[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]VDOT is still taking parent input on their proposed pilot program to close the 1495 ramp weekdays from 1-7pm in an effort to discourage MD cut-through drivers and improve accessibility to our public schools and navigation in local neighborhoods.  A second VDOT meeting will be held in the Fall.  It is critical that parents show up to have their voices heard.   
 
Email VDOT at:

And copy our local representatives at:

How exactly do you expect Maryland residents to get to their jobs in VA, and why do you expect VDOT to close a ramp in the Langley area and divert traffic elsewhere in McLean and Arlington?  [/quote]

I expect them to stay out of our neighborhoods and on roads deemed appropriate for commuter traffic.  I also expect VDOT to prioritize the interests of taxpaying Virginians pay for Virginians roads over the interests of Marylanders.  Sorry but the fact that Maryland refuses to make appropriate infrastructure improvements to the AL Bridge - which they own - does not make their commute interests my priority.  When they want to add another bridge to cross the Potomac at a more northern point or make improvements to the ALB, they'll have my support.  Until then, I'm prioritizing the interestes of Virginia kids trying to get to school.  [/quote]
