Participate in the Pickett Road Safety Audit
The city is conducting a safety audit of Pickett Road and we need your input. Please pin locations on the interactive map on Engage Fairfax to share any locations of concern along this corridor.
You are also invited to an open house on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at Historic Blenheim, to share your input with city staff. Drop by between 5-7 p.m.
The completed road safety audit will recommend a combination of short- and long-term safety countermeasures. Some improvements may be implemented through maintenance and spot improvements, while larger projects may require additional analysis, concept development, and funding identified through the city’s Two-Year Transportation Program.
