FYI, Arlington cyclists: The new two-way cycle track on Army-Navy Drive in Pentagon City is a serious upgrade. It will be more of one once the cycle track alongside Columbia Pike past the Air Force Memorial opens, but that looks several months out.

Photo shows the new trail, its pavement looking fresh, with trees and shops to the right. A historical marker in the foreground recounts how this area was previously home to a Black neighborhood named Queen City until the federal government evicted residents to make way for the Pentagon.

Arlington does have an eviction prevention/emergency financial assistance program, but there is far greater need than the resources available.

Folks should contact 703-228-1300 or [email protected] to explore this option/see what other programs might be available
