[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Noted the markings this morning, and, yes, they are designed to be read from an aerial orientation, so, there is not an error.

Would LOVE some speedbumps on 5th Road S, and [b]my dream would be for S Carlin Springs to be one lane in each direction from Columbia Pike up to 50 with a bike lane on each side[/b] to create some measurable degree of a barrier between the road and the sidewalk. We walk my child to his bus stop across S Carlin Springs, and it feels like you are risking your life walking that sidewalk. It will probably only be a matter of time before an unnecessary tragedy, which is terrible. [/quote]

one lane on Carlin Springs would be a nightmare. Reducing the capacity of a road people complain is too heavily trafficked and backed-up is not a good solution.[/quote]

I understand it may not be popular, but, if I have to pick between a fatality, and people re-routing and using other routes that aren't needing to access the neighborhoods and area schools, I will pick less lanes with people figuring out how to re-route themselves. In the absence of consistent/dedicated enforcement by the police, there needs to be some type of deterrent that enhances the safety on that road. [/quote]

What alternative routes do you propose for people taking Carlin Springs from the Pike to 50? or Route 7 to 50? Meanwhile everyone living in Glencarlyn can keep using Carlin Springs to get out of the neighborhood and go in either direction whenever they want, while other neighborhoods get more jammed up with the re-routed traffic. All of the major roads in Arlington cannot be one lane each way with bike and pedestrian lanes.  Major arteries are major arteries and Carlin Springs happens to be a fairly major artery.[/quote]
