No thanks Justin, I don’t want to view this video.  It’s politics as usual in Alexandria. So much talk, no action.  It’s not as if the council didn’t have over a decade to get this done.

This might out me, but in the mid 2000s I was in a meeting with WMATA and their general counsel and the topic of a Potomac yard metro stop came up.  He told me, well it will never happen, not in my (his) lifetime because: 1) Alexandria City has to pay for it, and 2) well Alexandria can never get their act together ever.  Don’t count on it.

That was back when Euille was fighting to have our client/developer pay for the straightening of Monroe Avenue/ Rt 1 and build that bridge.  And build Potomac Avenue.  We paid, you don’t want to know the price tag. 
 
Now 15+ years later, we still got nothing.  What in the world is there left to talk about?  Why are there still meetings?  SMH[/quote]

No one in Alexandria screws up like WMATA screws up though. [/quote]
