Agenda
• Study Purpose• Project Progress Overview• 2050 1st Tier Mitigation Results• Mitigation Options• Next Steps• Questions and Answers
2
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Purpose of Study• Conduct a detailed analysis of the grid of streets
to determine:– Number of lanes between and at intersections– How to best serve pedestrians, bikes and transit– Right-of-way needs
• Assign urban street types and modal emphasis based on Department of Rail and Public Transportation Multimodal System Design Guidelines
• Conduct a phasing analysis of when larger projects are needed

County of Fairfax, Virginia
Reston Network Analysis Tasks1. Data Collection – done2. Existing Conditions – done3. Future Conditions – 2050 mitigation underway
– Determine Grid of Streets
4. Phasing Analysis 5. DRPT Classifications6. Specific Location Improvements For Additional Study
– Reston Parkway– Sunrise Valley Drive @ Fairfax County Parkway– Spring Street @ Fairfax County Parkway– Rock Hill Bridge

Mitigation
7
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Purpose of Mitigation• Mitigation reduces vehicle congestion • Mitigation reduces delays experienced at
intersections• Mitigation improves the reliability of travel times
through an area (for both buses and vehicles)
8
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Mitigation Options• Mitigation Measures - Tiered Approach
– 1st Tier: No right of way (ROW) impact – 2nd Tier: Some right of way impact– 3rd Tier: Large scale mitigations if needed
– Consultation with Advisory Group and Stakeholders
• Each grid link is initially assumed to be one lane in each direction
– No turn lanes at new intersections
9
County of Fairfax, Virginia
2050 1st Tier Mitigation Measures
• No ROW Impact Mitigation Measures – Modifications to lane configurations– Signal timing and phasing optimization – All-way stop vs. two-way stop evaluation – Additional traffic signals
10
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Mitigation Measures1st Tier: No Right of Way Impact
•Intersection Reconfiguration– Optimized signal timing and phasing– Lane configuration modification

2050 1st Tier Mitigation Results• Stop Controlled Intersections:
– Overall LOS– Overall delay
• Signalized Intersections:– Overall LOS– Overall delay– LOS by movement– Delay by movement– Volumes for each movement

Mitigation Measures2nd Tier: Some Right of Way Impact
• Turn lanes– New Left and Right turn lanes– Extended turn lanes: adds storage
• Additional through lane• Additional grid link
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Mitigation Measures3rd Tier: Alternative Intersection Treatment
• Median U-Turn/Superstreet– Eliminates left turn movement for side streets– Increases thru movement green time– Additional needed ROW to provide turn radius
46
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Mitigation Measures3rd Tier: Large Mitigation Measures
• Underpass/Overpass– Provides for an uninterrupted thru movement
• Only done in close coordination with Advisory Group and Stakeholders after all other mitigation measures have not worked
47
County of Fairfax, Virginia
Next Steps• Apply ROW impact Mitigation Measures
– Turn lanes– Turn lane extensions– Additional thru lane
• Develop possible mitigation measures for problem locations that remain to discuss with Advisory Group
• Meet with Advisory Group on possible 2nd Tier mitigation measures
• Meet with Stakeholder group on 2nd Tier
