It's certainly easier to cross Maple than to cross major roads in Tysons.  It is no easier to cross Maple than to cross a typical street in DC, much less walk along Maple.  It is not that inviting a place to walk, and only a fraction of the homes in the Town of Vienna are within close enough distance of amenities that residents will regularly walk to them.  That's one reason why so many cars are on the streets and the new houses are built with two and three-car garages.  Of course, Maple Avenue/123 is also a huge commuter route, so you get the additional traffic heading in both directions.  And, of course, the Vienna Metro is far enough away that most people in the Town who want to use it have to drive to get there.

That is similar to parts of North Arlington, but also very different from other parts of North Arlington where you really can live a car-free lifestyle if you are so inclined.[/quote]

I live in NW Vienna; in town.  I am less than a mile from Whole foods.  I can not walk to Metro, but I can walk (1/8th a mile) to a bus stop that will take me to metro.  There was six months where I was not allowed to drive (seizures), and I lived walking.  Getting to work then took less than  1 hr:  bus and metro.[/quote]
