The shared use path near the Victory Center was completed in 2024. Another section of the path in front of the Victory Center is scheduled to be added as part of the conversion of the building to residences.

Since it is available, add winter for folks in the west end to drop off e-waste at the Van Dorn Metro

The trailers also block the sidewalks, putting the most vulnerable into the street.

I recently rode the loop trail before the puzzle hunt began. Defintely a fun ride. ridewithgps.com/routes/50648....

The new section of the trail was open yesterday. Contractor was still working on installing signs.

I had recently asked if that jarring bit could be repaired. Was told that section of the trail (west of Beauregard) will be closing shortly to build the new bridge.

And if you have a sense of adventure, keep going.

And beyond the tunnel is more! A nice new bridge

Your blog was the best to cover the DMV biking community. I learned much from your posts and explored many of the places you wrote about. I always referred people who biked to your blog. Definitely a great resource for many years. Thank you for making biking better in the DMV.

Close to home, the Capital Trails Coalition did a benefits study on completing the Capital Trails Network.

.66 miles of newly separated infrastructure for people walking and biking. Keeping people safe! And with one only one stop sign along the route. Definitely worth celebrating.

Remaining 8 streets
King city line to Quaker
Edsall city line to Van Dorn
Yokum from Stevenson to Van Dorn
Duke city line to Callahan
Quaker from King to city line
Telegraph city line to Duke
Van Dorn city line to Braddock
GW Parkway from 2nd to city line

Speed limit reductions started with Quaker in 2016. Just 8 streets to go for 25.

The plowing helped! The HRT is clear from Ripley to Duke, plus the Ripley Street and Beatley Bridges have cleared pathways. From Duke to Eisenhower the trail has lots of ice with some clear patches.

However, from Duke to Eisenhower - lots of ice. A young man was busy clearing a pathway.

There is still plenty of ice. Pictures were taken around 11:15 this morning.

City Council and managers need to recognize that sidewalks, intersections, trails and bike lanes are ultimately their responsibility. I commend city staff for their efforts, but they need the funding and resources to make all forms of transportation safe after a snow event.

I went back and looked at it this morning, I think you are right. I suspect that VTS did the “sidewalk” clearing.
