Fact.

Laughable - about as convincing as the claim that Langley “carries a good chunk of Fairfax.” What babies.

Namecalling is not helping your cause.

Yup. Blame the rich people. How convenient. And transparent. For those who think Langley is not carrying you - how cute.

NP here. Not a good look for you “Langley people.”

It’s everyone cutting through a road with residential area only to get to 66. It’s mainly non-Fairfax county residents. It takes 30 minutes for locals to go just 2 miles. It takes 20 minutes to make a left turn onto Blake Lane from any neighborhood street at that timeframe. It’s worse in the morning with commuters causing school buses and parents to be late as they make their way to the metro. People get off at 123 and head down Blake Lane to get to metro. A residential street has become a commuters short cut.

But, it’s nit Georgetown Pike - not loads of rich people - so we’ll see if vdot looks into it. Maybe they could just add lights at every intersection, so residents can get out of their streets.

The Langley/Great Falls crowd expects special treatment. Whether it's keeping the poor kids out of their schools, keeping their kids out of the schools with poor kids, or keeping Maryland cars off roads near their homes.

If VDOT closes this ramp, the traffic won't magically disappear. It will just spill over into other neighborhoods in McLean, Falls Church, and Arlington that already have their fair share of traffic. If Arlington and Fairfax politicians allow this, they should be removed from office.

Okay, so somehow it is preferable if the traffic affects the nicer neighborhood? The one that carries a good chunk of Fairfax County? Hilarious.

Sorry if this is stating the obvious, but these areas off Georgetown Pike no longer sound like the "nicer neighborhoods." In 2018, less car-dependent neighborhoods with more commuting options are "nicer."
