[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like the left turn closed at 123/Blake lane from 7-9 am and 4-7 pm.Who do I contact? The traffic on Blake lane is terrible! It’s everyone cutting through a road with residential area only to get to 66. It’s mainly non-Fairfax county residents. It takes 30 minutes for locals to go just 2 miles. It takes 20 minutes to make a left turn onto Blake Lane from any neighborhood street at that timeframe. It’s worse in the morning with commuters causing school buses and parents to be late as they make their way to the metro. People get off at 123 and head down Blake Lane to get to metro. A residential street has become a commuters short cut.

But, it’s nit Georgetown Pike - not loads of rich people - so we’ll see if vdot looks into it. Maybe they could just add lights at every intersection, so residents can get out of their streets. [/quote]

Stop with the rich stuff.  Anyone can initiate a traffic study with VDOT which is exactly what the GTPike residents did.  This has been a two year study.  I live off Old Dominion and my neighborhood has initiated three traffic studies over the years.  One ended up in us getting speed bumps and a stop sign.  Another study got us nothing.  We have a third beginning for additional traffic calming measures.  It’s a lengthy process and takes a lot of effort but VDOT will work with you.  However, you have to assemble a traffic committee with your neighbors, garner signatures etc...   it takes commitment.  So put your whining about rich people away and get to work solving your problem! [/quote]
