Arlington Pedestrian Advisory Committee

Do you walk in Arlington?  How about your kids and your parents? Is walking in Arlington a pleasant experience?

Would you like to walk more? Are there reasons you don't? Obstructions? Time? Safety concerns? Do you have ideas for improvements? If so, the Pedestrian Advisory Committee (PAC) wants to hear from you.  The Committee is made up of volunteers who keep the County focused on making Arlington a better place to walk -- from the high-rise canyons of Rosslyn, Ballston, and Crystal City to the leafy residential areas of North, South, and West Arlington.  Come to any Committee meeting or contact the PAC at pac@arlingtonva.us

The Pedestrian Advisory Committee advises the County Board and the County Manager on the implementation of the Pedestrian Transportation Plan and other pertinent matters the Committee deems important and to advocate for the needs of pedestrians in Arlington.

The Committee holds regular meetings, open to the public, on the second Wednesday of every month.  All meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. and end at 9:00 p.m. Meetings are held in the Birch Conference Room, on the lobby level of Courthouse Plaza, 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, unless otherwise noted. Specific PAC meeting dates and any updates can be found on the WalkArlington events page.

For issues related to sidewalks and maintenance, please contact Arlington County Environmental Services.
