City of Alexandria Invites Public Input on Safety Audits for Intersections of Duke Street & Route 1
City of Alexandria Invites Public Input on Safety Audits for Intersections of Duke Street & Route 1
The City of Alexandria is seeking community feedback on mobility, safety, and access issues at the intersections of Duke Street & South Patrick Street, and Duke Street & South Henry Street.
Provide your feedback by February 28.
This feedback is being collected as part of the Duke Street & Route 1 High Crash Intersection Audits Project. The purpose of this project is to evaluate existing safety issues or risks and develop conceptual designs for future improvements.
Collectively, there have been over 70 crashes at these two intersections since 2014. Of those, 4 resulted in severe injury and more than 20 resulted in non-life-threatening injuries. Both intersections are ranked among the City’s high-crash intersections and are on the City's high-injury network.
The City’s adopted Vision Zero goal is to eliminate fatal and severe crashes. The City’s adopted Alexandria Mobility Plan also calls for prioritizing high-crash intersections and corridors for safety improvements.
This project is supported by a technical assistance grant through the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (MWCOG) Regional Roadway Safety Program.
