Google maps (2012) seems to show me side walks on and off along Lee Highway and even more frustrating, do not seem to even stay on the same side of the street (so lots of crossing back and forth just to stay on a side walk). Now this is what I see from 2012, so have things changed since than? How walkable do you consider Lee Highway about 1-2 miles outside of Vienna all the way to the metro? Bikable? Are there alternative routes from Lee Highway that don't add high amounts of mileage?

Just curious as I am always interested in walkability to all the metro stations. (some are really bad actually)

I looked at the map again - I am wondering if Idylwood, Cedar, Park, Kingsley, all north of Lee Hwy, is a better route, and does not add much more distance as well.

I'm not sure if there are continuous sidewalks on Lee or not, but I definitely see people walking there - there's a crosswalk at Lee and the Pan Am shopping center. Kingsley would definitely have sidewalks, and it's completely residential.

Its disturbing to me that there's no outrage in people that within 1-2 miles of a major and popular metro station there are discontinuous sidewalks.

Invest in a bike. There are bikeable sidewalks all around the Vienna metro. If this disturbs you I could not imagine what really disturbs you.

The portion that doesn't have a sidewalk on lee highway is between the ihop on picket and nutley street and lee highway. One mile outside of the vienna metro is very walkable without crossing over too much.
