Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
You
would
take
to
make
biking
better
and
safer
in
Arlington,
so
some
of
these
ideas
that
we've
already
been
discussing
are
obviously
good
ones
but
feel
free
to
throw
out
others.
I
will
start.
My
name
is
Cynthia
Palmer
I've
just
done
two
all-nighters.
So
if
I'm
not
making
sense,
my
apologies
and
I
would
focus
on
on
intersection
safety.
I
think
that
Arlington
has
some
wonderful
bike,
Lanes
bike
paths
and
they
are
wrecked
by
dangerous,
intersections
and
lpis
to
especially
two
second
lpis
are
not
the
solution.
A
Do
not
make
it
safe
and
I'll,
stop
there
and
go
through
the
list.
So
why
don't
we
I'm
looking
at
the
list
of
participants?
Why
don't
we
take
those
on
the
phone
first
since
they're
listed
first,
so
we
will
start
with
the
phone
number
ending
in
8
9
and
then
the
next
one
will
be
the
phone
number
five
three
ending
in
five
three.
You
can
introduce
yourself
and
say
what
what
is
one
of
your
priorities?
If
you
were
the
incoming
director
of
Transportation.
A
B
Can
you
hear
me
yes,
great
I
can
see
people
on
my
computer,
but
because
we
are
working
from
home
at
Nova
Parks,
our
headquarters
are
being.
B
That's
audio
working
or
not,
but
I'm
Anne
I'm,
the
new
community
engagement
manager
with
Nova
parks,
and
that
is
indeed
my
work.
Iphone
number
that
I'm
calling
in
to
get
audio
on
and
I'll
get
into
it
a
little
bit
later.
But
I
guess
my
priority
for
Burlington
bicycling
is
dual
trails
and
I'm
happy
to
talk
about
that
in
a
little
bit.
But
thank
you
so
much
for
inviting
me
and
allowing
me
to
speak.
F
E
The
Washington
Area
Bicycle
Association,
like
on
I,
am
also
a
new
new-ish
sort
of
and
I
am,
while
the
newest
in
First
Virginia,
organizer
and.
F
E
Do
think
I
will
have
a
little
bit
of
time
later
in
the
meeting
to
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
that
means,
but
in
terms
of
the
intro
question,
what
I
would
want
to
focus
on
I
think
it'd
be
really
interesting
to
look
at
like
metrics,
for
how
people
are
getting
to
certain
like
recreational
facilities
like
libraries
or
community
centers
or
pools
or
whatever,
and
just
to
try
to
see
like
how
how
folks
are
getting
to
those
like
very
critical.
E
You
know
publicly
accessible
spaces
to
me.
That
seems
like
a
really
good
place
to
start
trying
to
encourage
you
know
additional
mode
shifts,
and
you
know
sort
of
like
a
ready-made
audience
and
I
will
stop
there.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you,
and
next
we
have
Jillian.
B
Hi
I
am
Jillian,
Burgess
I
live
in
Cherrydale
and
I'm
passionate
about
so
you've
been
sustainable,
Transportation
I
would
I'm
a
little
torn
because
the
fiscally
responsible
side
of
me
would
just
would
prioritize
marking
the
existing
network
of
neighborhood
bikeways,
which
would
be
such
a
cheap
and
easy
project,
and
we
could
do
it
tomorrow.
B
But
the
more
passionate
advocate
in
me
would
would
make
it
safe
to
bike
to
all
of
the
schools
in
the
area,
starting
with
high
schools
and
then
middle
schools,
which
Not
only
would
you
know,
help
get
kids
to
school
in
a
in
a
healthy
way
in
a
more
sustainable
way,
more
ready
to
learn.
It
would
help
the
County's
budget
because
it
could
reduce
school
buses,
but
also
it
could
help
deal
with
the
mental
health
issues
we're
seeing
in
our
kids,
which
are.
C
G
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Antonio
Rossi
I'm,
a
contractor
for
County
I'm,
with
Community
Services
working
on
the
micro
Mobility
Program.
Regarding
this
intro
question,
I'm
I
bike,
the
Arlington
Boulevard
Trail
and
Bluemound
Junction
trail
quite
frequently
for
work
purposes,
and
one
of
my
qualms
with
that
is
there's
a
lot
of
intersections
with
roads
whereby
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
need
to
stop
and
I'd
feel
more
so
that
they
should
get
the
right
away
in
those
instances
to
promote
by
connectivity.
A
Agreed
all
right:
next,
we
have
Brian
Shelton.
H
Hey
good
evening,
everybody,
my
name
is
Brian
I'm,
an
intern
working
for
the
Department
of
Environmental,
Services,
Transportation,
Planning,
accs
and
capital
projects.
H
I.
Think
one
thing
I
really
enjoy
is
the
idea
of
the
15-minute
city
I
believe
that
Arlington
County
has
a
couple
of
these
like
Columbia,
Pike,
Langston,
Boulevard
and
kind
of
centering
Transportation
access
and
ability
around
getting
to
those
corridors.
In
addition
to
commuting
is
really
important.
D
Hi
everyone
call
your
cook
in
the
Ballston
neighborhood
to
answer
your
question.
I
would
say:
I
know
we
just
talked
about.
It
is
safe
accommodation
during
construction
of
all
projects,
I
I
bike
in
a
lot
of
the
urban
corridors,
Ballston
and
I
work
down
in
Crystal
City
and
with
construction
projects
lasting
two
three
four
years,
shutting
down
the
safe
routes
for
that
long
time
and
they're
just
expecting
folks
to
share
the
road.
D
I
Yeah
I
think
that,
let's
figure
you
know
you,
you
highlighted
a
little
bit
the
you
know
the
LPI.
So
let's
figure
out
a
way
to
to
not
confuse
motorists.
They
confuse
easily
on
a
good
day.
But
you
know
you
look
at
you
look
at
in
DC
and
there's
a
90-second
walk
signal
and
in
Arlington
it's
12
seconds,
you
know
and
and
motorists
just
aren't
going
to
figure
it
out.
If
we
can
be
consistent,
we
might
be
able
to.
Actually
you
know,
be
more
effective.
A
Okay,
that's
interesting
to
know:
Eric
Goodman.
J
Hi
I'm
Eric,
Goodman
and
I
I
live
in
the
Bluemont
neighborhood
and
I'm,
also
a
liaison
to
The
Pedestrian
advisory
committee
and
I
guess.
If
I
can
do
two
things
real
quickly,
the
first
I
think
would
be
curb.
Curbside
management
I
think
that
it
would
be
good
to
do
to
focus
on
that.
J
There's
naughty,
potentially
not
even
a
lot
of
cost
of
building
things
as
much
as
really
kind
of
focusing
on
better
ways
to
manage
the
curbside
and
then
the
other
priority
would
be
to
focus
more
on
maintaining
our
existing
bicycle
facilities,
just
to
improve
on
that
and
and
make
that
a
focus.
So
thanks
great.
F
Yeah
Mike
Hannah,
Arlington,
Heights,
neighborhood,
I
I
go
back
to
the
construction
and
the
maintenance
of
MOT
planning
maintenance
of
Transportation
I
guess
it
is
planning
and
not
just
that,
but
the
enforcement,
because
it's
it's
not
even
so
much
the
long
projects
which
those
are
bad.
F
It's
the
randomness,
the
number
of
times
you
come
around
a
curve
or
come
down
a
bike
path
that
you
take
every
day
and
suddenly
Wham,
there's
cones
and
trucks
and
things
you're
not
expecting
to
be
in
there
and
it's
almost
it's
almost
comical
in
a
way
the
Wilson
Boulevard
Trail,
coming
up
out
of
Roslyn
they've
got
these
little
jogs,
where
they
jog
out
about
three
feet
and
Jog
around
because
they
had
to
put
a
ramp
in
and
they've
got
all
this
signage
Trail.
F
You
know,
Trail
diversion
I
forget
what
it
says:
Trail
diversion
Trail
movement.
You
know
to
warn
you
that
there's
this
little
three
feet:
jog
you've
got
to
go
around
and
then
the
next
Block
they'll
be
it's
completely
shut
down.
There's
a
truck
in
the
middle
of
it.
They've
got
cones.
You've
got
to
go
two
lanes
over
in
the
middle
of
traffic.
No
signage,
no
warning
so
I
think
it's
just
really
enforcing
to
the
Contracting
community
that
that's
not
acceptable
and
they
will
get.
You
know
fined
for
that
kind
of
dangerous
situation.
So.
A
K
Hi
Henry
Dunbar,
director
of
active
Transportation
operations
working
on
Capital,
Bike,
Share,
Scooters,
Bar
bike
and
walk
Arlington.
K
Since
people
have
done
a
lot
of
the
mot
stuff,
I'll
just
throw
out
I
would
I
would
work
with
the
electrifying
the
capital,
not
the
capital
bike,
show
I'm,
sorry,
County,
Bicycle,
Fleet
having
them
buy
electric
bikes
and
getting
County
staff
to
ride
them
for
their
work.
More
often,
I
think
this
would
dovetail
into
many
problems
that
would
be
highlighted
by
County
staff
and
when
they're
feeling
it,
then
a
lot
of
things
would
happen
so
I'll
leave
you
at
that.
C
Makes
sense
I
like
it
next,
we
have
Jed.
