Duke St from Little River Turnpike & Braddock Rd to Market Square

Duke St from Little River Turnpike & Braddock Rd to Market Square This rides started early on a weekday morning heading eastward, hoping to beat traffic. I apologize for the sun. Alexandria has big plans for "Duke Street in Motion", transforming this notorious stroad into a multi-modal transit super highway. We shall see. Duke is a long way from that hope, but, with a bit of traffic tolerance and route-finding finesse, it is bike-able. Any trip down the length of Duke is necessarily going to require some improvisation, so this route is by no means a final or correct or official path. I used the sidewalk and service roads wherever I did not feel secure in the roadway. Crossing exit/entrance ramps near S Van Dorn and Telegraph Rd are especially sketchy. Duke intersects with virtually every important north-south bike path, existing or proposed. However, accessing them may be difficult. Eastbound, Duke offers easy access to Holmes Run Trail and Telegraph Rd. Heading west, Yale Drive and E Taylor Parkway are accessible, for example, but not so much from the other direction. Either way, near S Van Dorn, there are a number of push button strobe lights marking ramp crossings that may or may not work - at the very least annoying if not dangerous. Crossing Duke is a chore with a median and barricades for much of its length. While there's an interchange-like ramp for cars to exit and enter Duke from Ben Brenman Park Dr, pedestrians and bikers are blocked from crossing by a barricade for a quarter of a mile in either direction at Somervelle St. Woe to residents of Cameron Station who might want to read a book at the Burke Library or walk their dog in the adjacent park. Duke Street's 'enhanced bicycle facility' ends at Holland Lane, but I find it safe riding in traffic all the way to S Royal St. For less intrepid souls, jog right on Dulaney to Jamieson Ave heading east, or, a block further on, turn left (with a good deal of caution) on to Reineckers Lane if the King Street Station is your destination.
