KLS helps communities develop an integrated transportation system that provides its residents with a wide
array of choices. Walking and biking are legitimate modes of transportation and
it is not acceptable that so many pedestrians and bicyclists are killed in traffic
every year. KLS efforts brings in easy, safe, and comfortable walking and biking
conditions so that people with disabilities can travel without encountering barriers.

City of Falls Church Master Plan
|
This Plan established a pedestrian and bicycle network to create connections to schools, parks,
libraries, neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and transit. The implementation plan, as prepared
by KLS, includes the following:
-
Pedestrian, Bicycle and Traffic Calming Master Plan.
This primary document lists all recommended improvement projects for new sidewalks, bicycle
facilities, spot improvements, and traffic calming. The Plan includes more than 1,000 projects,
large and small, planned for completion in the next 20 years and valued at more than $22 million.
Projects include constructing 12 miles of new sidewalks, reconstructing 35 miles of existing
sidewalks and curb ramps, installing 20 miles of bike lanes and shared bike lane markings, and
improving more than 20 intersections including the five W&OD Trail crossings and five corridors.
-
Safe Routes to School Travel Plan.
This document identified the barriers to walking and biking to school and includes the recommended
projects and policies that will improve walking and biking safety. VDOT recognized the Plan as one
of the “best” and awarded almost $0.5 million.
-
Self-Evaluation Update and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan for Public Rights of Way.
KLS conducted an inventory of existing pedestrian facilities within the City right-of-way
(approximately 441 individual sidewalk segments [36 miles] and 649 curb ramps) to provide
a baseline of the location and condition of the existing facilities. This data was used to
recommend improvements to pedestrian facilities and to comply with ADA requirements.
