Arlington County Board has given a go-ahead to an almost $5.5 million contract to refurbish the bus stop and seating area around the Ballston Metro Station.

The project, which is a refinement of an earlier 2014 plan, will build nine bus bays, covered bus shelters, and new seating areas. "The project will expand pedestrian circulation spaces, and add real-time information displays to nine bus stops in the area," the County staff report said. "Antiquated streetlights will be upgraded, landscaping added and the existing bus driveway on Fairfax Drive will be replaced with four new saw-tooth bus bays. The North Stuart Street sidewalk will be made more accessible to persons with disabilities." The report also noted that Arlington County will take over the ownership and maintenance responsibility of the new infrastructure upon completion. In a statement, County Board Chair Christian Dorsey stated that the County will continue to improve the transportation infrastructure to go along with the County's growth. This project will be funded with a combination of federal, state, and local funds and is expected to start in early spring and last for 18 months. Another plan calls for the Ballston Metro canopy to be replaced with a public art installation, “which will consist of dozens of LEDs that can be individually programmed to respond to motion sensors that detect riders coming in and out of the station.” The county is also planning to start a project to build a second entrance to the Ballston Metro entrance.
