There are a number of projects underway along Duke Street that address community priorities such as reliable transit, improved safety and keeping Duke Street moving for all users:
Duke Street In Motion
Duke Street In Motion is seeking to achieve a vision developed from community input to provide an efficient and desirable bus rapid transit (BRT) option along Duke Street by improving the transit experience for current and potential riders. With multimodal enhancements to the corridor, Duke Street will become a safe, efficient and desirable community connector for people riding the bus, walking, biking, and driving.
Duke Street Traffic Mitigation Pilots
The City is working through two pilot projects aimed at reducing regional cut-through traffic on neighborhood streets and shifting traffic onto the major arterials. To do this, we also must improve the flow of traffic on the arterials and make those routes faster than cutting through the neighborhoods.
Duke Street and West Taylor Run Parkway Project
The Duke Street and West Taylor Run Parkway Project aims to improve safety at this high crash location while reducing neighborhood cut-through traffic. The project will redesign the intersection in conjunction with the addition of a new ramp to access Telegraph Road.
Adaptive Traffic Signal Control
Alexandria is rolling out intelligent traffic signals that respond and adapt to real-time vehicle location and movement data, optimizing traffic flow, decreasing delays and reducing stops at various intersections throughout the city, including the Duke Street corridor.
The City will provide information and updates on the progress of all these projects on the Duke Street Projects webpage and via subscription to Duke Street Projects eNews.
