FCA Monthly Meeting: March 11
Sara Brandt-Vorel, transportation capital project manager for the City of Alexandria, will brief the FCA and the community on transportation projects affecting Fairlington. Brandt-Vorel will present at FCA’s virtual meeting on Wednesday, March 11, at 7 p.m. which will be livestreamed on the FCA Facebook page. You do not need to have a Facebook account to watch.
The briefing will include updates on the King St.–Bradlee Safety and Mobility Enhancements project, as well as the W. Braddock Rd. Corridor and N. Howard St. Access and Safety Study.
In December, a fatal crash occurred at the intersection of King St. and S. Taylor St., just outside Fairlington Glen, underscoring the importance of these safety improvements.
