Nan's Notes
2010-05-26 SPEAK UP ABOUT TRAFFIC--The Commonwealth Transportation Board is asking for citizen input on their 6-year plan. It will hold an open house in northern Virginia on May 26 from 6-7 p.m. with a chance to speak at 7 at Fairfax Hall, 10455 Armstrong Street. Also, send recommendations by June 11 to drptpr@drpt.virginia.gov.
2010-04-22 The Northern VA Streetcar Coalition met chaired by Tim Lovaine held a panel including speakers from the area: Steve Daljudis says Arlington plans to build the Columbia Pike 2016 and Crystal City 2010 lines in 5 years with federal funding, Rich Baier & Abi Lerner said Alexandria is talking with Congress Moran about funding a feasibility study focused on Potomac Yard and then West End, Leonard Wolfenstein reported that Fairfax has no plans for street cars and sees the Metro silver line, HOT Lanes, and toll roads as the solution. The current economic/political situation now favors street cars over BRT per Tim Lovaine.
2010-03-31 The City must prepare a Transportation Demand Management plan for the State of Virginia, so the City’s Department of Transportation & Environmental Services hired Cambridge Systematics in Bethesda MD for $100,000 to survey citizens and civic groups. Project manager is Agnes Muszynska amuszynska@camsys.com.
2010-01-14: The Episcopal High School CFO Boota de Butts reported to the SHA Board of Directors that the City denied the school’s request to have cross walks at its West Braddock pedestrian gate. It has applied for a blinking light and considering moving its pedestrian access to the stoplight at Marlee Way and West Braddock Road.