L
Hi
everybody
John
Isbell
with
the
friends
of
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
live
in
Alexandria,
but
a
former
Columbia
Pike
resident
for
about
seven
years.
I
think
one
thing
that
would
be
great
is
if
there
was
the
transportation
projects,
were
very
policy
driven
so
that
there's
a
standard
that
when
we
build
a
bike
lane,
it's
a
protected
bike
lane
and
that
you
know
when
there's
an
intersection.
L
There's
you
know
right
on
red,
is
prohibited
and
that
public
meetings
then
don't
become
a
referendum
on
whether
we
should
put
in
a
bike
lane,
but
an
opportunity
for
people
to
provide
details.
That
matter,
such
as
this
curb
cut,
is
at
45
degrees
and
I'd,
really
like
it
to
go
straight
instead
of
I,
don't
like
bike
Lanes.
A
Nice
all
right,
Leah.
M
Hi
everyone,
I'm
Leah,
Gerber
I'm,
a
bike
and
pedestrian
planner
with
Arlington
County
CES
and
the
BAC
liaison
I
think
there
is
a
laundry
list
of
things,
but
one
that
hasn't
been
mentioned
because
mots
would
definitely
be
on.
My
list
is
having
different
types
of
protection
for
bike
lane.
For
example,
I
went
to
nacto
in
September
and
Minneapolis
is
doing
some
really
cool
stuff
with
integrating
green
storm
water
infrastructure
and
bike
protection.
N
Okay,
considering
Leslie
seriously
live
in
Penrose
South
Arlington
I
came
in
a
little
late,
I,
don't
know
if
anybody
mentioned
this
I
would
just
love
for
the
existing
bike
Lanes
to
have
normal,
Street
Maintenance
and
be
cleaned
of
garbage
that
gets
on
them
and
not
have
snow
dumped
into
them
when
the
streets
are
cleared.
O
Kyle
Mark
Bucknell
here
Ashton
Heights
Buckingham
I
lots
of
great
ideas
so
far.
What
I
would
love
for
the
next
director
to
do
is
take
any
project,
that's
sort
of
contemplated
by
Vision,
zero
or
the
bicycle
element
and
say
that
was
our
public
input
process
for
the
most
part,
Stop
Arlington,
weighing
everything
to
death.
C
P
Good
evening,
everyone
thanks
for
all
I'm
I'm
with
the
national
anthem,
business
improvement.
District
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone
that
came
out
to
our
event.
Last
Thursday
at
the
Alamo
and
Crystal
City.
We
had
a
lot
of
great
time
celebrating
my
Mobility,
the
answer.
Your
question
I
think
mot
Echo,
that
but
also
looking
at
our
micro
Mobility
plan
and
how
it
relates
to
our
neighboring
jurisdictions
would
be
extremely
helpful.
A
Q
You
hear
me:
okay,
yes,
advisory
committee,
I'm
here
just
to
listen
and
watch
you
tonight,
because
you
have
such
a
great
program,
totally
support
protected,
connected
bike
Lanes
everywhere,
and
we
are
not
there
yet,
because
we
want
to
keep
the
cyclists
and
micro
mobiles
off
the
sidewalks
and,
of
course,
I
want
wider
sidewalks
and
the
one
and
protected
intersections
everywhere,
and
then
one
thing
we
haven't
mentioned
yet
is
street
lights,
the
street
lights
are
not
adequate.
Just
to
have
people
see
us
and
they're,
really
bad
at
intersections.
Q
A
Good
point:
next
we
have
Randy.
R
Randy
schwart
I
live
in
Barcroft.
If
I
were
the
new
Transportation
director
I
would
tell
Leah
to
make
a
an
appointment
for
a
meeting
with
the
BAC
so
that
I
could
find
out
what
was
going
on.
Thank
you.
A
Great,
your
wish
might
be
granted
ran,
Raymond,
sorry,
Raymond.
S
Hi
Raymond
Duran
by
Garlington
program
manager
and
I
would
focus
on
bicycle
facilities
in
Locum,
low-income
areas,
particularly
making
Columbia
Pike
more
friendly
and
safer
for
cyclists
and
pedestrians.
A
I'm
into
that
Aaron.
T
Hi
guys
I'm
Aaron
schutz
I'm
in
Lion
Park
and
work
at
Yorktown,
High
School,
where
I
bike
past
about
four
big
construction
projects
in
Boston
and
the
big
Hospital
project
that
just
a
disaster
to
get
through,
but
actually
my
two
two
ideas.
If
I
was
running
the
world,
I
try
to
work
on
cut
through
traffic,
there's
a
lot
of
Maryland
tags
that
I
follow
into
and
out
of
Arlington.
That
just
seemed
like
we
can
do
better
than
that
and
get
the
police
to
enforce
infractions.
T
When
I
see
a
police
officer
drive
past
a
double
parked
car
blocking
the
bike
lane
or
an
abandoned
trailer
park,
trailer
or
something
that's
blocking
or
partially
blocking
a
bike
lane,
and
they
don't
do
anything
about
it.
That's
tacit
approval,
so
we
gotta
do
better
than
that.
A
Thank
you
agreed
Steve
offit.
U
Hi
Steve
off
it
by
chair
of
this
committee,
live
in
Pentagon,
City,
If,
I,
Were,
King
of
the
transportation
world
I
would
take
a
sort
of
a
big
picture
thing
and
just
get
the
whole
philosophy
to
change
from
to
focusing
on
people
before
cars.
U
Just
like
the
the
you
know,
the
logo
or
the
slogan
I
should
say
there's
just
so
many
of
the
things
everyone
has
said
is
essentially
just
obliviousness
to
the
needs
of
those
who
are
getting
around
in
other
ways
and
de-emphasizing
the
the
prioritization
of
people
driving
vehicles
to
those
getting
around
in
all
the
other,
the
modes
that
they
use.
V
Hi
I
live
in
Penrose,
represent
Penrose
I
I
would
say,
improve
the
education
for
folks
about
what
what
the
rules
of
the
road
are
for.
Cyclists
and.
W
Mainly
to
to
automobile
drivers
and
then
enforce
enforce
what
we
have
so
we've
got
some
great
infrastructure.
I
know
there's
plenty
of
room
for
improvement,
but
let's,
let's
enforce
our
existing
capabilities.
A
Speak
up
if
I
missed
you,
no
okay,
so
we're
already
behind,
but
this
is
really
good
and
we're.
Actually,
this
next
meeting,
as
as
Leah
said,
we
have
a
really
packed
agenda
and
it
will
include
a
conversation
within
our
new
queen
of
transportation
for
Arlington
and
I.
A
Believe
we'll
also
have
the
vision
zero
coordinator,
so
this
was
going
to
be
the
last
agenda
item
but
to
to
prepare
for
these
meetings
this
next
meeting,
but
this
has
been
super
helpful
in
just
getting
these
ideas
out
there
so
before
I
waste
more
of
our
time.
Let's
move
on
to
the
next
item,
which
is
nvrpa
and
Waba
introductions
on.
Do
you
want
to
go
first.
B
Sure,
thank
you
so
much
Cynthia
I
really
appreciate
it.
So
everyone
hi
I'm,
Ann,
Vaughn,
I'm,
the
new
Community
engagement
manager
for
Nova
parks
and
in
the
context
of
this
meeting,
the
most
important
thing
is
I'm
working
on
dual
Trails
for
the
Washington
and
Old
Dominion
Trails,
especially
that
part
that
goes
from
Arlington
and
all
the
way
to
percivalville.
So
the
Dual
trails
that
we
have
already
constructed
so
far,
you
can
see
how
beautiful
it
is
in
the
city
of
Falls
Church.
B
It's
a
separate
two
lanes
for
bicyclists
and
then
another
one
for
pedestrians
and
I
was
able
to
clockwise
on
it
recently
and
it's
it's
if
I
am
not
exaggerating
too
much,
it's
the
Paragon
of
safety
and
Beauty
to
see
you
know
the
the
bicyclists
and
the
pedestrians
and
everyone
you
know
sharing
this.
This
stretch
of
the
trail
so
harmoniously
and
I
understand
that
that
might
be
something
that
is
kind
of
missing
in
other
sections,
specifically
in
Arlington.
But
if
you
have
any
other
questions,
I'm
happy
to
take
them.
B
And
it's
it's
it's
kind
of
exciting,
because
I
am
able
to
do
basically
community
outreach
in
a
new
position
for
parks
and
mother
nature,
as
opposed
to
what
I've
been
doing
for
the
last
10
years,
which
was
Northern
Virginia
Outreach
for
Senator
Mark
Warner,
which
is
how
a
lot
of
you
might
have
seen
my
face
before,
because
I
was
out
and
about
all
over
the
region,
and
it
was
really
great
to
kind
of
like
narrow.
My
focus
now
here
to
a
little
bit.
Something
more
second
nature
to
me.
B
So
thank
you
so
much
again
for
the
invitation
I'm
happy
to
talk
more
about
it.
But
if
you
haven't
seen
the
section
of
dual
trails
in
Falls
Church,
we're
hoping
you
do
that
in
Arlington
on
the
wnod
and
happy
to
expand
further
as
necessary.
Thank
you.
Cynthia
I
really
appreciate
the
opportunity.
U
Hi
Anne
thanks
so
much
and
I'm
hopeful
that
you
have
a
really
fun
and
exciting
new
new
position.
