Welcome!

There are three parts to this public engagement opportunity for the S Dinwiddie Street and 22nd Street S Intersection Project:

1. Project Background and Goals
   • Why this project? Why now? We answer these questions below.
2. Concept Design and Your Feedback
   • See the concept design and its features.
   • Share your thoughts on the design.

This engagement opportunity is open through April 27. Your feedback will help finalize the plan, along with other available information, such as plan guidance and crash data.

Additionally, join us virtually on Tuesday, April 22 from 7:00 - 8:30 PM to learn more about this project.

About the Project

An intersection improvement project to include new curb extensions, curb ramps, and pedestrian markings with a reduced pedestrian crossing distance across 22nd Street South.

Project Goals

• Improve the curb ramps and reduce the distance of the pedestrian crossing at the southern half of this “T” intersection.
• Improve visibility and awareness of this intersection for people walking, driving, and taking transit.

Any proposed design elements, including any potential narrowing of the roadway, will depend on the movement of school and transit bus vehicles that travel across this corridor.

All proposed design elements must comply with county standards, specifications and engineering best practices.

Project Basis

The Neighborhood Complete Streets program has received multiple community nominations to address different segments of South Dinwiddie Street between South Walter Reed Drive and South George Mason Drive. For clarity and analysis, these segments have been consolidated to a single road segment – South Dinwiddie between South Walter Reed Drive and South George Mason Drive.

South Dinwiddie Street was scored by staff using the Project Ranking Guidelines and scored highly, and was recommended for concept design and public engagement by the Neighborhood Complete Streets Commission.

The Neighborhood Complete Streets project will focus on the 22nd Street intersection, as it remains wide and unmarked.

Nearby Projects

• Intersection Improvements: The intersections at 23rd, 24th, and 25th Streets South have had previous treatments to narrow lane widths, apply pavement markings and signage, and reduce turning radii while still enabling buses to travel.
• Vision Zero School Slow Zone: South Dinwiddie between Chesterfield Road and South George Mason Drive is part of the Vision Zero School Slow Zone for Claremont Elementary and Wakefield High School. In fall 2021, the area was a pilot, which was formalized in 2024 as a permanent reduction in speed from 25mph to 20mph.
