[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s a study in ALXNow today about a woman on Taylor Run Parkway whose car has been hit several times by passing cars.   People in the street have asked the city to widen the parking lanes do there would be a buffer.  This takes only some new painted lines.  Nothing has happened

Rather than solve a real problem like this one, the City is painting lines, installing lane blocks and white pylons on a road where no one parks.

Talked about mixed priorities.

Why not #taylorrunandseminary?[/quote]

Cos the rich people on Seminary Road got what they wanted but did not need.  [/quote]

Who says they didn't need it?

And again, why not both?[/quote]

[b]Because there aren’t unlimited funds[/b] or time. And if you are the one whose and is always stating “well change that,” we have. So please stop saying that unless you plan to come help us.  [/quote]

There's plenty of money for sidewalks and protected bike lanes. It's just that they're spending it on other things, because they don't think that sidewalks and protected bike lanes are a priority.[/quote]

Can you spell this out specifically? What money in the Alexandria budget should be reallocated?[/quote]

Take a look at the transportation budget.[/quote]

Yes, but where? I am pretty familiar with the transportation budget (I assume you mean the transportation specifically and not TES as a whole- some other poster confused the two). What would you specifically reallocate?  What in that budget would you de-prioritize?  RBT? DASH? WMATA funding?  Paving?  Traffic Calming? Traffic data collection funding (inc the new Bluetooth tech?) LPI? new signalized intersections? pedestrian islands? RFPBs? HAWK signals? Crosswalks? Upgrading existing sidewalks for disability access? Staff pay? [/quote]