So,
yes,
I
have
written
on
that
section
of
the
trail
numerous
times
and
I
find
it
completely
ridiculous
that
there
are
these
narrowing
points
at
every
one
of
the
intersections.
They
create
conflict
and-
and
that's
just
got
to
change
like
immediately
so
it
I
I,
don't
know
I
mean
I,
have
a
sense
of
why
that's
true,
but
it's
just
the
reason
is
just
not
a
viable
reason.
B
Great,
thank
you
so
much
I
I'm,
very
appreciative
of
this
kind
of
feedback
and
I'm
happy
to
take
it
back
to
my
executive
director.
I
know
that
a
lot
of
you
already
know,
Paul
Gilbert
part
of
his
onboarding
and
orientation
with
me,
is
that
he
actually
has
presented
the
idea
of
dual
trails
to
the
commission,
the
parks
and
rec
commission
and
also
the
Natural
Resources
Commission
I.
B
Don't
know
if
he's
gotten
any
kind
of
hesitancy
or
resistance
from
those
commissions,
but
I
know
that
he
considers
the
bike
Community
very,
very
friendly
to
this
idea,
because
I
mean
at
the
end
of
the
day
it's
a
safety
issue
and
and
anything
we
can
do
to
increase,
and
you
know
improve
safety,
especially
for
bicyclists
and
pedestrians.
We're
we're
totally
in
favor
of
that.
U
Yeah
so
I'm
sorry,
I,
I,
guess
I
didn't
make
myself
clear,
I'm
talking
about
the
very
specific
part
of
Falls
Church,
because
the
trail
narrows
at
each
of
the
intersections
from
the
you
know
the
separated
area
down
to
just
a
single,
maybe
eight
or
ten
foot
wide
Crossing,
and
then
it
widens
out
again
and
that
creates
a
lot
of
conflict.
So
yes
agreed
that
doing
similar
things
in
Arlington
and
other
parts
of
the
region
are
wonderful.
B
Yeah,
specifically
around
those
choke
points,
it's
kind
of
something
to
do
with
the
kind
of
City
leadership
of
Falls
Church
right
now.
They
were
very,
very
happy
to
have
this
sections
that
were
already
widened
up,
but
we're
also
trying
to
reach
out
and
part
of
my
job
is
doing
this
to
the
neighbors
that
are
on
either
side
of
the
trail,
where
it
is
kind
of
narrow
right
now,
because
it
would
be
widening
right
up
into
like
some
of
their
backyards.
A
N
A
Right
and
we
have
a
question
from
from
Randy.
R
Yeah
and
I'm
really
puzzled
by
that
I
I,
don't
see
why
they
would
have
to
but
I
find
the
choke
points.
Minor,
minor
problems,
I
think
that
you
should
know
that
there's
going
to
be
pushback
in
Arlington,
because
a
lot
of
people
don't
think
that
much
pavement
is
environmentally
desirable.
R
I
love
that
section
I
think
it.
It
solves
all
of
the
problems
that
I
have
with
with
with
along
the
trail
elsewhere.
R
I
wish
we
could
do
it
in
Arlington,
I
think
you're
going
to
have
a
hard
time
getting
it
done,
and
since
Collier
cook
mentioned
the
the
thing
about
detours,
I
want
to
give
you
a
pat
on
the
back
for
what
you
did
at
dunloring
to
get
us
to
to
between
there
and
Gallows
Road,
because
that
is
probably
the
best
detour
of
its
type
for
a
trail
that
I've
ever
seen.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
good
luck
with
the
Arlington
part
I'll
be
supporting
you.
B
Hey
thanks
good
to
see
you
Ann
I,
am
very
excited
about
this
project.
B
I
agree
with
Andy
that
there
is
pushback
because
of
the
trees,
so
I
will
say,
I
find
and
a
lot
of
that
pushback
is
a
premise
on
the
idea
that
the
Four
Mile
Run
Trail
is
an
adequate
substitute
for
a
dual
Trail
on
the
wnod
I
think
this
is
the
S
I
think
that
it
is
that
astrauma
in
the
Four
Mile
Run
Trail
is
not
inadequate
alternative
for
most
of
the
link
of
the
wnid
in
Arlington
and
even
where
it
could
be,
because
it
really
isn't
that
much
of
a
detour
it's
in
terrible
shape
and
I
think
it
would
actually
have
more
of
an
environmental
impact
to
get
that
up
to
being
in
good
shape
than
it
would
to
just
build
the
extra
Trail
under
the
power
lines.
B
B
Because
again,
the
trail
is
under
power
lines,
but
I'm
particularly
interested
in
this
project,
because
my
own
daughter,
bikes
on
the
wnod
all
the
way
from
the
custis
trail
down
to
the
southern
end,
to
get
to
Gunston
and
I,
got
two
more
kids
coming
and
if
they
stick
with
immersion
they're
going
to
be
taken.
Most
of
that
trail
for
for
a
long
long
time.
B
So
I
hope
that
we
can
get
this
done
for
the
safety
of
the
kids
going
to
school
and
everyone
else
and
I
hope
that
we
can
do
it
quickly
so
that
the
kids,
the
kids
who
are
in
school,
now
could
benefit.
Thank
you.
A
J
Hi
actually
I
want
to
maybe
talk
about
a
little
different
subject
related
to
the
wnod
trail,
and
this
is
actually
out
happened
outside
of
Arlington,
but
I
think
it's
related
to
other
parts
of
the
trail
park.
There
was
I
think
there
were
several
accidents
that
happened
with
ice
on
the
the
trail
and
a
lot
of
that
had
to
do
with
the
sound
walls,
sort
of
blocking
sunlight
on
the
trail
and
and
causing
ice
to
form
and
and
stay
there
and
so
I
I
guess.
J
Just
what
what
are
you
all
doing
to
ensure
that
we
don't
have
ice
situations,
especially
for
morning
commuters,
that
sort
of
come
upon
either
black
ice
or
or
you
know,
a
pool?
That's
that's
been
frozen.
There.
B
I
am
actually
not
sure,
but
I
know
that
we
can
probably
address
that
in
the
design
part
of
this,
because
I
know
that
we
are
not
there.
Yet
we
have
the
money
for
design
only,
and
so
we
can
address
the
sound
wall
preventing
the
ice
melting
situation,
but
again
I'm,
not
a
designer,
but
I
will
definitely
make
a
note
that
that
will
be
a
major
concern
when
we
actually
do
plan
out
these
dual
trails.
F
Yeah
back
to
the
the
Dual
trails
in
Arlington,
I
I
agree
I'm,
supportive
of
it,
but
as
the
former
official
tree
hugger
on
the
committee,
it
would
I
think
it
would
be
real
helpful,
and
maybe
you
provided
this
in
the
interim,
but
I
haven't
seen
it
yet
is
some
preliminary
Design
Concepts
and
some
sketches
so
that
we're
not
arguing
in
theory
about
the
massive
numbers
of
old
growth
forest
you
guys
are
going
to
mow
down
or
not
right,
I
mean
it.
F
It's
easy
to
get
apocryphal
when
it
when,
when
you
don't
have
real
plans,
but
a
lot
of
that
is
mode
already.
A
lot
of
it
gets
mowed
down
already
to
control
for
invasives.
So
you
know
to
the
extent
you
can
show
that
you're
not
clearing
up
into
the
woods
to
create
this
extra
path.
I
think
it
would
help
that
argument
quite
a
bit.
B
I
agree:
I
I
also
seem
to
you
know,
forget
that
I
am
also
a
Bonafide
tree
hugger
as
well
so
I'm
in
England
and
I
appreciate
that,
because
it's
community
outreach
or
Community
engagement,
oh,
if
I,
can
get
my
hands
on
these
plans
and
designs
to
show
the
public
I'm
very,
very
eager
to
to
share.
F
F
Right
I
mean
there
was
resistance
when
the
county
first
had
come
forward
to
go
after
some
grant
money
for
this,
for
the
pre-planning
I
think
it
was,
and
the
resistance
came
just
because
nobody
knew
what
it
was
in
terms
of
the
actual
environmental
impact.
So
getting
that
out
there,
so
we're
arguing
about
specifics
rather
than
generalities
would
be.
It
moved.
The
project
forward,
I
think.
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
think
that's
a
really
good
suggestion
and
thank
you
and
for
your
presentation.
I
have
one
I
know
we're
running
it
over
time.
I
have
one
thing
just
that
that
the
part
the
one
the
aspect
of
the
Falls
Church
section,
that's
so
frustrating
is
that,
even
though,
on
a
lot
of
these
roads,
there
are
hardly
any
cars,
they
still
have
the
right
of
way.
It's
this
issue
that
came
up
already
in
the
introductions
that
why
not
give
I
mean
there's
so
many
riders
on
that
trail.
A
Why
not
give
us
and
Walkers?
Why
not
give
us
the
right
of
way
so
I
know
it's
all
very
political
and
we're
asking
everything
of
you,
but
we
appreciate
you
being
here
and
we
appreciate
the
work
that
you're
undertaking,
so
thank
you
so
much
and
I
think
we
better
keep
moving
because
we're
going
over.
We
have
so
many
things
to
to
share.
X
Hi
folks,
can
you
see
and
hear
me
all
right?
I
I
successfully
made
it
home
from
an
event
out
in
Fairfax
today
and
just
got
home,
so
I
was
hoping.
I
could
get
it
get
here
in
time
to
be
able
to
be
on
camera
with
y'all.
