Proposed Meade Street Bridge will be big improvement for cyclists

The Meade Street Bridge redesign that was presented this week would be a big improvement for cyclists in the Rosslyn area. It would include bike lanes - some of them using colored paint - on Meade, N. Lynn and N. Fort Myer streets, a left turn pocket lane for southbound cyclists heading into Iwo Jima, and bike boxes on N. Fort Myer Drive. In addtion, the ramp from westbound Route 50 would be converted to a square intersection and two traffic signals would be added on either side of the bridge
