Fairfax County Department of Transportation (FCDOT) is seeking to develop viable transportation improvements to address traffic issues and community concerns along North Kings Highway (VA 241) within the Penn Daw Community Business Center (CBC). Some of the issues being addressed include cut-through traffic, pedestrian safety and walkability.
For the last two years, FCDOT has been working with a transportation consultant to develop four intersection design options.
A presentation can be viewed below that shows the proposed options (8C and 8D) in more detail, as well as the measures of effectiveness for both alternatives (including travel times).
Please submit your comments on the alternatives online

Free Energy Audit for your Home or Business
As part of its Solarize project, the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC) and Local Energy Alliance Program (LEAP) are offering a great opportunity for your home or commercial building. If your electricity is provided by Dominion Power, you may be eligible to participate.
Robert Lazaro, NVRC's Director of Regional Energy & Sustainability Policy, recently shared with SFDC some details of "Solarize Alexandria." It starts with a free home/business energy audit, a great value all by itself, and may progress to an evaluation for solar panels and a referral to a solar contractor.
| The benefits of Solarize include:
- Free home/business energy audit
- Free solar site assessments
- Discounted solar panel pricing and affordable financing
- Qualified, well-vetted, local installers and high performance systems
- 25% Federal tax credit through 2016
