Yes. It is the cat ladies of Parkfairfax who pushed through the bike lanes.

An yet Del Ray and Rosemont are THE MOST competitive real estate markets in the entire country.

Too bad so sad you live in shitty Toll Brothers TH in Sterling and spend your prime years sitting in traffic on the Greenway!

Kind of an exaggeration. but it definitely is a popular area. Also there has been a shift in the last several years. Lots of kids going to GW.

Yes, I know. We are selling our home in DelRay and moving to a custom built in Arlington. It is fun until kindergarten, and then it is time to move on.

DP. That portion of Seminary Road has very few houses directly facing the road, and most are larger houses in large lots that sit well off the road. The land of the Episcopal Seminary faces a large portion of the area, Beth El Synagogue faces the riD and is in a large lot, Alexandria Inova Hospital has a large swath of land, along with the fire station, Hammon Middle School, a shopping center, and a medical office building.

I live off Seminary Road and the problem arise from the new Army headquarters in Mark Center. Increased traffic from that building caused concern from older neighbors The City first said they would install traffic calming, similar to the extended curbs and raised median in Janney Ln (which is an extension of Seminary Rd). The next thing we knew, Alexandria said they would put in bike lanes as traffic calming devices. This seemed counter-intuitive but I trusted the city. At any rate, I went to the meeting and we were told there had been a petition signed by by cyclists to do the bike lanes. There was a good deal if opposition at the meeting from people who live off Howard, Pegram, Jordan, Saint Stephens, and Ft Williams who thought it would force more cut through traffic into neighboring streets.


I live off Saint Stephens and have noticed more traffic in the mornings trying to cut through. The bigger problem is at night. I have a caregiver for my mother and take her home after I get home from work around 6 pm. Last week, it took 20 minutes to go maybe two miles from Saint Stephen and Seminary to Seminary and Southern Towers, just off Rt 395. Getting home took about 30 minutes. Generally this takes 10-15 minutes round trip.

We live in Alexandria because our kids attend Saint Stephen Saint Agnes, but it is a poorly run city and we will move after they finish school. The only city employees who seem to know what they are doing are the trash collectors. They have been very kind to my mother who likes to chat with them on bin day.

Do any of the board members live on Seminary road? I imagine it's much quieter know with the reduced traffic volume.

Civil engineers. Transportation engineers.

Tonight’s update. I drove my car down Seminary in the bike lanes to Quaker and Janneys Lane got a few other people to join in. If you drive that stretch of road, drive half in bike lane and half in car lane.

great way to injure or kill someone, dimwit.

No one will ever use those bike lanes on Seminary Rd just like the ones aren’t used on King St. Injuries will occur in the many fender benders when traffic is backed up on Seminary by forcing a needed four lanes into two lanes.

This is rich. You justify dangerous and illegal behavior by drawing universal conclusions from your own tiny little worldview.

+1 love to see what defense that moron comes up with when he’s hauled before a judge someday........

I live in this area and think the change is idiotic and dangerous - the traffic backup basically spreads all around the hospital and fire/emergency route.

That being said, please don’t drive in the bike lanes. Jail time for manslaughter is probably not the point you’re trying to prove here. There are rarely cyclists on this road, so probably you’re safe, but seriously....

I really, really hope that this isn't true. That's appalling.