X
X
Bicyclist
Association
I've
been
with
guava
for
almost
a
year
now,
I
think
it's
actually
a
year
tomorrow,
but
this
role
that
I
have
now
as
the
Virginia
organizer
is
a
little
bit
of
a
little
bit
of
a
different
role
and
I'm
really
excited
to
to
be
jumping
into
this
and
yeah.
X
For
the
for,
for
much
of
my
time
at
Wawa,
I've
been
working
on
trails
and
so
have
a
pretty
a
pretty
good
sense
of
you
know
the
the
various
Trail
issues
in
Arlington
and
throughout
Northern
Virginia,
but
with
this
new
role,
I
have
the
opportunity
to
sort
of
expand
that
Focus
and
be
involved,
engage
with
all
manner
of
active
Transportation,
bicycling
projects,
right
Safe,
Streets,
rethinking
corridors
bike
lanes
and
and
vision,
zero
and
and
everything
that
goes
into
making.
X
You
know,
as
as
one
of
the
participants
said
right,
the
15-minute
city
right
remaking,
our
our
communities
into
walkable,
bikeable
places
and
yeah,
so
I
I
have
basically
been
on
a
on
a
speaking
or
a
listening
tour
over
over
the
last
couple
of
weeks.
X
You
know
had
a
chance
to
meet
a
lot
of
you
last
week
at
that
at
that
meet
and
greet
at
the
national
Landing
event
last
week,
as
well
through
my
work
with
the
with
the
capitol
Trails
Coalition
over
the
last
year
and
I'm
really
excited
to.
You
know
just
to
be
able
to
continue
that
in
this.
In
this
new
role,
really,
you
know
I
I
want
to
make
like
very
clear
that
you
know
Waba
right
what
we
are,
the
Washington
area-
bicycles,
Association.
X
We
have
always,
you
know
cared
about
about
the
the
region
writ
large,
but
sometimes
that
has
not
always.
X
We
know
that
has
not
always
sort
of
shown
and
just
sort
of
where
we're
showing
up,
and
so
you
know
first
and
foremost,
I
want
to
I
want
to
show
up
I
want
to
I
will
you
know
intend
to
be
in
places
just
like
this,
and
as
part
of
that
too,
I
want
to
be
sort
of
taking
a
listening
first
approach,
the
fact
that
you
know
we
have
groups,
we
have
many
many
Advocates
hundreds.
We
have
Place
We
Have
Faces.
Just
like
this.
X
We
have
you
know
various
advocacy
groups
throughout
the
region
who
are
working
on
this,
who
are
on
the
ground,
really
want
want
y'all
to
continue
to
lead
that
work
and
for
you
know
for
us
just
to
find
out.
You
know:
where
can?
Where
can
we
support
it?
Where
can
we
Echo
it?
Where
can
we?
You
know
you
know
lint
the
things
that
we
do.
We
do
really
well
and
and
to
really
devote
those
tools
as
resources
to
the
things
that
that
you
all
care
about.
X
So
I'll
stop
there
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions,
but,
but
really
just
you
know
want
to
say
how
excited
Wawa
is
to
be.
You
know,
investing
the
Staffing,
Resources
renewed
attention
to
Northern
Virginia
to
Arlington
and
yeah
expect
to
see
lots
of
me
in
in
various
various
forums
and
events
across
the
region.
A
Thank
you
Kevin,
since
we
are
already
quite
behind
I,
think
we'll
move
right
along,
but
unless
there's
any
pressing,
pressing
questions.
Okay,
all
right!
So
next
we
have
Antonio
Rossi
to
talk
about
shared
Mobility
device
reporting,
oh
report,
a
problem
feature.
G
Thank
you
Cynthia
good
evening,
everyone.
My
name
is
Antonio
Rossi
I'm,
a
contractor
for
County
part
of
the
community
services.
Bureau
I
briefly
want
to
go
and
share
a
program
overview
before
delving
into
the
report
of
problem
functionality
just
to
provide
some
context
on
the
micro
Mobility
Program.
G
Just
a
brief
history,
so
the
micro
Mobility
Program.
This
is
relating
to
the
shared
e-scooters
and
e-bikes
Illinois
Road,
not
including
Capital
Bike
Share,
but
the
ones
you
know
from
Bird
Line
that
you
that
you
may
have
seen
so.
The
program
has
has
evolved
from
a
pilot
since
2019
and
it's
become
a
permanent
program
since
2020
the
table
below.
This
is
a
display
of
the
number
of
devices
available
in
this
current
year.
Last
year
we
had
a
sixth
operator
held
this.
If
you
may
recall
them,
they
voluntarily
withdrew
from
the
county.
G
So
at
this
point
we
have
five
different
operators,
each
offering
a
different
number
of
devices
and
styles.
G
Next
up,
I
want
to
share
a
little
bit
about
ridership
that
may
be
of
some
interest.
The
blue
line
was
the
initial
pilot
year,
where
it
was
a
huge
craze,
and
you
know
everyone
was
scooting
around
I
that
is
difficult
to
those
numbers
are
difficult
to
obtain,
I
think
what's
more,
but
we're
seeing
a
promising
growth
since
pre-pandemic
levels,
where
the
yellow
orange
line
or
the
yellow
or
the
Gold
Line
I
guess
is
this
past
year,
where
we're
seeing
you
know
a
rebound
from
2020
and
2021.
G
Next
up,
we
just
launched
this
and
it's
on
our
website,
it's
available
for
the
public
to
view
it's
an
aggregated
data
set
on
ridership
Via,
our
software
Mobility
platform,
where
you're
able
to
view
where
people
are
writing
and
some
other
you
know-
data
regarding
tripling
trip
minutes
number
of
trips
taken.
We
can't
change
anything
on
this
platform,
so,
unfortunately,
this
is
all
we
have
for
the
public.
You
can
select
the
time
frame
and
number
of
or
and
the
different
device
types
and
then
the
ridership
data.
G
Next,
because
we've
seen
such
a
growth
in
the
program
we're
using
the
permit
fees
from
the
private
operators
to
install
Corrals,
you
may
have
seen
those
in
the
county
as
well
as
of
January
2023.
We
have
installed
75
of
them
and
we
are
we've
planned
to
install
100
for
each
fiscal
year
next
four
years,
and
so
this
all
depends
on
the
budget.
G
Just
for
you
know
to
explain
this
map
a
little
bit.
The
blue
dots
signified
ones
that
have
been
installed.
The
yellow
ones
are
the
ones
that
are
currently
being
reviewed
by
traffic
engineering
operations
and
the
black
ones,
mainly
or
all
of
them
currently
in
Crystal
City
are
the
ones
that
are
have
been
approved
but
have
yet
to
be
installed,
and
we
welcome
any.
You
know
any
Corral
location
suggestions.
So
if
you
do
have
a
location
in
mind,
so
please
feel
free
to
reach
out.
G
I
didn't
want.
I
did
not
want
to
take
up
too
much
time
on
the
over
or
the
SMD
program.
So
if
you
have
any
questions
on
this
feel
free
to
email
me
or
ask
right
now,
if
nothing
I'll
go
ahead
and
jump
straight
into
the
reported
problem,
functionality.
N
G
So,
prior
to
launching
the
report
problem
functionality,
we
we
received
requests
from
residents
or
improperly
parked
devices,
and
we
then
forwarded
them
to
operators.
Essentially,
we
were
acting
as
a
middleman
and
that
wasn't
the
quickest
way
of
getting
a
response.
So,
with
this
new
launch,
the
requests
go
directly
to
the
operators
themselves.
It
doesn't
go
to
their
customer
service.
If
you
have
ever
tried
emailing,
like
I,
don't
know
help
at
bird.com.
G
G
I
just
grabbed
some
screenshots
just
to
share
with
you.
Our
functionality
looks
like
so
this
is
the
report
problem
first
page
or
front
page
of
the
website.
G
Once
you
select,
you
know
the
the
address
or
where
the
device
may
have
been
parked.
We
ask
that
you
select
the
operator
so
that
the
request
can
go
directly
to
the
operator
and
we
have
some
keywords
that
you
can
type
in
the
type
of
issue.
I.
G
Think
if
you
scooter
bike,
e-bike
e-scooter,
so
this
list
of
five
operators
show
and
if
you
have
to
download
a
device
or
if
it's
you
know
someone
who
just
didn't
happen
to
see
what
the
name
of
the
device
was,
they
can
request
unknown
and
that's
going
to
be
sent
directly
to
our
email
address.
G
Once
you
select,
you
know
the
device
type
you'll
be
asked,
or
once
you
select,
the
company
name
you'll
be
asked
for
device
type,
which
in
Arlington's
case
is
either
bike
or
scooter,
and
the
issue
we're
trying
to
categorize
the
complaints.
So
that's
if
we
receive
numerous
of
the
same
complaints
for
the
same
issue,
we
can
actually
look
at
that
geographic
area
to
see
how
we
may
improve
and
how
we
can
alleviate
that
concern
in
the
future.
G
G
The
operator
has,
then
all
right,
then,
is
required
to
close
out
the
tickets.
So
essentially,
they
are
communicating
via
County
Channel
and
they
are
only
allowed
to
close
out
the
ticket
once
they
actually
have
resolved.
That
problem
and
I
know
see
I
know
it
had
been
some
questions
about.
How
do
we
verify?
