The project to bury power lines underground in downtown McLean is moving forward ahead of schedule, the McLean Planning Committee discussed on Wednesday evening at the McLean Community Center.

Next spring, several sidewalks around the intersection of Old Dominion Drive and Chain Bridge Road will be converted from cement to brick, too.

Grant money will be used for "streetscaping," including lighting design and pedestrian crosswalks.

In other business, the committee passed a resolution asking the Virginia Department of Transportation to conduct a traffic study by counting cars on several congested McLean streets.

The group also expressed concerns about the traffic and the amount of parking at the new Chipotle, located at 6707 Old Dominion Dr., in downtown McLean, but took no action on that agenda item.
