Mural, safety improvements planned for Annandale street
The National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board approved an $80,000 grant to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety on Tom Davis Drive in Annandale.
Tom Davis Drive is a county-managed street that connects John Marr Drive and Columbia Pike.
The Regional Roadway Safety Program grant will develop designs for traffic-calming measures, such as protected bike lanes, painted meanders, and chicanes (serpentine curves to slow traffic).
In addition, Fairfax County’s Community Revitalization Section is planning an asphalt mural on Tom Davis Drive “to create a culturally relevant sense of place and supplement the project’s traffic safety improvements.” The design of the mural hasn’t been determined.
According to the Transportation Planning Board, “The census tract where the project is located has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities in Fairfax County.”

80 k for signs that say- DONT STAND IN THE ROAD.
USE THE FREAKING CROSSWALK LAZY.
the mural should be silhouettes of the dead pedestrians as warning to the people who seem to always be standing in the road
