ReplyDoes seem rather NIMBY and a lacking in a sense of scale of the risk involved.

Matt, excellent point. We have and continue to devote huge amounts of money, time, and energy, not to mention lifestyle choices, to the automobile. Choosing to open our transportation options up, even just a little, strikes me as good sense.

ReplyI see dozens of bike commuters every morning on my ride into work. I suspect if each of you were regularly on a bike, you'd notice them, too. I don't see how increasing our commuting options is social engineering. We're not asking commuters to listen to Limbaugh on their way to work. The point is to give them options.

ReplyIf we're going to spend money on more manufactured housing units, maybe we could invest in something like these -- http://www.solardecathlon.gov/gallery_houses.html -- instead, and make the community a step toward a carbon neutral future? Efficient, and they look nice, too.

Agreed. The county needs plan for and implement the infrastructure we'll need to accommodate more density. Something like what Arlington is doing in the Ballston-Rossyln corridor.

Ms. Foley, you seem especially perturbed by this proposal. Are you content with traffic on Rt 1? If not, do you have another solution to the traffic woes and pollution in this area?

Call me crazy, but the idea is to make bus transit more safe and appealing, so that overall traffic is reduced.

I'd devote one of the lanes in each direction to rapid bus transit, increase the number of buses traveling those routes, and place secure bike facilities at each stop so that riders can travel further on their own to get to the stops.
