The George Washington Memorial Parkway will host a public meeting on Monday, May 10th at 7 p.m. to discuss the results of the Southern George Washington Memorial Parkway Safety Study. The study focused on safety of the Parkway between the Mount Vernon Estates and the southern city limit of Alexandria.

The plan provided recommendations for a road diet for parts of the Parkway, vegetation management to improve sightlines, and speeding enforcement as well as consideration of roundabouts at intersections. Additional information and the meeting link are at https://www.nps.gov/gwmp/learn/management/southern-george-washington-memorial-parkway-safety-study-next-steps.htm

The Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail and the Fairfax Alliance for Better Bicycling will host another meeting with the George Washington Memorial Parkway on May 20th that focuses more specifically on improvements for trail users crossing the southern Parkway. Details and meeting link to come.
