[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Very few townhouses and no apartments are zoned to Langley, and there is nothing modest about trying to offload the traffic in your area onto other neighborhoods. It’s the height of arrogance.[/quote]

Yes! This! Does the special interest group that is lobbying this asinine cause think that the rest of us in the DMV don’t sit in standstill traffic during the rush hours? Try traversing the Lewinsville/123 intersection or the Kirby/Westmoreland intersection during rush hour and you will see that we face the same issues on the other side of McLean. Langley folks are getting a bad rap on this issue because their attitude is essentially “not in my backayard”. [/quote]

Your issue is not the same at all because it involves other VA drivers using VA roads.  The Langley area situation is completely about [b]MD drivers using the local roads to gain access to the beltway, when they could use the toll road to do so.  [/b][/quote]

You are wrong. Tysons growth & high tolls on both the HOT lanes on I-66, combined with the invention of Waze, has flooded all of our local roads with DC and Maryland commuters. Unfortunately, we all have to share in the burden of living in a desirable area. One neighborhood alone cannot escape. [/quote]
