As part of the next installment of Neighborhood Conservation projects, five neighborhoods, including three along I-66, could be a getting a combined $2.6 million in infrastructure improvements.
The Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee and county staff has recommended the five projects, and the Arlington County Board is scheduled to vote on whether to allocate money from the $12 million Neighborhood Conservation bond the voters approved last year.
Cherrydale’s Oak Grove Park, along N. Quincy Street, has been recommended for $795,000 worth of improvements, including a redone “tot lot,” construction of a playground for 5-12 year olds and replacing the existing gazebo with a larger picnic shelter.
Waycroft-Woodlawn is in line for $790,000 in pedestrian upgrades. The neighborhood has requested the money to fund curb ramp improvements for accessibility curb extensions at four intersections:
- N. Evergreen Street and Washington Blvd
- N. George Mason Drive and 11th Street N.
- N. Evergreen Street and 11th Street N.
- N. Buchanan St and 11th Street N.
The other projects would each receive less than $500,000 in funding:
- $471,731 in pedestrian improvements along S. Courthouse Road from Columbia Pike to 12th Street S. in Columbia Heights
- $348,987 for street lights in Madison Manor, along 12th Street N. from 11th Road to N. Roosevelt Street
- $198,033 for street lights in Douglas Park, along 12th Street S. from S. Monroe Street to Quincy Street
Five of the projects approved by the County Board in February are in the middle of their design phase and are on track for construction next year:
- Street improvements to the 5700 block of 2nd Street S. and the 100 block of S. Kensington Street in Glencarlyn.
- A trail connector from the 4800 block of 7th Street S. to the W&OD trail in Barcroft.
- Pedestrian safety improvements to 19th Road N. between Woodstock Street and Upton Street in Waverly Hills
- Street improvements to S. Lang Street between Arlington Ridge Road and 28th Street in Arlington Ridge
- Streetlights and trail improvements on N. Ohio Street between 22nd Street and Washington Blvd in Highland Park Overlee Knolls.
The sixth project approved in February, improvements to Woodstock Park in Waycroft-Woodlawn, still does not have a scheduled completion date.
