Public Process Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Compact Public Hearing - July 2022 The county selected the current design concept for advancement to maximize return on investment for this project. The study found that additional bus capacity and pedestrian/ADA improvements are needed and provided 3 alternative design concepts, each at different investment level. In July 2015, WMATA, in coordination with Arlington County, published the East Falls Church Station Bus Facilities Study report which assessed the existing conditions of the bus loop, park & ride lot, and adjacent sidewalks and roadways to develop conceptual designs that maximize the bus loop capacity for future ridership and use and enhance the adjacent pedestrian network. Meet accessibility needs – provide direct access for customers with mobility challenges to and from parking, bus and rail service.Give people space –provide new and additional shelters at this key transfer point for bus-bus and bus-rail connections.Relieve operational congestion – Increase capacity and reduce operational issues for bus routes serving this station.Enhance a multimodal hub – improve the ability to transfer among Metrorail, Metrobus, ART, and regional bus services and improve pedestrian access to the Metrorail station.Arlington County owns and operates the traffic signals in the project area. Sycamore Street Complete Streets project and accompanying signal improvements as well as a Capital Bikeshare expansion project in the area.Īrlington County is sponsoring and leading the bus bay expansion project in coordination with the WMATA who owns the Metrorail station, the bus loop, and park-and-ride lot. The project will be coordinated with the ongoing N. The project also includes pedestrian access improvements from the Metro park-and-ride lot, improvements to the accessible parking, and improvements to the crosswalks at the entrance to the existing bus loop on N Sycamore Street. This project will increase bus bay capacity by adding three new bus bays and replacing the existing shelters in the off-street bus loop. The East Falls Church Metrorail station currently has four bus bays that are at maximum capacity.
