Lane Closure Pilot for Oakridge Elementary School Pick-up & Drop-off

In partnership with Arlington Public Schools, Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services is piloting a temporary lane closure along 24th Street South between South Ode Street and South Nash Street, to improve arrival and dismissal operations.

 

This temporary street closure will go into effect 30 minutes prior to the start of school and 30 minutes prior to dismissal. This will help with pedestrian safety and access and help with facilitating school bus operations.

 

Start Date: Monday, August 29 

Hours:

Drop-off: 8:30am to 9:00am

Pick-up: 3:20pm to 3:50pm.

 

Arlington staff will monitor safety and usage throughout the duration of the pilot. Cones and signage will be used for the temporary closure and to allow easy access for local traffic, emergency vehicles, and school buses. This pilot is part of Arlington County’s Vision Zero goal to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while ensuring safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. Everyone depends on a safe transportation network to reach their destination. Vision Zero provides an opportunity to work toward a safer transportation system for all through commitment and intention.