How
do
we
verify
that
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
a
minute?
G
And
one
of
the
other
questions
was
you
know?
What's
the
other
question.
G
The
contractual
license
requirements-
this
is
so
there's
a
two
hour
time
window
where
operators
should
be
responding
and
if
they
don't
respond,
they'll
receive
this
saying
that
you
know
this
was
submitted
at
8
38
pm
and
at
10
47
PM.
They
have
received
a
follow-up,
so
they
have
a
two
hour
time,
winner
to
close
out
the
issue.
G
And
that
was
the
information
on
the
reporter
problem
all
go
ahead
and
answer
the
questions
in
order
from
Dana
brass.
First,
the
processes
and
timelines
when
a
pulley,
Park,
dockless
bike
or
scooter
is
reported,
so
I
think
I
explained
most
of
that
to
what
the
process
is
and
the
timeline
is
two
hours.
G
We
know
that
operators
do
not
always
response
within
two
hours
or
solve
the
problem
within
two
hours.
We
do
have
a
escalation,
an
internal
escalation
process.
When
those
haven't
been
resolved
in
two
hours
they
are,
they
are
on
a
permit
system,
meaning
that
the
permit
can
be
suspended
or
revoked
at
any
time.
You
know
if
they
don't
follow
the
program,
requirements
or
guidelines
and
if
they
abuse
this
system
or
if
they
don't
systematically
resolve
these
issues,
so
there's
a
reason
we
can
give
to
prepare
them
a
notice
for
possible
suspension.
G
In
that
case,
what
does
ceiling
the
county
office
charge
with
administering
this
process
work?
We
work
regular
business
hours
and
that's
why
we
wanted
to
implement
this
system
because
before
yeah,
if
these
requests
were
submitted
after
hours
or
during
the
weekends
or
if
any
of
us
were
away
from
our
emails,
these
wouldn't
be
forwarded
directly
to
the
operators
immediately.
So
with
this,
we
hope
to
yeah
get
these
resolved
more
quickly.
G
Next
question:
what
are
the
contractual
or
license
requirements
on
the
owner
licensee
to
response
when
the
Arlington
County
notifies
them
of
a
poorly
parked
dockless
bike
or
scooter?
Our
service
level
agreement
with
the
operators,
as
stated
in
a
county
code,
is
two
hours:
do
this
Arlington
license
requirements
applied
to
poorly
parked,
dockless
bikes
or
scooters
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail?
This
applies
to
everywhere
within
Arlington
County,
and
how
will
Orange
County
confirm
the
company
that
owns
the
poorly
parked
dockless
bike
or
scooters
has
taken
the
required
actions.
G
So,
like
I
said,
the
operator
should
not
be
responding
or
should
not
be
closing
out
tickets
until
they've
actually
resolved
the
problem,
and
because
they
are
on
a
permit
system,
we
can
have
the
option
to
you
know,
suspend
them
so
that
there's
one
way
to
keep
them
in
check
that
they
don't
abuse
the
system.
The
other
way
we
have
is
by
analyzing
our
Mobility
platform
software,
where
we
can
verify
whether
the
GPS
of
the
device
has
been
in
fact
moved.
J
Yeah,
so
I
I
guess
have
a
question
with
regard
to
this
I.
Normally,
when
I
see
them
parked
poorly
I,
just
move
them
myself.
Should
we
not
be
doing
that
at
all?
Should
we
just
spend
the
time
reporting
the
it
through
a
reported
problem
and
and
hope
that
it
will
be
taken
care
of
soon
or
do
we
move
it
but
still
report
it
and
report
a
problem
just
so
it
gets
just
so.
It
gets
logged.
G
B
Thanks
two
questions:
the
first
is:
if
someone
reports
an
issue-
and
it
is
like
you-
go
to
the
map
and
they
click
on,
say,
Columbia
Island,
which
everyone
thinks
is
Arlington,
but
it's
not
Arlington.
B
B
Okay,
we'll.
B
To
you
right,
if
it's,
if
it's
automatic
it
seems
like
why
not
just
do
it,
you
know.
The
second
thing
is
a
lot
of
the
issues,
especially
with
the
bikes
and
scooters
left
on.
Bridges
and
trails
seems
to
be
that
the
bike
or
the
scooter
ran
out
of
battery.
B
Can
you
still
track
it?
If,
if
that's
what
happened,
I
mean
I
assume,
even
if
you
can
drag
it
for
some
amount
of
time,
there's
a
point
after
which
you
can't
track
it
anymore.
And
what
do
you
you
know?
Is
there
any
follow-up
is?
Are
you
guys
looking
at
like?
Maybe
if
there
are
two
reports
in
the
same
place
more
than
12
hours
apart
or
something
that
you
guys
would
follow
up.
G
Yeah,
so
the
GPS
will
stop
responding
and
we
won't
have
access
to
viewing
the
device
location
after
I
believe
it's
12
or
24
hours,
their
last
location
ping.
When
that
happens,.
G
We
don't
have
the
we
aren't
able
to
essentially
verify
the
device
location
from
our
end
anymore.
So
the
only
way
to
verify
it
is
by
going
into
the
field
which
we've
done
on
location,
but
at
this
very
time
consuming.
G
B
B
You
start
down
the
Key
Bridge
if,
if
it
automatically
shuts
off
when
you
get
to
Arlington
it'll
shut
off
on
the
Arlington
side
of
the
Key
Bridge,
but
but
back
when
we
first
were
letting
them
hear,
we
were
told
I
believe
that
you
know.
Obviously
that's
going
to
be
a
problem.
So
if
you're
going
to
geofence
it
have
the
geofence
start
on
the
other
side
of
the
river,
since
there's
no
other
place
for
that
bike
to
go.
G
G
Bridges
there
are
some
persistent
users
who
can
either
manually
continue.
You
know,
okay,
push
them
along,
but
I
understand
and
just
going
back
to
your
question
regarding
the
you
know:
Memorial
Bridge
example
just
pulling
this
up
right
now
by
dropping
a
pin
on
the
bridge
saying
that
you
know
the
address
isn't
recognized
in
Arlington,
so
this
would
not
go
through
to
an
operator.
U
Yeah,
so
that
is
a
an
issue
because
Arlington
is
not
an
island.
I
mean
I
travel
between
Arlington
and
DC.
Every
time
I
go
to
work
and
when
I
go
for
all
sorts
of
things
now,
I
don't
use
the
scooter
so
much,
but
but
there's
got
to
be
a
way
to
fix
that
problem.
There's
a
couple
of
VO
I,
don't
know
what
they're
called
mopeds
or
whatever
sitting
on
the
14th
Street
Bridge
has
been
there
for
like
five
days
and
I
know.
U
That's
not
you
know
it's
not
Arlington's
problem,
but
it's
a
problem
and
and
I
don't
know
what
we're
doing
to
try
to
resolve
that,
but
just
throwing
our
hands
up
in
the
air
and
saying
oh
well,
there's
a
line
kind
of
on
the
river
somewhere
and
if
you
cross
that
line
suddenly
your
thing
stops
working
is
not
the
solution.
G
I
I
agree:
there
is
a
lack
of
original
approach
to
this
and
unfortunately,
we
can't
view
devices
that
are
on
Bridges
because
they
are
not
in
Arlington
County
and
our
map
just
limits.
You
know
what
we
can
see
on
the
map
just
to
what
is
inside
Arlington
County,
essentially
so
I
can't
see
any
of
the
devices
that
are
left
on
Bridges.
G
Y
G
No,
that's
a
good
idea.
Thank
you.
This
is
something
that
requires
collaborate,
collaboration
with
counterparts
in
the
other
jurisdictions,
foreign.
Y
G
Well,
we've
got
both
ways:
right
sure:
are
you
just
and
I
would
have
to
double
check
the
county
code
on
our
service
level
agreements
because
they
are
allowed
to
operate
within
the
county.
So
we
would
need
to
get
some
sort
of
approval,
consensus
that
we're
creating
in
no
right
Zone
in
additional
areas.
A
T
Yeah,
so
just
a
couple
ideas,
I
think
Antonio
you're,
mentioning
the
the
issue
of
something
a
vehicle
license
being
Arlington
being
parked
on
the
bridge
or
outside
of
Arlington.
T
You
shouldn't
have
an
issue
with
extending
the
map
that
you're
allowed
to
see
and
where
you
can
see
bikes
being
parked
and
where
they're
reporting
their
location
just
push
the
boundary
out
that
doesn't
change
the
boundary
of
where
they're
allowed
to
operate,
but
it
should
be
able
to
change
what
we're
allowed.
What
you
are
allowed
to
see
that's
a
technical
issue
that
and
then
I
should
still
be
able
to
report
if
it's
a
vo
scooter
that
is
not
allowed
to
operate
in
DC,
but
I,
see
it
on
the
bridge
or
in
DC.
T
T
If,
if
the
is
there
a
way
to
submit
a
photo
in
the
reported
problem,
because
I
think
that
I
didn't
see
it
on
the
on
the
list
there,
but
I
would
be
much
more.
