Veitch Street bike box goes green

Last week Arlington painted its first green bike box, at the corner of Veitch Street and Lee Highway.

The bike box was originally installed in July, but without green paint. The new green markings make the box more visible, so car drivers know to stop behind it.

Between the bike box and its new buffered bike lanes, Veitch Street has become one of Arlington’s best on-street bikeways.
