New Bike Paths

In McLean, so reports the Post (though it's really a lane not a path)

A 0.7-mile bike lane was recently added on Westmoreland Street in McLean, between Chain Bridge and Kirby roads, as part of a county and Virginia Department of Transportation coordinated repaving project.

The bike route, part of the Board of Supervisors' Comprehensive Bicycle Initiative, will eventually extend to the Arlington County line.

For information about the county's bike program, call Charlie Strunk at 703-324-1127 or visit http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot. Scroll down, then click "Bike Program" under Programs.

And Bethesda

Montgomery County projects include shared-use paths on the northside of Bethesda Avenue between Woodmont and Wisconsin avenues; the northside of Willow Avenue between Wisconsin Avenue and 47th Street and on 47th Street from Willow Avenue into the Elm Street Park entrance to the Capital Crescent Trail.

In addition, the county says, bike route signs are planned for sections of Norfolk Avenue, Woodmont Avenue, Old Georgetown Road, Cheltenham Drive, Tilbury Street, Sleaford Road, Pearl Street, Bethesda Avenue, Willow Avenue and 47th Street.