T
There
is
okay,
because
you
know
I've
I'm
happy
to
move
a
scooter
too,
but
I'm
going
to
report
it
as
a
problem
based
on
a
photo
based
on
actually
what's
going
on
and
I'm
much
more
likely
to
report
it
if
I
know,
there's
some
kind
of
a
feedback
mechanism
for
the
scooter
rider,
not
just
the
penalty
threat
for
the
company
on
aggregate
yeah,
the
company
issue
blah
blah
blah,
but
if
there's
some
jerk
that
lives
in
this
apartment,
building
nearby
me
that
every
day
is
dropping
a
scooter
on
the
sidewalk
and
blocking
the
sidewalk,
instead
of
just
throwing
it
up
on
their
front
steps
every
day.
T
G
Okay,
that's
a
great
Point
operators
have
the
ability
to
find
writers,
and
they
have
done
so
with
with
repeated
violations
that
we
have
brought
up
with
them.
But
that
requires
them
to
research,
trip
history,
writer,
history,
and
we
can,
we
can't
have
we
don't
have
any
control
over
whether
they
actually
find
or
do
anything
to
the
user.
T
G
A
All
right
great
ideas,
Dana,
is
next.
I
Yeah
well
to
Tim's
question
Four,
Mile,
Run
Trail
would
probably
be
screwed
because
there
are
portions
of
Four
Mile,
Run
Trail,
and
you
know
that
we
consider
to
be
in
Alexander
or
Arlington
that
are
actually
in
Alexandria.
So
if
we
drift
as
if
somebody's
scooter
dropped
dead
on
the
trail,
because
it
got
within
100
feet
of
the
of
the
Border,
you
know
that
pretty
much
that
trail
is
going
to
be
completely
off
limits.
I
But
to
the
question
of
enforcement,
Mr
Rossi!
Do
you
guys?
You
know
there
are
I
submitted
two
reporter
problems
over
the
weekend
24
hours
apart
on
the
same
scooter
in
the
same
location.
I
You
know
the
numbers
are
in
the
in
the
chat
yeah
other
than
the
death
penalty,
which
be
which
would
be
canceling
the
the
contract
or
the
the
permission
to
operate.
Are
there
fine
are?
Do
you
guys?
Are
you
guys
in
a
position
to
assess
fines
to
the
vendors.
G
We
are
not
in
a
position
to
do
that.
This
requires
County
board
approval,
I,
believe
and
yeah.
We
we
haven't,
because
we
haven't
come
to
that
point
yet
that
that
is
necessary.
We
don't
want
to
punish
operators
financially
per
se
with
fines.
G
If
we
can,
you
know,
consider
other
Solutions
or
if
they
can
provide
some
other
Solutions.
If
we
see
you
know
repeated
issues
with
parking,
we've
requested
for
individual
operators
to
create
no
parking
zones
for
certain
areas,
and
they
follow
through
on
that.
We
are.
G
G
Vo
is
a
new
operator,
there's
a
learn:
there's
a
learning
curve
to
be
have
for
an
operator
standpoint
on
how
to
operate
in
a
new
jurisdiction
and
this
functionality
just
went
live
about
two
weeks
ago
and
I
think
that
is
also
not
a
learning
curve,
but
I've
noted
it
and
I'll
reach
out
to
them
directly.
I
C
A
Thank
you
so
much
I
think
we'll
move
on
unless
anyone
has
pressing
questions.
Julian
is
that
an
old
hand
or
a
new
hand
hold
hands.
Sorry,
okay,
no
worries
how
about
we'll
move
on
now.
Thank
you
so
much
Antonio
that
was
really
really
interesting
to
hear
and
I
hadn't
realized
all
these
challenges
with
the
jurisdictions.
I
I
that
it's
not
Regional,
so
that
makes
it
really
tricky.
Thank.
G
You
for
having
me
and
I
realized
that
this
is
a
you
know.
A
concern
to
the
county
and
I
will
probably
have
to
follow
up
with
the
Council
of
garments
to
discuss
how
to
solve
for
regional
this
Regional
issue,
but
if
you
do
have,
if
anyone
has
any
further
questions,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
Mew
or
Leah
and
we'll
discuss
further
internally.
Thank
you.
A
Wonderful,
thank
you
so
much
and
next
we
have
Judd
from
the
friends
of
Mount
Vernon,
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
A
A
A
little
challenge
here,
then
we
could
move
the
change
to
the
order.
Would
that
make
sense.
I
L
I
L
See
it
yep
all
right,
excellent,
appreciate
the
the
flexibility
here
bearing
with
me
on
the
technical
issue,
so
I'm,
Judd,
Isabel
I,
know
a
lot
of
you
I'm,
the
president
and
one
of
the
founders
of
the
friends
of
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
so
I'm
just
gonna
go
over
some
things
that
we
do
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
and
then
also
talk
a
little
bit
about
NPS
and
also
some
things
that
have
happened
recently
and
also
some
good
upcoming
things
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
L
L
There's
a
lot
of
things
to
love
about
it.
So
it's
it's
got
beautiful.
Scenery
and
I've
got
my
picture
there
of
me,
riding
by
Memorial
Bridge,
to
offer
safe
transportation
for
biking
walking
running
every
time.
I'm
on
the
trail,
I
see
a
friend,
I
love,
seeing
families
and
kids
on
the
trail,
particularly
little
kids.
Some
Wildlife
encounter
opportunities,
so
that
bottom
picture
is
not
me
actually
in
the
water,
but
some
beavers
have
moved
in
next
to
trollheim
bridge.
L
So
I
got
to
see
three
beavers
last
week
having
some
breakfast
and
my
friend
photoshopped
me
in
with
the
Beavers
Mount
Vernon
Trail
is
also
great
because
it
connects
to
a
lot
of
things
so
custis
Trail,
Four,
Mile,
Run,
Trail
and
then
also
sites
like
the
Mount
Vernon
Estates,
multiple
Bridges,
to
get
over
to
DC
or
get
back
from
DC.
L
L
A
very
popular
Trail,
one
of
the
most
popular
trails
in
the
United
States
with
millions
of
users
and
one
of
the
other
things
that
I
really
like
about
the
trail
is
the
the
origin
of
the
trail.
So
the
trail
exists
because
two
women
in
1971
petitioned
the
park
service
to
to
build
a
trail,
and
they
literally
built
it
with
volunteer
help
by
spreading
gravel.
For
that
first
section
of
Trail,
which
opened
in
1972.
L
So,
who
are
we
the
friends
of
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
we're
all
volunteer,
so
no
paid
staff?
We
are
a
501c3
non-profit
and
we
came
into
existence
in
2018
back
then,
the
National
Park
Service,
the
George
Washington
Memorial
Parkway,
was
having
some
stakeholder
engagement
sessions
about
every
three
months.
L
So
at
the
end
of
the
third
session,
I
stood
up
and
said:
are
we
talking
about
this
or
are
we
doing
this
and
thankfully,
to
two
friends
of
mine
agreed
to
be
co-founders
and
we
started
the
group
that
way
started
doing
informal
activities
about
once
a
month
in
2018
just
to
see
if
anybody
would
show
up.
If
we
did
things
on
the
trail,
people
did,
which
was
great,
so
we
decided
to
incorporate
as
a
non-profit
in
2019
and
then
in
2020.
L
We
signed
a
philanthropic
partnership
agreement
with
the
George
Washington
Memorial
Parkway,
so
the
philanthropic
partnership
agreement,
Makes
Us
official
partners
with
the
National
Park
Service.
L
It
also
outlines
the
things
our
common
goals
for
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
things
that
we
are
allowed
to
do
as
an
organization
and
those
things
are
encapsulated
in
what's
called
an
annual
work
plan.
So
once
a
year
we
meet
with
the
park
service,
we
talk
about
things
that
we
would
like
to
do,
activities
that
we
would
like
to
do,
and
then
we
write
that
into
a
plan,
and
that
gives
us
license
to
do
those
things
on
the
trail.
L
L
I,
don't
know
why
that
slide
is
blank
and
I.
Don't
know
what
happened
to
that
one
other.
Here
we
go
what
we
do.
So
our
mission
is
to
improve
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
for
all
users
and
promote
appreciation
of
its
resources,
and
we
do
that
through
a
variety
of
things.
So
the
primary
thing
that
we
do
is
a
lot
of
Trail
maintenance,
but
we
also
do
events
to
help
people
appreciate
resources
on
the
parkway,
be
they
historical,
cultural,
environmental.
L
We
also
have
some
fun
social
events
and
we
also
do
a
lot
of
communication
of
things
going
on
that
affect
the
trail.
And
you
know
facilities
are
closed
for
some
reason
or
some
issues
going
on.
We
help
the
the
park
service
with
getting
word
out
on
those
things,
and
then
we
also
do
a
lot
of
advocacy.
L
So
our
sort
of
scope
of
that
is
projects
that
directly
affect
the
trail,
but
we
also
do
a
lot
of
advocacy
on
projects
that
connect
to
the
trail,
so
things
like
CC,
DCA,
Long,
Bridge,
those
types
of
things,
new
connections
to
the
trail.
We
encourage
people
to
comment
on
those
projects
and
are
a
voice
for
helping
to
secure
resources
for
those
projects.
L
Had
just
under
2
000
volunteers
at
those
events
which
is
equated
to
5425
volunteer
hours
for
the
the
trail
and
then
some
of
our
programs
have
had
over
600
participants,
we
try
every
year
to
give
about
the
equivalent
of
a
full-time
employee
to
the
trail.
L
L
L
We
also
do
a
lot
of
removal
of
invasive
species,
so
the
picture
on
the
left
is
near
the
power
plant
in
Alexandria,
where
we
removed
a
bunch
of
kudzu
on
the
right
is
some
Culvert
cleaning.
