Abstract
Article by David Lerman entitled "Will Bypass Handle Traffic" dated June 11, 1986 from The Connection. This article discusses a proposed bypass from Springfield, Virginia through Reston, Virginia. This bypass, known today as Fairfax County Parkway, was constructed from 1987 through 2001. In this article, Lerman address concerns of residents from Burke and Reston concerning the design of the bypass. Most were concerned that the four-lane bypass couldn't handle the daily traffic projected. Many believed it would have to be extended to six lanes in the future. Some residents addressed concerns over the size of the median and desired it be reduced from forty-two to eighteen feet. Planned Community Archives Collection, 638.02.02
