This west side of Fairfax City is growing and changing. Homes, schools, offices, stores, and bus stops are located along Jermantown Road between Route 50 and I-66. The road provides an important connection to Fairfax County. Improvements in the corridor are needed.

Fairfax City began planning for this project in 2018. The city received $21M from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority for this project in 2019. The project team studied the Jermantown Road corridor, and a concept plan was created to improve it. Recommended improvements include:

  • Make the road wider in some areas
  • Make the road safer for walking and biking
  • Make it easier to access bus stops
  • Reduce the number of driveways

The project was reintroduced to the city council during a work session on May 9, 2023. Watch the discussion.(External link) View the presentation(External link).

  • Share 1- Please make it so no pedestrian ever has to cross more than two traffic lanes by making use of island/shelters. If done right they can also be an opportunity for additional vegetation 2- I lived last year in a city where the speed limit was 20mph. No one would exceed that speed because of effective traffic calming devices (none of which were speed bumps nor flashing lights). When the speed is 20mph, cars yield to pedestrians without effort. We have an opportunity to make this stroad into a street respectful of non-vehicular users. on Facebook Share 1- Please make it so no pedestrian ever has to cross more than two traffic lanes by making use of island/shelters.
