[quote=Anonymous]The part if Seminary Rd that is East of Rt 395 and ends at Quaker Lane was reduced from two lanes in each direction to one lane in each direction to please the bicycle lobby, only one of whom lives off Seminary Rd. He has cowled the mayor and city council into creating bike lanes by threatening them with the blind.   Allegedly, blind bicyclists (seriously) and walkers feel unsafe on Seminary Rd and need protected bike lanes as a buffer to the sidewalks.  The actual agenda is to discourage drivers in Alexandria.  The irony is that Alexandria has been successful in getting new government organizations, such as the Army Headquarters off Seminary and Beauregard to the city.  The resulting increase in traffic caused the retirees living if Semjbarr to demand traffic calming.  The leader of the bike lobby seized on this to get bike lanes in Seminary Rd.

As a result there are still no bike riders on Seminary Rd but many more frustrated drivers.  Nearby Braddock Road and Howard remain four lanes but are lightly traveled.  If bike were needed in the area, they could have been added in Braddock and connected to Seminary via Howard.  Instead one man caused the clusterfu*k on Seminary, so that he would have a bike lane to connect to his daughter’s house.
