[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They’re talking about the area from glebe to Lexington Street on Langston. This is already a busy area, no idea how it will support the traffic. However at least the schools are less crowded in that area. [/quote]

OP asked about areas feeding into W-L.   Most of that area is Yorktown

The Langston Blvd Alliance is focusing on the entire corridor, not just Glebe to Lexington.  With the many individual owners of those commercial buildings, it will be difficult.   The Alliance is also focusing on intersections

At Veitch (Moms Organic Market) and Langston, a plan is underway to build a high rise facing Rt 66 but part of the land belongs to VIDOT, so good
luck getting it back.   The most promising is the  Air Force building just a little east with a plan to convert it to housing for indigent veterans.

Every other intersection has issues (like Spout Run under the Lyon Village shopping center preventing building of underground parking) to owner at southeast corner of Langston and Glebe holding out for top dollar.

Like the old Arlington family that owned Barcroft Apartments, the heirs eventually want the money.   Lots of heirs along Langston but it will take time. [/quote]
