And the Seminary can grant an easement for a sidewalk on their land to make the sidewalk less costly.  No one is going to use it expect residents of VTS. Also, why does the city need sidewalks in that location as opposed to the many, many other sidewalks that would cost a fraction of the money and are desperately needed, but not installed because they aren't in the budget?

I walk on Seminary nearly every day so please don't tell me about my concerns.  I am one of the ONLY pedestrians I ever see during my (nearly) twice daily walks. Staff f'ed up that design.

City already repaved the west side so no "keep it at 4" anytime soon. Because they don't really care about safety. I suspect you aren't involved in city traffic and safety related issues or you would already know that.

Sidewalks on both sides are a standard part of every road. [/quote]

Ah, I know which poster you are. Sigh.

So I assume by your response that you think our priority should be use that $1.5M to get a sidewalk on at least one side of Alexandria streets where there are no sidewalks at all and residents have been waiting years for money. I can’t imagine anyone like you would disagree that those are the streets we should prioritize. Especially the ones were school kids are walking in the road itself to get to school. [/quote]

The priority should be greatly increasing the proportion of the total transportation budget that is spent on sidewalks, so that sidewalk projects don't have to compete against other sidewalk projects for the very small pot of sidewalk money.[/quote]
