For the second time in less than a week, a person was struck and injured at an intersection along Wilson Blvd in Bluemont.
The latest happened Sunday afternoon at the intersection of Wilson Blvd and N. George Mason Drive, less than a mile from the scene of last week’s crash involving a cyclist at the intersection of Wilson and N. Lexington Street.

A new analysis calls for a more concentrated approach to upgrading Arlington’s bicycling facilities.

An advisory panel says the proposed pedestrian/bicycle bridge connecting Crystal City to Reagan National Airport falls short of optimal accessibility standards.
The current plan for an elevator and staircase at the Crystal City side of the crossing “is absolutely not sufficient,” said Pamela Van Hine, recording secretary of the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC).
Plans to cover only a portion of a quarter-mile pedestrian bridge between Crystal City and Reagan National Airport are raising concerns among some local residents.
Officials from Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services have proposed to cover the CC2DCA multimodal connection on the western portion as it passes above rail lines, then on the eastern portion as it approaches the airport. For aesthetic reasons, however, the current plan is to leave the bridge open to the sky as it passes over GW Parkway.
Arlington’s Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC) is seeking to ensure that safety programs for people on foot are considered a must-have during this budget cycle.
