County Manager Barbara Donnellan will retire at the end of June after three decades with Arlington County, including the last five years as County Manager.

Arlington’s spring paving program repairs potholes, replaces damaged roadways, and resurfaces streets throughout the County. We have a lot going on with DES this time of year. As a part of street preventive maintenance program our Water, Sewer, Streets Bureau identifies streets that need repairing or paving. This is a routine preventative street maintenance program. 24 to 48 hours prior to the start of the operation we send out door hangars that are delivered to each of the households. And along with those door hangars we post “No Parking” signs on the streets. Failure to obey those signs could result in their cars being towed so we strongly encourage people to look out for those door hangars and street signs. Some level of disruptions are expected such as noise, dust, and traffic detours, but we work our best to try and minimize those disruptions. And the end result really is a smooth, long-lasting driving surface.
We also have street name signs that are going up that will gradually appear throughout the county to comply with policy set forth by the Federal Highway Administration. The new signs are larger and they contain lower and upper case reflective lettering. They promote visibility, better navigation and thus safety. Although the Federal requirement is for new and replacement signs because of the improved visibility with the new signs we’re implementing the new style across the county. We’re starting the effort this spring and it’s starting with Wilson Blvd., Clarendon Blvd, and Crystal Drive and we’re gradually going to implement them throughout the county as resources allow. So there’s a lot for residents to look forward to.
For more information on the paving schedule, and to find out how to report a pothole, visit the transportation section of our website at transporation.arlingtova.us.

Anywhere you drive in Arlington, you’ll encounter County work crews who are out performing daily tasks like cleaning streets, collecting leaves or plowing snow. Driving safely around these vehicles is extremely important to avoid accidents or injuries.

Trucks do not have the same stop and go capability as cars, so remember to be a PAL and don't zone out. Here are some safety tips our Department of Environmental Services would like you to remember:

•Please slow down around work zones and provide County vehicles and personnel additional space needed to safely operate.

•Trucks have blind spots between the doors and the rear of the vehicle. Stay out of these areas to ensure you are seen.

•Do not pull in front of a truck when you need to stop or slow down.

•Be sure to signal your intentions and do not make moves abruptly.

•When parking, be sure to park as close to the curb as possible.

Most importantly, practice patience. Be a PAL (Predictable, Alert, and Lawful) and don’t zone out!

Finally, if you encounter unsafe behaviors from a county truck driver, report it to our Risk Management Office at 703.228.4444.

How can you find out how many people are biking on our trails? You install a bikeometer! Our first bikeometer was installed at Lee Highway and North Lynn Street, where nearly 500,000 bikes whiz by each year. You can see how many have gone by on a screen and we'll use the data to plan bike routes and improve bike safety. To learn more about this, other bike trails in Arlington and bike safety go to Bikearlington.com

While bikes whiz by on paths, data whizzes through Arlington at speeds that are infinitely faster than anywhere else in the Capital region. That's because of the ConnectArlington broadband network. It was developed by Arlington County government to link County buildings and schools together, but now we're extending that super high-speed fiber to Arlington businesses. The service will roll out over the next year. To learn more, go to arlingtonva.us: keyword, connect arlington.

A new study shows that Arlington can expect a huge return on its investment in the Columbia Pike streetcar.

Arlington County Vice Chair Jay Fisette, Congressman Jim Moran, Alexandria Mayor Bill Euille, developers and others were on hand to mark the demolition of an old railroad bridge over Four Mile Run, near Route 1 and Potomac Avenue. Removal of the bridge will usher in a healthy new waterfront for Arlington and Alexandria as part of the Four Mile Run Restoration Master Plan.

The Four Mile Run Restoration Master Plan is a blueprint for transforming this area into an active and lively waterfront that connects Arlington and Alexandria. Demolishing the bridge is a key step in the long-term plan to re-build and restore Four Mile Run, its surrounding community, and its ecology.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project on Arlington Boulevard is replacing the aging Courthouse Road bridge. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at the interchanges on Route 50/Arlington Boulevard at 10th Street and at Courthouse Road. These interchanges were constructed in the early 1950's, are tightly spaced by today's standards, with short acceleration lanes and insufficient capacity for current and future traffic volumes.

The 10th Street and Courthouse Road bridges over westbound Arlington Boulevard will be replaced, and dedicated acceleration/deceleration lanes will be added on Arlington Boulevard, separated from the main roadway. These new lanes will improve traffic flow by managing the merge of entering and exiting vehicles.

Arlington celebrated the conclusion of an 18 month project to renovate and improve the Glebe Road overpass over Route 50. Following an event in March of 2009 when cement chunks fell from the bridge onto Route 50, Arlington and VDOT worked together to create a better solution to the needs of this major north-south corridor in the county.

Newsmakers covers the installation of the canopy on the prototype Super Stop on Columbia Pike. This is the first of 24 Super Stops planned for the Columbia Pike corridor.

To learn more about the installation of Super Stops along the Columbia Pike bus route, go to www.ColumbiaPikeva.us and search on "Super Stops."
