Explore real-world street safety improvements on a guided community walk with Arlington’s Vision Zero team.

If you’re interested in transportation, urban planning, or how street design shapes everyday safety, this interactive walk offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Arlington is working to make its streets safer and more comfortable for everyone — whether walking, biking, rolling, riding transit, or driving.

Vision Zero Program Manager Christine Baker and Army Navy Drive Complete Street Project Manager Mark Dennis will highlight real-world engineering solutions implemented along this busy corridor, including multimodal safety upgrades and design strategies that support Arlington’s goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

We will meet above ground at the east entrance of the Pentagon City Metro station near South Hayes Street between Army Navy Drive and 15th Street South.

The walk will cover approximately 1 1/3 miles and will conclude near the Crystal City Metro station.

People of all ages and abilities are welcome. The walk will take approximately two hours to allow time for discussion and questions. We will incorporate at least one seated stop along the route.

If you have questions about accessibility or would like to request a reasonable accommodation, please email info@walkarlington.com or call 703-597-7298 by April 13, 2026.

Participants are welcome to join for as much of the walk as their schedule allows.
