ABOUT THE STREETS ELEMENT
The Streets Element is the last remaining section of the updated MTP to be adopted by the Arlington County Board. The draft document includes the 13 streets policies adopted by the County in 2007, while proposing the addition of another streets policy to address utility usage of street right-of-way. Additionally, Arlington is proposing more than 100 actions in the draft plan as part of these streets policies and to begin realizing the community’s vision for our streets. Furthermore, the draft plan details a system of Street Types that will be used to guide the future design and operation of Arlington’s streets.
Adoption of the MTP Streets Element is expected in early 2011. The draft document is available on the County Web site <http://www.arlingtonva.us/departments/EnvironmentalServices/dot/planning/mplan/mtp/MTP_Draft.aspx> .
