Meade Street from Arlington Boulevard to Marshall Drive (formerly Jackson Avenue) 2. Clarendon Boulevard from Washington Boulevard to North Oak Street 3. Wilson Boulevard from Route 110 (Jefferson Davis Highway) to Washington Boulevard County Manager: ##### 21. County Attorney: County Attorney: *****County Manager Staff: Patricia Bush, Department of Environmental Services 4. North Sycamore Street from Washington Boulevard to 17th Street North and North Roosevelt Street from 17th Street North to the County line The results of studies for North Meade Street, Clarendon Boulevard, and Wilson Boulevard indicate that the speed limit on these sections of streets can be decreased by five miles per hour, from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. The results of the study North Sycamore Street/North Roosevelt Street indicate that the speed limit should be a consistent 30 miles per hour. A discrepancy in speed limits exists as reflected in the records of the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and the County Code on the following streets within Arlington: 5. I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway) – regular and HOV lanes 6. I-66 (Custis Memorial Highway) VDOT records indicate that the speed limit of I-395 regular lanes from the Alexandria line to the District of Columbia line is 55 miles per hour. VDOT records indicate that the speed limit on the I-395 HOV lanes within Arlington as being 65 miles per hour from the Alexandria line to 1.37 miles north of Quaker Lane (MP 7.8) and 55 miles per hour from 1.37 miles north of Quaker Lane (MP 7.8) to the District of Columbia line. VDOT records indicate that the speed limit on I- 66 from the Virginia State Line to the Ramp to North Lynn Street is 45 miles per hour, and that the speed limit from the Ramp to North Lynn Street to the Fairfax County Line is 55 miles per hour. County Code would be changed to reflect the actual speed limits. BACKGROUND: As part of the Streets Element of the Master Transportation Plan, a policy was established to design streets to generally favor lower vehicle speeds without impeding or diverting existing vehicle volumes. One of the implementation actions for that policy is the adoption of 25 miles per hour as the standard speed limit for all arterial streets within Arlington’s “downtown” districts on which there are high volumes of pedestrian crossings and higher density land development. Wilson Boulevard and Clarendon Boulevard fall within this category of streets. In addition, the Master Transportation Plan calls for speed limits on other arterial street outside of “downtown” areas to be reviewed. North Sycamore Street/North Roosevelt Street and North Meade Street fall within this category of streets. Speed limits are determined by ordinance based upon a traffic engineering investigation, in accordance with Section 46.2-1300 A.1 of the Code of Virginia and Section 14.2-12 of the County Code. A review of the County Code revealed a discrepancy between VDOT records and the County Code regarding the speed limit along I-395 within Arlington. The review also revealed that the speed limits for I-66 were not listed in the County Code. As I-395 and I-66 are maintained by the state, establishment of speed limits is the responsibility of VDOT. DISCUSSION: The Department of Environmental Services, Division of Transportation has conducted engineering studies on four arterial streets in Arlington. These studies compiled data on speed, collisions, traffic volumes, pedestrian and bicyclist activity, adjacent land uses and development patterns, and roadway characteristics. The data were then evaluated to determine if the existing speed limit was appropriate, or if it could be changed. These engineering studies - 2 - formed the basis of staff’s recommendation to amend the code to lower the speed limits. The civic associations adjacent to these four street segments have been notified of the proposed speed limit changes. As I-395 and I-66 are maintained by VDOT, responsibility for establishing the speed limits on those streets rests with the state. State streets are included in the County Code to allow for flexibility in enforcement of the speed limits. 1. North Meade Street North Meade Street between Arlington Boulevard and Marshall Drive (formerly Jackson Avenue) was evaluated to determine if the current speed limit of 30 mph could be changed. For evaluation purposes, the street was broken into two segments. Speed and volume data were gathered in June 2012. Collisions from January 2009 thru December 2011 were reviewed. Bicycle and pedestrian counts were gathered in June 2010 as part of the Meade Street Bridge Alternatives Study. Based on all factors considered, the study indicated that the speed limit could be decreased from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. New speed limit signs will be placed in accordance with the MUTCD. 2. Clarendon Boulevard The entire length of Clarendon Boulevard, from North Oak Street to Washington Boulevard, was evaluated to determine if the current speed limit of 30 mph could be changed. For evaluation purposes, the street was divided into two segments based on roadway and roadside characteristics. Speed and volume data were gathered in May 2013. Collisions from January 2010 through December 2012 were reviewed. Bicycle and pedestrian counts at signalized intersections were gathered in July 2011 as part of turning movement counts for signal optimization. Based on all factors considered, the study indicated that the speed limit could be decreased from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. New speed limit signs will be placed in accordance with the MUTCD. 