SB: "Sharrows are just paint and paint is not infrastructure" Yes!!!
VM: "Be forewarned, at 9:05 at night, there will be a line of cars on King Street with parents driving their kids to get something to eat at the McDonalds." Hmmm, ok, that's their choice.
I hope your parents will be ok. My niece who is pregnant left Tampa today with her 3 children. They have a place to stay in the Jacksonville area.
Something to consider in City of Alexandria's Z4H Phase 2: “No single legislative action did more to contribute to housing creation than the elimination of parking minimums.” - Director of City Planning, Minneapolis, MN nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/10/02/o...@alyia4alx.bsky.social
I was in NC and did not hear the crash on Sunday. A friend said it was quite a noise! They thought it was a lightning strike. Fortunately, their neighbor checked and called 911.
This replaces an earlier post about a crash on Seminary Road on Sunday, 09/22.The crash occurred on the north side of Seminary Road, between Trotter Road and St Stephens Road. Hopefully, APD and/or @corbie.bsky.social will provide updates, e.g. what happened to vehicle occupant(s).
Good news. Friends have indicated that the driver of the vehicle which crashed off Seminary Rd on Sunday was not only alive but expected to be okay. That is good to hear! @corbie.bsky.social
The nearby pedestrian refuge island and bike lane infrastructure appeared undamaged, and hence did not likely play any role in the crash on Sunday. Seminary Rd was closed while Dominion crews replaced a utility pole that had been sheared in half. Perhaps @corbie.bsky.social can learn more. 3/3
