The Fairfax County Bicycle Master Plan identified Little River Turnpike as a “Policy Road, ” which meant that an additional, more detailed study was needed due to the complexity of the corridor. The 2014 Transportation Priorities Plan allocated funding for the study and short-term improvements. The Little River Turnpike Bicycle Corridor Study will look at both long-term recommendations to be added to the Bicycle Master Plan and short-term recommendations to be implemented.

Fairfax County Department of Transportation previously held a community meeting on May 17, 2016, to discuss ways to improve bicycling along Little River Turnpike from the City of Fairfax to Alexandria. The purpose of the meeting was to gather information from the public on existing conditions, problem locations, and short- and long-term improvements that will make bicycling viable in this corridor.
