Video: The new Richmond Highway corridor
Fairfax County has released a new animated video explaining how the Richmond Highway bus rapid transit (BRT) project will transform transportation along the corridor.
Posted to YouTube on Thursday, the video touts the new choices that will be available to commuters with the addition of BRT, a wider road, and dedicated spaces for cyclists and walkers.
“For years people traveling between the Huntington Metrorail Station and Fort Belvoir have had limited choices, other than plodding along the slow, narrow and overcrowded Richmond Highway,” the narrator says. “But all that is going to change.”
The video is also available in Spanish. You can get more information on the BRT project on the county’s website.
In other BRT news, the Fairfax County Department of Transportation has also posted the slides from this week’s community information meetings.
It looks like those accessing public transportation will have to cross several lanes of busy traffic. What provisions have been made for pedestrian safety, when crossing to the bus lane?
It looks like they will be able to cross at a traffic signal. Anything else?