So
you
can
see
before
that.
You
wouldn't
know
that
there
was
a
culvert
there
unless
you
knew
that
their
Culvert
was
there.
L
Let's
see
we
do
Leaf
blowing
so
trying
to
keep
Leafs
off
the
edge
of
the
trail
and
off
the
bridges
where
they
can
become
slip
hazards.
L
We
also
do
a
lot
of
vegetation
removal
around
Sight
lines,
so
the
picture
on
the
right
is
in
Alexandria,
just
south
of
Dangerfield
Island
we're
coming
around
that
curve.
You
can
see
if
there
were
other
Trail
users
and
oftentimes.
Somebody
might
be
passing
when
you
come
around
the
curve
and
you're
ending
up
head
on
with
them.
L
Let's
see
a
thing
that
we
started
doing
recently
is
removal
of
Trail
bumps,
so
that
picture
on
the
left
is
some
before
and
after
Trail
bumps
that
were
at
Dangerfield
Island,
it's
one
of
the
notorious
sections
where
the
bumps
were
several
inches
high
and
a
very
dangerous.
So
we've
been
removing
those
we've
done
from
the
power
plant
in
Alexandria
to
just
south
of
Belhaven
Park
we've
removed
all
of
those
bumps.
L
L
L
We
also
do
some
trail,
edging
so
on.
The
right
is
also
in
Alexandria.
This
was
an
example
of.
There
was
about
a
foot
of
trail
that
was
covered
with
the
grass
and
dirt.
L
L
And
then
we
also
do
some
work
on
Bridges,
so
on
the
left
is
some
rotten
boards
that
we
replaced
on
trollheim
and
on
the
right
is
some
pressure
washing
that
we've
done
of
of
bridges.
So
we've
pressure
washed,
several
Bridges
that
are
notorious
for
slips
and
crashes,
continuing
to
do
that
work
and
then
we
also
do
some
fun
stuff.
So
the
picture
on
the
left
is
our
annual
bat
and
Firefly
walk.
The
people
that
are
looking
up
are
looking
at
bats.
L
That's
one
of
our
our
favorite
spots
on
the
trail,
four
bats
and
fireflies,
and
the
guy
turning
around
facing
cameras.
Kurt
Moser.
He
brings
his
bat
microphone
out
every
year.
L
So
he
has
a
microphone
that
can
Find
the
Echolocation
of
bats
and
tell
you
what
species
of
bat
it
is
and
then
the
picture
on
the
right
is
a
Bike
To,
Work
Day
pit
stop
at
Gravelly
Point
this
past
year
and
then
the
big
thing
that
happened
last
year
was
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
turned
50
years
old,
so
April
15
1972
was
the
opening
of
the
first
segment
of
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
We
had
a
big
party
with
a
lot
of
our
partners.
L
I
got
to
sit
next
to
Don,
Byer
and
chit
chat
with
them
and
the
woman
in
the
center
there
is
Barbara
Lynch,
who
is
one
of
the
the
women
that's
responsible
for
the
trail,
existing
her
and
Ellen
Pickering
and
so
she's
still
Alexandria
resident.
L
She
was
able
to
to
make
the
event
and
told
us
that
we
asked
her
if
she
ever
thought
that
the
trail
would
have
this
many
users
and
grow
this
much,
and
she
said
that
when
they,
when
they
used
to
see
somebody
on
the
trail,
they'd
call
everybody
and
go.
Somebody
was
using
the
trail
today,
so
the
Trail's
grown
a
lot
since
then,
as
far
as
users,
I,
don't
think
anybody
could
have
ever
imagined
how
popular
of
a
trail
it
is
today.
L
Let's
see
so
our
focus
in
2023
is
a
group
we're
doing
a
lot
of
bump
removal,
work
and
pothole
repair
this
year
out
every
Saturday
doing
that
work.
L
My
goal
is
to
get
every
bump
on
the
trail
this
year
as
a
stretch,
goal
I
think
we
might
be
able
to
do
it.
We're
also
going
to
try
to
resume
some
Bridge
cleaning
this
year,
after
not
being
able
to
do
a
lot
of
it
last
year
and
then
continuing
vegetation
maintenance.
So
doing
a
lot
of
the
things
like
troheim,
there's
honeysuckle
that
grows
into
the
the
bridge
we
cleared
out
most
of
it
last
year.
L
We're
going
to
finish
that
up,
making
sure
that
things
are
not
growing
into
the
trail
and
that
you
can
see
around
corners.
We're
also
going
to
make
a
a
big
increase
in
sort
of
our
social,
educational
and
recreational
events.
This
year
we
focused
mostly
on
trail
maintenance,
just
because
it's
something
that
I
care
about
and
anytime
I
ride,
past
something
that
is
an
issue
to
me.
I
I,
curse
at
it
and
then
go
we're
going
to
do
an
event
to
fix
that.
L
So
a
lot
of
that's
been
just
driven
by
like
my
personal
interest,
but
we're
growing
as
an
organization.
The
other
really
great
thing,
that's
going
to
happen
this
year.
As
long
as
the
permit
gets
approved
and
its
end
process
is,
we
are
partnering
with
Dan
stork
and
Fairfax
government
for
the
tour
to
Mount
Vernon
this
year
and
we're
going
to
shut
down
the
parkway
from
Mount
Vernon
Estates
to
Jones
point,
and
people
will
have
the
opportunity
to
ride
their
bike
on
the
parkway.
L
So
hopefully,
everything
goes
great
with
that
we're
doing
some
planning
meetings
for
it
and
really
excited
about
that
event.
When
we
did
our
sort
of
visioning
sessions
in
2018,
that
was
an
idea
that
kept
coming
up
of,
like
wouldn't
it
be
great
to
shut
down
the
parkway,
so
I'm
super
super
excited
that
that
we're
gonna
do
it.
L
The
other
thing
that
we're
really
working
on
as
an
organization
is
increasing
our
organizational
capacity,
so
we
just
moved
into
a
10
by
20
storage
unit
from
our
old
10x9
unit,
we're
not
jumping
over
things
anymore.
We
also
just
bought
a
new
bike
and
trailer
we
get
to
all
of
our
events
by
bicycle
and
since
we've
started
doing
the
bump
work
that
equipment's
like
500
to
600
pounds
of
stuff.
L
It
was
becoming
too
much
for
poor
me
to
to
pool
with
one
bike,
so
we've
expanded
our
our
Transportation,
we're
gonna,
keep
working
on
growing
our
board,
diversifying
our
events
and
also
trying
to
to
ensure
that
we
raise
the
money
that
we
need
to
keep
doing
all
of
the
work
so
and
then
there's
a
ton
of
projects
in
the
in
the
hopper
that
affect
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
So
we're
going
to
continue
doing
a
lot
of
advocacy
for
those
projects
during
the
people
comment
on
them
all
right.
So
that's
us!
L
The
next
slide
is
sort
of
about
why
simple
things
aren't
always
so
simple
in
the
parkway.
So
you
know
if
you
want
to
put
a
sign
in
the
ground,
why
can't
we
just
put
a
sign
in
the
ground,
so
there's
a
couple
reasons
why
things
aren't
so
simple?
The
first
is
the
organic
Act
of
1916,
which
established
the
National,
Park
Service,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
challenges
with
doing
things
on
Park
Service
land
is
that
the
mission
of
the
Park
Service
at
its
core
is
to
conserve
things.
L
It's
their
mission,
it's
kind
of
their
organizational
culture
is
don't
change
things
because
we're
conserving
things,
the
balance
always
for
the
park
service
is
conserving
things
versus
letting
the
public
access
things
and
sometimes
oftentimes.
Those
things
are
too
conflicting.
Things
access
by
its
very
nature,
means
you
need
facilities,
means
that
you
may
need
to
alter
some
of
the
things
in
the
park.
L
L
So,
although
there's
lots
of
other
sites
in
it,
the
the
purpose
or
the
establishment
or
reason
that
it
exists-
is
to
for
a
Highway
I,
don't
personally
like
it,
but
it
is
what
it
is.
Some
other
challenges,
so
the
National
Historic
preservation
act
of
1966
outlines
a
lot
of
rules
about
historical
sites,
archaeological
sites.
L
So,
for
the
example
of
I
want
to
put
a
sign
on
the
trail,
you
can't
dig
a
hole
unless
you
make
sure
that
there's
no
archaeological
site
that
you're
not
going
to
destroy
or
impact
based
on
digging
that
hole
in
the
ground.
So
that's
kind
of
a
big
challenge:
the
national
environment.
The
protection
act
also
requires
a
lot
of
things
that
make
change
hard.
A
lot
of
you
know,
there's
a
an
environmental
assessment
out
for
trail,
widening
right
now
that
just
went
through
public
comment
for
the
scoping
phase.
L
There's
always
a
balance
of
how
does
this
change
impact,
the
cultural
heritage,
The
View,
shed
the
environment
or
the
resources
of
the
parkway,
some
other
challenges,
so
George,
Washington,
Memorial
Parkway
has
99
employees
about
a
14.2
million
dollar
budget
and
that's
to
manage
just
under
7
000
Acres
of
Parkland
they've
got
105
buildings
51
miles
of
Trail
79
miles
of
road
to
maintain
with
those
99
employees
and
that
budget
and
then
149
other
assets,
including
Bridges,
multiple
marinas,
multiple
monuments.
