[quote=Anonymous]I believe the percentage I read on one of the articles was that at least 40% of traffic driving through Alexandria were people passing through, people who's trip neither commenced nor would end in Alexandria, point A and point B were both somewhere else.  Waze is kicking these drivers off 495/395/ GW Parkway/ Route 1 into the streets of Alexandria for their commutes or wherever it is they want to go.  You are not going to efficiently reduce a "driving majority" by adding bike lanes and bigger sidewalks in Alexandria when almost 1/2 of the drivers in Alexandria aren't leaving or going to Alexandria.  They are using the streets of Alexandria as a short cut.  Stop with the nonsense, it is what it is.

This is a heavily populated area with people dispersed in large geographic areas.  You cannot convert these people to bike the 15-20 miles in one direction. Enough already.

I live and work in Alexandria near one of the locations a road diet was used a few years ago. The traffic is obscene now.  I hate it.[/quote]
