[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It must’ve been voted in, what about all the people who voted for it?[/quote]

1200 residents of Alexandria signed a petition for it.

[/quote]

I would like to know if each and every signature was actually an Alexandria resident. There were bike advocacy groups who had nothing to do with Alexandria in the hearings and asking people to come.   The Seminary Hill residents did not want this.  The fire station and hospital down the street also didn't want this. It's a huge headache, all for some bike lanes to get some federal money.  The City Council didn't want this, and then Justin broke the tie.  He is just waiting for Beyer to retire and then he is running for his Congressional Seat.  Help us![/quote]

Every single one was from Alexandria.     There  were no bike advocacy groups from outside the City at any Council hearing.   Many Seminary Hill residents supported it.  The Fire dept said it was okay, and the hospital did not object.

There is no federal money involved, its part of the regular repaving budget.  3 council members supported it, 3 opposed. Justin has a vote on the Council also. Thats how the ALX Council works.

You are wrong.  I was at the hearings and the person next to me owns a bike shop on Columbia Pike and  lives in Arlington.   A group of bicyclists who are part of the HON (Hills of North Arlington) were also there.  I know two of them.   Other than the dude on Fort Williams Parkway, who supported it from "Seminary Hills," which -- if you are actually an Alexandria resident -- should know is an apartment building full of Ethiopian and Eritrean emigres.    Are you talking about the Seminary Ridge neighborhood that borders that part of Seminary Road.[/quote]

You seem confused.

Goodness, wrong twice.  Seminary Hill is a civic association composed of neighborhoods around Seminary Ridge.   Now, please post the link showing the support from many residents of the Seminary Hill CIVIC ASSOCIATION.  Because I am a member and few supported the plan.  [/quote]
