a raised median to create a “refuge” for walkers, runners and bikers; provide painted crossing; widen the mouth of the Trail between the stop bars and the crosswalk; and, improve signage for motorists and W&OD Trail users. These actions are being taken under the Parks and Recreation section of the Town of Herndon Comprehensive Plan.

The Plan includes a mandate to manage a capital program for recreational resources in Herndon, including:

ii. Provide improved lighting, maintenance, and surface treatment of trails between parks for hiking, biking and jogging.
iii. Study alternatives and construct W&OD Trail crossing enhancements at Crestview Drive, Ferndale Road, and Grace Street.
iv. Design and install lighting along the W&OD Trail in the Herndon downtown area.
