Did they fix the ped signals yet? Last Wednesday night I rode through and at the streets where cyclists are to follow the ped signals (Eads, Fern, mall garage) those signals never changed. So I had to run the “red” ped signal. The ped phase needs to be set to recall not pushbutton actuated.

When will these open? I tried to undock a bike at both Innovation Ctn S and Carta Way/Sayward Blvd but was unable to as all the docked bikes were giving the error message in the app: “Sorry this bike is outside the regulatory area”. Also my CaBi key did not work either.

On 23rd Street between the Buffalo Wild Wings and the soon-to-open US Post Office (relocated from the Underground). It’s below the stairs that used to lead up to one of the since demolished skywalks of CC.

Agreed that it would be great. But I’ll believe it when I see it. A residential tower has been proposed multiple times over the years. Here’s the 2006 proposal: dcmud.blogspot.com/2006/08/jbg-...

Visited there last weekend and can confirm. Moving around Manhattan both on foot and on transit was the most pleasant I had ever experienced there.

The question going forward is will we have bold County leadership like this again? We have an opportunity with the upcoming updates to both the Master Transportation Plan & the General Land Use Plan. Will we set a transformational vision to meet the needs of Arlingtonians for the next 45 years?

This transformation was documented in the county’s 2009 (& still relevant) video on smart growth feat. Metro history author / professor @zacharyschrag.bsky.social

It shows how the planned train route was moved from the highway median to where redevelopment was desired.

Although I’m one of Ballston’s biggest boosters, I could never recommend anyone stay there. Over the years I’ve never heard anything good about the place. And that was before its use as a Jan 6th hideout. www.arlnow.com/2022/01/18/f...

The one of the very few benefits of the ongoing drought is at least the leaves aren’t wet making them even more slippery.

And this plaza is the result of a community engagement process. Granted the developer came back after approval to get administrative changes to remove some elements/features like the shade structure.

Still mad at then FFX County Chair Sharon Bulova about it. Thought it was so short sided. Plus MWAA wanted the station closer to the terminal. www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/901511/...
