[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t stand Wilson. He has his ambitions much higher than mayor, he’s waiting for Beyer to retire to run for Congress.

I’ve known him a very long time and lived in Alexandria longer. He’s a decent person but a horrible mayor.  Once he agreed to those personal bike lanes for the bike lobby on Seminary, to the tune of over $1,000,000 [b]so that the head of the bike lobby could have a bike lane that connected his house to his daughter’s house, I was done.[/b]

He’s got to go. [/quote]

Wait, what?!  :shock:  I mean I know of the Seminary Road diet, but can you share more on this?

His daughter lived off of Howard.  This bike lane allowed the grandchildren to bike from their house to his house off of Seminary and Ft Williams.  There is a pedestrian crossing literally put in front of his house. Everyone knew this was the man's motivation for pushing for the bike lane.  And Wilson was the deciding vote to allow it.  0.9 mile of bike lane to no where, to the tune of at least $1,000,000.  Best part is, now she's moved, so we don't even need those bike lanes anymore.

Do your homework.  You cannot trust Wilson. The insane amount of development.  Now they're talking about co-location at schools (putting low income house or homeless shelters literally on top of schools).  The crime is out of control.  The drag racing is insane at night; but you're damned if you can drive 1 mile over the speed limit on Seminary/Quaker/King or Janneys without getting a ticket.  They don't do radar anywhere else in the city (and guess who was responsible for the 25mph speed trap speed limit changes a few years ago: the same bike lane guy).  It's a mess, he's a mess.  He's GOT TO GO.[/quote]

+1.

He straight up lied to everyone about the co locating. The consultants hired to work on George Mason Elementary and Douglas Macarthur Elementary own documents prove he lied. They drew renderings with the co locating buildings there. Consultants don't draw plans for free. They only draw plans they get paid for. They were instructed to tease that out and then he lied about it.[/quote]
