PRESS RELEASE: TCA Unveils New Wayfinding Signs to Improve Navigation in Tysons 

The signage initiative was made possible through a Fairfax County Board matter introduced by Supervisor Dalia Palchik (Providence District) in March, with strong support from Supervisors Walter Alcorn (Hunter Mill District) and Jimmy Bierman (Dranesville District). The measure enabled the implementation of the wayfinding program under the County’s Zoning Ordinance.

“Placemaking is about helping people feel a sense of belonging—and that starts with feeling oriented,” said Supervisor Palchik at the event. “These signs are a beautiful and functional addition to Tysons that will help residents and visitors alike move confidently through the district.”

Following the ribbon cutting, guests participated in a guided tour of several installed signs, highlighting how the program supports improved connectivity between key destinations, including Metro stations, cultural attractions, and commercial corridors.

TCA extended its thanks to Supervisor Palchik for her leadership and to Supervisors Alcorn and Bierman for their support. The organization also acknowledged the collaboration of Fairfax County government and the Fairfax County Park Authority, whose partnership made the pilot rollout possible.

“This is a foundational moment for how people experience Tysons on foot,” said Zogg. “With 9 signs in place and more on the way, we’re excited to build a public realm that’s accessible, inspiring, and uniquely Tysons.”

The wayfinding signs are part of a broader initiative by TCA to activate public spaces, promote walkability, and reinforce Tysons’ distinct identity through place-based design.

To learn more about TCA’s work and vision, the public is invited to register for their free Annual Meeting and Open House on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. The event will feature updates on Tysons’ progress, upcoming initiatives, and opportunities to connect with leaders shaping its future.

  • Retail vacancy fell to 1.8%, while annual retail rent growth climbed 9%, solidifying Tysons’ role as a premier retail destination in the National Capital Region.
  • Total visitation rose 5% year-over-year, driven by a 9% increase in employee visits and a 4% uptick in visitor traffic, signaling renewed engagement and activity throughout the area

These trends reflect the long-term impacts of strategic investments in infrastructure, multimodal mobility, and placemaking – key drivers in Tysons’ transformation into a vibrant, mixed-use district where people live, work, and play.
