Good idea! Why not stop by the mayor's house on Aspen street and ask if he'd like to bike it with you!

1200 residents of Alexandria signed a petition for it.



I would like to know if each and every signature was actually an Alexandria resident. There were bike advocacy groups who had nothing to do with Alexandria in the hearings and asking people to come. The Seminary Hill residents did not want this. The fire station and hospital down the street also didn't want this. It's a huge headache, all for some bike lanes to get some federal money. The City Council didn't want this, and then Justin broke the tie. He is just waiting for Beyer to retire and then he is running for his Congressional Seat. Help us!



Every single one was from Alexandria. There were no bike advocacy groups from outside the City at any Council hearing. Many Seminary Hill residents supported it. The Fire dept said it was okay, and the hospital did not object.

There is no federal money involved, its part of the regular repaving budget. 3 council members supported it, 3 opposed. Justin has a vote on the Council also. Thats how the ALX Council works.


I know Mr. D who lives at Seminary and Ft. Williams, who was behind the entire campaign and I know why he wanted that tiny stretch of bike lanes, to connect his adult child's house off of Howard to his house. That's it. He was behind the King Street bike lanes, the Quaker and Seminary speed limit changes and the reconfiguration of upper King Street. He's told me himself all about his plan, for years. He basically gets whatever he wants for bike lanes and I don't know how he does but he does. And the City definitely does get federal money for every bike lanes. The City process doesn't work the way it should, we've been asking for speed bumps, more stop signs, traffic light timing changes, in our neighborhood, I've gone to traffic and parking board hearings, and the city is all too bad so sad, but NO. And there were bike advocacy groups, ride share companies, scooter companies and nonAlexandria residents involved, when they don't even live here.

The bike lane advocates are like a cult, like Bernie Bros, like Trumpsters. It's their ideas 100% for everyone, nothing less. I want Justin out now, and I definitely never want him as my congressional rep.

This is some humor for you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/425177998146925


That Facebook group is nuts.

Its crowded basically one hour or so a day in each direction - weekday peak only (and of course not on Friday). Its usually a shorter delay, even at those times, than OP indicates.

And thats despite the project barely being finished, drivers not having learned yet how to drive through it, and the City having not yet tweaked the signals.

People are trying to poison the well by spreading anecdotes on every social media platform they can find.

And yes, its all about politics - most of them hate Wilson for several other reasons.

There was no vote by the population, just a council vote. Polls taken had strongly, strongly, strongly supported keeping the road for cars.


Exactly. That’s why all those fools need to be voted out of office.

I drive this commute regularly, will be driving up there at 5:30pm and it is miserable. This was a huge mistake.

Anyone else following the debacle that is the new Bike lanes on Seminary Road in Alexandria?

The mayor basically vetoed the will of the people and removed vehicle lanes for bike lanes. The resulting traffic has made formerly 2 minute commutes now 15-20 minutes and not a single bicycle has been seen in the new bike lanes.

People are screaming for his head on a pike.

Hilarious to watch this young kid torpedo his career over something so stupid.
