[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]youngkin is going to have to pony up for Metro to even keep the PY station opened, much less allow for the kind of service necessary to make the arena remotely viable

Or he could tell metro he'll contribute even less if they close the station.  [/quote]

We just saw upthread that the proposal is to limit access to 4,000 cars. Good luck getting 20,000 people and all of the concession workers into the arena without metro.[/quote]

I think on the call last night, Wilson said 3200 spaces. Whatever the number is, it would be less than the combined total of the current spaces in the strip mall added to the (past) movie theater spaces. Thus the "net loss."

Someone on Alxnow said this could be a fantastic opportunity for Alexandria to benefit from tow-sharks preying on those parking illegally. That would be a good revenue source! :) [/quote]

It seems like a great way to ensure that local business die. [/quote]

Utter nonsense. People coming to the arena will either take transit, or pay a premium for a rare spot.

And those local businesses that have their own parking, will be happy to not have arena-users illegally park in their lots.

PY will be a traffic disaster for 80 plus days a year, at least.[/quote]

And empty otherwise. Seems a small price to pay to clear out the traffic.[/quote]

It's not empty now. That shopping center is packed every day all day. I live close by and find myself there several times a week, often multiple times a day. I actually need to run over there to go to Pet Smart tonight.[/quote]

I live in old town and try to do all of my local errands on foot right near me, but I am still at PY at least 1-3 times weekly. No matter what time of day or night I go, it’s generally crowded and the traffic on route one right near there is a mess already. Weekends are chaos with all of the soccer fields full. [/quote]
