A
lot
has
changed
over
the
last
few
months,
but
one
thing
that
hasn't
is
how
arlington
is
working
for
you,
while
we've
been
at
home,
crews
have
been
working
hard
to
finish
some
of
arlington's
biggest
projects
and
getting
new
ones
underway.
Let's
take
a
look
after
a
year
and
a
half
of
work.
Improvements
on
clarendon
circle
are
complete.
Helping
make
this
intersection
more
accessible
and
safer
for
those
who
walk
bike
and
drive.
A
Improvements

sidewalks

work
is
underway
on
the
plaza
area
around

heavily
used
boston,
mu,
metro
station.
This
project
will
create
four
new
bus,
bays,
expand,
pedestrian
spaces
and
add
real-time
information
displays
to
nine
bus
stops
in
the
area.
A
This
is
part
of
a
larger
project
that
will
make
columbia
pike
a
safer,
more
accessible
route
for
everyone.
Improvements
include
wider
sidewalks,
upgraded
crossings,
new
street
lights
and
landscaping
below
ground,
we're,
replacing
aging
water
and
sewer
pipes
and
burying
overhead
utility
lines.
This
section
should
be
complete
in
early
2021.
A
The
opening
of
lubberon
community
center
may
have
been
delayed
until
next
year,
but
you'll
be
able
to
enjoy
its
outdoor
park
amenities.
This
fall
get
ready
for
four
pickleball
courts,
a
volleyball
court,
a
basketball
court
with
six
hoops,
a
state-of-the-art
playground
and
plenty
of
open
space,
and
don't
forget
to
take
a
turn
on
the
boardwalk
to
enjoy
the
natural
landscaping.
A
Improvements
are
coming
to
the
intersection
of
lee
highway
and
glebe
road
work
started
in
may
to
construct
left
turn
lanes
along
north
sleep,
road,

traffic
signals
and
street
lights
and
improve
signal
timing
and
we're
improving
water
mains
and
storm

enhancing
crosswalks
and
bus
stops
and
widening
sidewalks
in
the
area
over
at
benjamin
banneker
park
renovations
continue
on
the
dog
park,
athletic
field,
playground
and
parking
area.
We're
also
renovating
the
segment
of
four
mile
run
in
the
wnod
trail
that
runs
through
the
park
and
by
the
end
of
the
year.
A
You'll
see
changes
at
two
more
arlington
parks
at
edison
park.
There'll
be
two
play
areas
for
different
age
groups,
new
site,
furnishings
and
decorative
fencing
and
accessibility
improvements,
while
at
henry
clay
park,
reconstruction
is
underway
on
the
basketball
court,
playground,
field,
picnic,
shelter
and
more
safety
and
accessibility
for
all
users
is
the
focus
of
the
pershing
drive
project.
The
first
phase
of
work,
which
is
on
track
to
be
complete
in
spring
2021,
focuses
on
improvements
at
the
intersections,
with
north
fillmore,
north
garfield,
north
highland
and
north
oakland
streets.
A
More
than
a
decade
ago,
arlington
installed
two
rectangular
rapid
flashing
beacons
as
a
pilot
for
this
innovative
pedestrian
safety
technology.
This
summer,
the
county
completed
its
17th
flashing,
beacon
at
washington,
boulevard
and
north
nelson
street
with
more
locations
coming
across
the
county.
Soon,
after
nearly
a
year
of
construction
renovations
at
madison,
manor
park
are
complete.
The
park
now
features
a
nature,
themed
playground,
a
picnic,
shelter,
a
basketball
court
parking
and
a
reoriented
combo
field
that
includes
a
new
backstop
dugouts
and
seating
new
trees
and
shrubs
help
protect
nearby
natural
resources.
A
And
finally,
I'm
here
on
custis
trail
in
roslyn,
where
a
partnership
with
vdot
helped
transform
this
public
space
along
lee
highway
and
north
lynn
street.
After
two
years
of
work,
there
are
wider
sidewalks
and
on
street
bike
lane
on
lynn
street
and
the
trail
has
been
widened
to
16
feet
with
a
large
grass
buffer
and
check
out
this
public
art
that
was
installed
in
may
to
light
the
famed
arlington
gateway
and
that
wraps
up
our
look
at
projects
that
were
completed
this
year
and
those
to
watch
for
of
the
coming
months.
