Introduction

The City of Alexandria is excited to announce the kick-off of Duke Street IN MOTION, an 18-month project focused on ensuring that transit improvements in the Duke Street corridor, from the Landmark Mall area to the King Street Metro Station, align with all users’ needs, wants, and expectations. This project will build on previous studies and gather additional community input that will be used to create a final plan.

Your voice matters! Community input will be used to create a vision for this corridor and steer the eventual outcome of this effort, including potential bus, bicycle, pedestrian, micromobility (for example, shared electric bikes and scooters), and other improvements that can enhance conditions for all travelers along the Duke Street corridor.

This Feedback Form

On this feedback form, we are asking you a set of questions that will help the City of Alexandria formulate a community vision and goals for the Duke Street IN MOTION process. The vision and goals will be used in the next steps of the process, to weigh the pros and cons (or trade-offs) of different options.
  • We will ask you a series of questions about your experiences on Duke Street, and what you would like to see in the future.
  • Though the focus of this project is transit improvements, we want to hear about all of your experiences traveling along or to Duke Street, since the City will consider complementary improvements to facilities for walking, riding a bicycle, driving, using a scooter, and other ways to get around the corridor.
  • We will compile and summarize all feedback we receive through this form, as well as comments received at other discussions, the webinar, pop-up events, and via email.
  • We will share a summary with the Duke Street corridor community so that you can see what we heard!
Please note that answer options are provided on this feedback form, but they are only a starting point – we want to hear how YOU experience traveling along Duke Street and what YOU hope to see in Duke Street’s future.

Thank you for joining us for this important first public input opportunity to help create the community-developed vision for Duke Street IN MOTION!
