[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live near that area and didn't fight the duplex but any house built over there should have its own garage.  Harrison Street is basically a thoroughfare and that part of it regularly gets backed up due to drivers needing to pull over to one side or the other because street parkers narrow the thoroughfare down to one lane.  Adding more parkers to the street there will only exacerbate that already existing issue.  [/quote]

Just noting again fwiw that to me fighting this duplex wasn't crazy.  There are no sidewalks on this part of Harrison, and having cars parked on either side of the road here turns this into basically a one lane street.  Drivers regularly need to pull over and make way for someone coming the other way to drive through.  And this is Harrison, a pretty busy road that people use to get up to the grocery all the time etc.  I walk by here a bunch and since there are no sidewalks have had issues with cars almost running into me.  Making a situation where there is going to be more street parking on this stretch would not be great. IMHO any house built here should have its own garage for parking to keep cars off the street, or at least a driveway.

House on 15th street is similar, it's adjacent to the traffic circle, which drivers regularly go the wrong way around wut is wrong with people?

This is very common throughout Arlington- both the lack of sidewalks, and the fact that it’s a yield street.  You could always ask your neighbors to park in their driveways if you’re concerned.[/quote]
