  1. County of Fairfax, Virginia Innovation North-Side Neighborhood Access Feasibility Study Lauren Delmare, P.E. Transportation Planner Fairfax County Department of Transportation June 29, 2017

  2. Study Location Innovation Center Station and North Kiss & Ride Farougi Court Apgar Place Department of Transportation

  3. Station Plans Department of Transportation

  4. Existing Conditions Dry Pond Farougi Court Creek Cricket Field Creek Apgar Place Department of Transportation

  5. Existing Conditions – Path West of Apgar Pl Department of Transportation

  6. Existing Conditions – Farougi Ct Cul-de-sac Department of Transportation

  7. Existing Conditions – Cricket Field Department of Transportation

  8. Existing Conditions – Greene Dr Cul-de-sac Department of Transportation

  9. Existing Conditions – Walking Route 2 to 3 miles to Innovation Center Metro station entrance (future Horse Pen Rd path would reduce second route to about 1.6 miles) Department of Transportation

  10. Proposed Shared-Use Path Department of Transportation

  11. All Alternatives • 10-ft shared-use path designed for bicycle and pedestrian use • Shared-use path connection from future Innovation Center Metrorail Station north-side Kiss & Ride to: • Farougi Court (Reflection Homes Single-Family Homes) and • Apgar Place (Reflection Homes Townhomes) • Can be “mixed and matched” – for instance, the eastern segment of Alternative A can be combined with the western segment of Alternative C. • Leave adequate width for future improvement of Greene Drive Department of Transportation

  12. Alternative A Department of Transportation

  13. Alternative A • Direct access to station, shortest route • 0.34 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 7 min walk • 0.26 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 5 min walk • Connects via North/West side of field • Impacts Metro Station facility • Two large bridges span the floodplains • provides more reliability during inclement weather • Cost estimate: $6.6 million Department of Transportation

  14. Alternative B Department of Transportation

  15. Alternative B • Direct access to station, slightly longer route than Alternative A • 0.35 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 7 min walk • 0.30 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 5 min walk • Connects via South/East side of field • Impacts Metro Station facility • Two large bridges span the floodplains • provides more reliability during inclement weather • Cost estimate: $6.6 million Department of Transportation

  16. Alternative C Department of Transportation

  17. Alternative C • Utilizes future sidewalk connection on Innovation Ave Department of Transportation

  18. Alternative C • Indirect access to station, longest route • 0.49 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 10 min walk • 0.41 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 8 min walk • Connects via North/West side of field, could use Alt B route (South/East side of field) • No impacts to Metro Station facility • One short bridge and use of Innovation Ave culvert to cross streams • reduced reliability at short bridge between Farougi Ct and Apgar Pl during inclement weather • Cost estimate: $1.6 million, least expensive Department of Transportation

  19. Alternatives Evaluation Department of Transportation

  20. Residential Parking Impacts • Residential Permit Parking District (RPPD) can prohibit parking for non-residents. • Apgar Place and surrounding Reflection Homes Townhomes streets are private streets, therefore not eligible for RPPD • Farougi Court and some surrounding streets (Whisonant Court, Herman Court, Seaman Court, and a portion of Maleady Drive) are public streets which appear to meet RPPD requirements for distance and 100 contiguous spaces • RPPD can be initiated in advance of station and path opening since these projects are planned Department of Transportation

  21. Residential Permit Parking District The procedures for establishing a Residential Parking Permit District are: A request is made to the district supervisor by the HOA and forwarded to FCDOT FCDOT reviews road documenting eligibility for restriction and conducts field review if required Petition forms and map are issued by FCDOT if eligible The community gathers signatures verifying at least 60% support for the proposed area and more than 50% support along each block face Fee of $10 per petitioning address and completed petition are returned to supervisor The district supervisor forwards the petition to FCDOT for review The district supervisor forwards fee to FCDOT if petition meets requirements The Board of Supervisors conducts a public hearing and approves proposed parking district FCDOT installs "No Parking Except by Permit" on all affected roads For more information, visit: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/parking/rppd.htm Department of Transportation
