NCAC Recommends Kirkwood Rd Project to County Board

On Tuesday, December 9, 2010, the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC) voted to recommend that the Arlington County Board fund the Kirkwood Road project, which would install sidewalk from 14th Street to 17th Street along the western side of Kirkwood Road. WalkArlington will install additional sidewalk to join with the NC portion just north of 17th Street and will extend to Lee Highway.

The County Board should vote on final funding for this project in February. To view the County Board’s meeting agenda, please click here.
