[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Carpet? Yuck. Frankly I'd rather live in McLean than Vienna any day.[/quote]

M[b]aple street is beyond annoying.  I have to go there for some errands and I wouldn’t want to live there to deal with it daily[/quote][/b]

+1.  huge problem with Vienna - you have only one avenue of ingress and egress.[/quote]

This is just incorrect and anyone that lives in Vienna knows how to get around Maple. [/quote]

You’re both wrong.  No one who lives in Vienna doesn’t end up spending a ton of time stuck in traffic on Maple, even if you can avoid it some of the time.

For example, I could avoid Maple going to work, but I couldn’t avoid it running errands or dropping my kid off at ES or HS. People in Vienna make a huge deal about Church Street but that’s not where 95% of the amenities are located. [/quote]

Sorry your location seems to force you to take that route, but that's not my experience as a Vienna resident. The places I run errands can be reached without spending much time on Maple - groceries, school, gym, Home Depot, restaurants.

Yes, there's Church Street, but there's plenty of other routes you can take if you really want to avoid Maple that much. I do spend some time on Maple, but not more than any other major road in other places I've lived.

Point is, it's not a "huge problem" with only "one avenue of ingress and egress," nor are "95% of amenities" located on Maple. That's all hyperbole and you should try learning your way around without GPS.[/quote]

As I said, PP was wrong, but you're minimizing the fact that everyone who lives in Vienna ends up spending a good amount of time stuck in traffic in Vienna running errands.  And, yes, the vast majority (we could quibble about the exact percentage) of the amenities in Vienna are along Maple.  They are there to attract the eyeballs of all the commuters heading west from DC and then Tysons on Route 123 (Maple), which is why traffic on Maple is what it is. [/quote]
