Columbia Pike has always been

a key east-west corridor through

Northern Virginia, starting in

Annandale and ending at the Pen-tagon in Arlington. But traffic on

The Pike is regularly difficult,

and some stretches were not seen

as aesthetically pleasing.

Thats all changing, and faster

than you might think. Arlington

has been methodically and impres-

sively redeveloping the Pike, with-

out displacing families.

And for traffic, it is leading the

charge back to the future: street-

cars. The last time streetcars ran in

Northern Virginia was in the 1940s.

Now, Fairfax and Arlington coun-

ties are working together to make

the first 4.7-mile stretch along the

Pike into a streetcar showcase.

The two counties have set up

their own funding streams for

streetcars and will apply for a

key federal grant that will pro-

vide a large chunk of the initial

cost, last estimated at $160 mil-

lion. The hope is to have the first

stretch open in 2016, with a second

leg that would run south through

Crystal City to the Alexandria line,

and then the potential to fan out

through the eastern part of North-

ern Virginia.

The streetcars would run most-

ly in the right lane, with embedded

tracks and electric wires above, with

low floor vehicles for easy access

from the curb. There will be des-

ignated stops.

In addition to the Columbia Pike

streetcars, plans for a second leg

that would take the route down the

length of Crystal City to Four Mile

Run and the border with Alexan-

dria are well under way.

Arlington Board Chair Chris

Zimmerman said the Pike is follow-

ing in the footsteps of Shirlington

and Clarendon, once-quiet areas

of Arlington that benefited from

smart planning and easy access

that are now booming.

Arlington is big enough to

do cool stuff, Zimmerman said,

and small enough to get it done.TOM JACKMAN (THE WASHINGTON POST)
