[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it will help the traffic on the inner loop and that may help all those people cutting through get on earlier and not lose any extra time. They can get on at 123.[/quote]

Terrible idea. That’s sending people on the outskirts of Tysons into the center of Tysons in their cars to get on the Beltway. Exactly what the Tysons planners have been trying to discourage, and making it that much harder for those who have no alternative than to take 123 to get to Vienna, Oakton and Fairfax.[/quote]

That’s silly!  Those on the outskirts can take the DTR to the Beltway which is what they should be doing and what Tyson’s developers intended!   The DTR entrance is right there and a mile from 123!  [/quote]

Nope. Either way you are suggesting people should be required to drive further into Tysons than they otherwise would and create additional traffic back-ups in both directions on 123, so that there’s less traffic in your neighborhood from people who are headed in the opposite direction from Tysons.  That is not what the Tysons developers intended, or want. [/quote]

Then go down 123 the other way and get on George Washington Parkway and get on the beltway that way.  Eliminating one of the access points to the beltway will help traffic on the beltway.  It is supposed to be a limited access road.   Having three access points back to back to back is one of the reasons it is choking there.

That would send people through the center of McLean, and other residential neighborhoods, to take an extended detour north on the GW Parkway to get on 495.  You’d have the MD commuters further jamming the route taken by most DC commuters to Tysons. Another bad idea. [/quote]

No. View a map. [/quote]
