Trail on Monroe St. from East Park Dr. to existing trail over Dulles Toll Road.

465 foot trail connecting existing paved walkways on western side of Monroe St.

This trail will provide connectivity over the Dulles Toll Road without crossing ramps to Toll Road. Most of the other connections over the Toll Road (Centreville Rd. Fairfax County Parkway, Reston Parkway, Wiehle Avenue) must cross ramps to the Dulles Toll Road creating hazardous crossings for pedestrians and bicyclists. This is one of a few connections over the Toll Road that do not face hazardous conditions. It is already getting considerable use by bicyclists even though the proposed section is unpaved.

Bicyclists going north are using the southbound right turn lane to remain on a paved surface.

Is It Feasible to Build - High
