Fairfax County transportation officials are asking residents to weigh in on possible changes to Route 29 between Falls Church and the Capital Beltway following two pedestrian crashes along the corridor in recent years.

An online survey for the Route 29 Active Transportation Study will remain open through June 30. A Spanish-language virtual community meeting is also scheduled for Wednesday, June 10, at 7 p.m.

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation launched the survey after an in-person meeting on May 19. The study area lies primarily in Fairfax County, with its northeastern end extending into the City of Falls Church.

Officials are considering three broad approaches to modernizing the corridor. One emphasizes intersection improvements, another focuses mainly on roads and sidewalks, and a third centers on upgrades to service roads.

During the May meeting, planners explained how each approach could affect different portions of Route 29. Although they did not provide specific cost estimates, they identified which improvements would likely be relatively inexpensive and which would cost more.

The department also reviewed feedback from a November and December survey that received more than 600 responses. Sidewalk and crosswalk improvements attracted the strongest interest.

Respondents also called for better roads and bicycle facilities, more trails or shared-use paths, additional tree canopy and measures to reduce speeding. Some opposed widening Route 29 because they feared it could encourage higher speeds and create more dangerous conditions.

The corridor was the site of pedestrian crashes in 2021 and 2025.

After the current public-engagement period closes June 30, another round of outreach is planned for the fall. Officials then expect to release a preferred concept for the corridor’s improvements.