3. Wilson Boulevard Wilson Boulevard between Route 110 (Jefferson Davis Highway) and Washington Boulevard was evaluated to determine if the current speed limit of 30 mph could be changed. For evaluation purposes, the street was divided into three segments based on roadway and roadside characteristics. Speed and volume data were gathered in May 2013. Collisions from January 2010 thru December 2012 were reviewed. Bicycle and pedestrian counts at signalized intersections were gathered in July 2011 as part of turning movement counts for signal optimization. Based on all factors considered, the study indicated that the speed limit could be decreased from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. New speed limit signs will be placed in accordance with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). 4. North Sycamore Street/North Roosevelt Street North Sycamore Street/North Roosevelt Street between Washington Boulevard (Route 237) and Arlington’s border with Falls Church was evaluated to determine if a uniform speed limit could be established. Currently the speed limit of the segment of North Sycamore Street between Washington Boulevard and 19th Street North and the segment between 19th Street North and 17th Street North is 35 mph, while the speed limit of the segment between 17th Street North and the County line is 30mph. Speed and volume data were gathered in December 2012. Collisions from January 2010 thru December 2012 were reviewed. Bicycle and pedestrian counts were - 3 - gathered at signalized intersections in March 2011 as part of turning movement counts for signal optimization. Based on all factors considered, the study indicated that a uniform speed limit of 30 mph could be implemented and that the speed limit on North Sycamore Street from Washington Boulevard to 17th Street North can be decreased from 35 miles per hour to 30 miles per hour. New speed limit signs will be placed in accordance with the MUTCD. 5. I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway) I-395 (Henry G. Shirley Memorial Highway) runs from Arlington’s border with Alexandria to Virginia’s border with the District of Columbia at the 14th Street Bridge. This section contains separated HOV lanes in addition to the regular lanes. As I-395 is maintained by VDOT, they have the responsibility to establish speed limits along the road. The County Code contains speed limits established along State roads so that violators may be charged under either the State or County Code provisions. It was recently determined that the County Code contains different speed limits for I-395 HOV and regular lanes sections than the speed limits established by VDOT.

  • Fy 2021 Adopted Capital Improvement Plan
    FY 2021 ADOPTED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN Arlington will be a diverse and inclusive world-class urban community with secure, attractive residential and commercial neighborhoods where people unite to form a caring, learning, participating, sustainable community in which each person is important. SUMMARY OF FY 2021 CAPITAL PLAN For FY 2021, the County proposed and adopted a one-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As the County Manager stated in June 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has created far too much uncertainty in terms of an unstable financial outlook, an increased need for food, housing and health needs, and supporting the business community and workforce. The program presented in the adopted CIP considered the uncertain fiscal horizon of the County and focuses on essential investments with a one-year CIP. As part of the adopted FY 2021 budget, the County Board maintained the existing real estate tax rate at $1.026 per $100 dollars of assessed value (including stormwater tax). The adopted program centers on projects already in progress, projects that are critical to improving County infrastructure and assets, projects that meet legal and regulatory requirements, technology investments and commitments to invest in the stormwater infrastructure system. Highlights of the adopted CIP include: • Fire Station Renovations – The fire stations will be renovated to accommodate additional staff. Renovations include additional storage, living space, locker room facilities and upgrading decontamination areas. • Body Worn Cameras – The new technology will implement Body Worn Cameras for the Police Department and Sheriff’s Office in addition to initial upgrades to four courtrooms to support the program. • Trail Bridge and Modernization Program – This ongoing program will address the replacement of the pedestrian bridges in Glencarlyn and Lubber Run parks, which were destroyed in the July 2019 storm.

Introduction This element of the MTP focuses on multi‐modal use of public streets and rights‐of‐way. Streets have traditionally been seen as the domain of the automobile but are essential facilities for nearly all forms of transportation including individual and mass transit, taxicabs, bicyclists and pedestrians. Moreover, our local streets are not just transportation facilities they also serve as and shape many of our community’s most public spaces. The MTP establishes six broad goals for Arlington’s transportation policy that direct the policies and implementation actions for street development and management that are identified in this document.
