Mixed use is happening and Wegmans is coming to Beulah and Telegraph.
Editorial: A bridge needs to built to accommodate bikers and pedestrian when they cross Beulah Rd from Wegman's to the other side where their customers live. There is large residential area opposite Wegman. Beulah Rd is going to be impossible to cross due the increasing traffic!!!!!A pedestrian/bike bridge as sturdy as the one that goes across 95 is the only answer!!!!!

BIKE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE FROM METRO PARK TO WINDSOR ESTATES

Traffic on Beulah St is heavy. Pedestrians and Bikers need to be taken out of this turmoil. The correct solution is to have large heavy duty bike/pedestrian bridge from Metro Park to Shoppers Shopping Center to Lane Elementary and crossing over to Windsor Estates. Bike traffic could then safely go either from Metro Park or the Hayfield area to Metro/Springfield Transportation Center or by going over the proposed bridge over the RR, could go into Springfield Mall.Furthermore bike or pedestrian traffic could proceed further by going over the existing pedestrian bike bridge over rt 95 to other points. As development proceeds on Beulah St , Springfield, and Windsor Estates, high speed car traffic needs to be separated from pedestrian and bike traffic. These bridges are important to the development. At a recent land use meeting, one person spoke to me about some friends injured by cars while biking. While vising Arlington County, I saw an athletic forty something biker in the middle of an intersection after he was hit by a car. Proper planning dictates that bikers and pedestrian be kept separate from high speed auto traffic.

Editorial: Need of a large bike Bridge over the RR tracks of the Springfield Transportation USA

Editorial: We also need to promote a second bridge for bikes and passenger connecting the Barry Road to the other side of the Springfield Transportation Center. Additionally a bike bath parallel to the railroad track needs to be developed. The bridge should be the equivalent of the bike passenger bridge that goes over rt 95. The idea is to have bike traffic that currently goes to the transportation center and then could go through and connect to the bridge that goes over rt 95.
