N. Carlin Springs Road - Arlington Neighborhoods Program Project

Installation of intersection and traffic calming improvements on N Carlin Springs Rd between N Galveston St and 2 nd St N/N Jefferson St.

The general interest survey is now complete. County staff will move forward with developing a concept design, after a survey of the area is complete.

Arlington County via the Arlington Neghborhoods Program have recently scoped N. Carlin Springs Road Safety improvements and as the project block captain I will be asking for signatures to gauge general interest in the project. Signatures are required only by property owners within the zone of potential improvements. If support from at least 60% of the affected property owners along the block on both sides of the street is shown through this petitioning process, County staff will move forward with developing a concept design. Note that there is no cost to the individual property owner for this project.

If and once a concept design is developed, all affected residents will have an opportunity to review the design and vote on moving the project to the next step, which is to seek a recommendation for funding through the Arlington Neighborhoods Program Advisory Committee (ArNAC).