L
L
There's
about
600
million
dollars
of
Maintenance
backlog
in
the
George
Washington
Memorial
Parkway,
a
lot
of
that's
related
to
the
the
roadway
which
was
originally
built
first
section
opened
in
1932,
so
approaching,
100
years
old,
so
big
challenges,
constrained
resources
and
so
the
the
priorities
that
I
have
aren't
always
the
priorities
of
the
park
service
with
those
those
limited
resources.
L
So
those
are
some
of
the
challenges
of
doing
things
on
the
trail,
but
that
hasn't
stopped
some
great
projects
from
happening.
Not
all
of
them
are
NPS
projects,
but
two
great
things
that
happened
in
2022
the
first.
The
picture
on
the
left
is
the
new
bridge
12,
which
is
near
Fort
Hunt.
It's
a
14
foot
wide
bridge.
This
is
going
to
be
the
standard
for
bridges
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
Now,
so
every
bridge
that
gets
rebuilt
will
look
like
this
it'll
be
14
foot
wide.
L
It
will
have
metal
railings
that
you
can't
slide
through,
like
the
some
of
the
bridges
like
troheim,
just
have
a
board
at
the
bottom
and
a
chain,
so
you
could
easily
just
slip
right
through
that.
So
really
awesome
new
bridge
super
excited.
The
old
bridge.
12
was
very
dangerous.
L
It
was
in
the
bottom
of
a
ravine
with
a
shark
curve.
It
was
very
slippery
and
I
know
of
lots
of
people
that
were
hurt
there.
So
this
bridge
is
a
great
Improvement.
L
The
picture
on
the
right
is
the
groundbreaking
for
the
long
bridge,
interchange
project,
so
this
is
going
to
create
a
new
Trail
access
to
the
south
end
of
humpback
Bridge,
there's
currently
a
social
Trail.
There
that's
overgrown
and
then
a
little
stub
connector
trail.
That
is
also
very
overgrown.
Construction
kicked
off
the
the
social
Trail
and
the
ramp
ramp,
10
I
think
we're
just
closed
a
week
or
two
ago.
So
construction
is
actively
occurring
for
this
and
super
excited
about
that
new
connection
to
the
trail.
L
Let's
see
so
things
that
I
am
aware
of
in
the
the
project
pipeline
that
are
going
to
impact
the
trail,
so
the
Northern
Trail
is
going
to
get
rebuilt.
Park
Service
received
a
smart
scale
Grant
to
rebuild
the
portions
of
the
trail
that
are
in
Alexandria
and
Arlington,
and
then
Park
Service
found
some
funding
to
include
the
part
of
the
trail,
that's
in
DC,
so
that
includes
a
widening
the
trail
to
11
feet
and
rebuilding
some
bridges.
L
So
that
is
a
very
exciting
project.
I
mentioned
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
and
Southern
Parkway
environmental
assessment,
so
scoping
for
that
just
closed
last
month.
Hopefully
all
of
you
commented
on
it.
We
sent
in
a
bunch
of
comments
trying
to
get
everything
that
we
ever
want
changed
on
the
trail
into
the
scope,
because
that
this
assessment's
gonna
basically
limit
what
can
happen
on
the
trail.
So
if
it's
not
in
the
environmental
assessment
scope,
it's
it's
not
going
to
happen
for
a
while.
L
So
so
that
will
there's
a
couple
things
that
that
that's
going
to
do
so,
one
that
has
to
be
done
in
order
to
do
the
Northern
Trail
reconstruction.
L
L
If
you've
been
past
Crystal
City,
Water
Park,
lately
it's
been
under
construction,
getting
completely
rebuilt,
some
great
things
that
are
going
to
happen
for
the
trail,
for
that
is
there's
going
to
be
a
public
restroom
in
the
park.
Now
they're
going
to
be
more
interesting
things,
particularly
a
bar
at
the
top
of
the
the
water
park
which
I'm
excited
about,
but
more
importantly,
the
the
grading
of
the
the
trail
down
into
the
tunnel
is
going
to
be
flattened
out
a
little
bit.
L
So
if
you
like,
I
haul,
a
trailer
up
that
with
like
three
or
four
hundred
pounds
on
it,
it's
tough.
It's
tough
if
you're
on
a
cabbie.
So
it's
hopefully
going
to
be
easier
for
folks
to
access
the
trail
and
also
leave
the
trail
through
the
connector.
Now
also
coming
up
going
to
start
this
year.
L
I
can't
talk
specifics
about
it,
but
there
will
be
two
bridges
that
are
replaced
on
the
trail
they're
going
to
be
14
foot
wide,
so
super
excited
about
that
construction
is
hopefully
starting
in
March,
but
the
Park
Service
hasn't
released
the
press
release
about
it.
Yet
so
they've
told
me
to
to
not
talk
about
it
too
much.
So
the
other
thing
that's
supposed
to
happen
in
2024
is
Bridge
31,
which
we
all
know
and
love
is
trollheim
is
going
to
get
realigned
a
little
bit.
L
So
the
split
off
that
goes
up
to
tr
versus
going
south
on
the
trail.
That's
been,
the
site
of
many
crashes
is
going
to
get
reconfigured.
Some
so
there'll
be
less
of
a
sharp
turn,
so
that
should
help
some
re-decking,
so
that
should
also
help
with
the
some
of
the
condition
of
the
deck
Gateway
Park.
So
there
was
just
a
release
to
do
some
Contracting
to
construct
a
new
plan
for
that.
L
L
So
this
will
be
our
opportunity
to
to
offer
that
Vision,
as
this
is
a
resource,
that's
adjacent
to
the
trails
that
can
be
used
by
Trail
users,
Theodore
Roosevelt,
Bridge
I
saw
some
designs
that
will
widen
the
very
very
narrow
sidewalk
on
the
TR
Bridge,
which
is
the
reason
why
I
don't
ever
use
the
bridge,
because
it
scares
me
that
I
don't
know
exactly
when
it's
going
to
get
constructed,
but
the
plans
looked
like
they
were
approaching
100
design.
L
The
last
time
I
saw
some
another
great
thing
that's
happening
is
the
Alexandria
power
plant
Redevelopment
in
Alexandria.
L
L
The
developers
really
want
to
connect
that
to
the
trail
and
also
the
Waterfront.
It's
going
to
mean
some
impacts
on
Park
Service
land,
which
also
means
that
they're
gonna
do
some
things
for
the
trail,
in
addition
to
just
connecting
to
it
as
part
of
that
Redevelopment.
The
small
area
plan
there's
also
so
a
lot
of
improvements
to
the
Alexandria
alternate
Trail,
which
currently
runs
along
the
the
fence
of
the
old
Power
Plant.
L
So
that's
going
to
be
greatly
expanded,
with
lots
of
options
for
walking
and
biking
cc
to
DCA
and
also
includes
a
new
connection
to
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
You
can
get
to
the
airport
now
from
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
If
you
go
through
a
sketchy
little
tunnel,
this
should
make
a
much
nicer
connection
that
connects
to
Crystal
City
in
a
new
way
and
also
connects
to
the
airport
Arlington
Cemetery
wall
Trail.
L
There
was
a
a
comment
period
open
right
now
that
is
gonna
connect
from
the
new
Columbia
Pike
to
Memorial
Bridge,
which
then
helps
you
access
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
if
you'd
like
or
into
DC.
So
that's
going
to
be
a
great
development.
I
wish
it
was
there
when
I
lived
on
Columbia
Pike,
but
it's
going
to
be
great
for
future
Trail
users
and
then
the
other
big
thing
is
the
The
Long
Bridge.
L
So
that's
going
to
provide
a
new
connection
as
well
to
to
Crystal
City
and
to
DC
very
direct,
and
so
we're
super
excited
about
that
as
a
project
as
well.
So
that's
a
lot
of
good
stuff
in
the
pipeline
and
I'm
winded
from
it,
so
how
you
can
help
so
the
the
best
thing
you
can
do
is
use
the
trail.
Things
get
resources
when
people
use
them
things,
don't
get
resources
when
people
don't
use
them
so
use
the
trail
enjoy
the
trail.
L
I
hope
you
love
the
trail
as
much
as
I
love.
The
trail
I'd
also
say
lead
with
what
you
love
so
I
open
this
presentation
with
here's
10
things,
I
love
about
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
that
positivity
really
attracts
resources,
attracts
people,
there's
plenty
of
things
that
that
I've
changed
or
that
need
to
change
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
or
that
I
wish
would
change
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
If
I
talked
about
them
all
the
time,
people
would
ask
me:
oh
how
do
you?
L
What
do
you
like
about
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
I
want
to
scare
people
off
it's
great.
L
It's
one
of
the
best
trails
that
I
I
I've
been
on
I
love
using
it
I
use
it
almost
every
day,
so
lead
with
what
you
love
it.
It
gets.
People
excited
it,
builds
a
constituency.
L
So
when
you
talk
about
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
don't
say:
oh
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail
is
terrible
and
it
has
bumps
talk
about
what
you
love
with
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail.
Why
would
you?
Why
would
you
use
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
the
other
way
to
help
the
the
county
has
a
lot
of
say
in
and
works
with
the
National
Park
Service
on
a
lot
of
projects,
although
it's
on
Federal
Land,
you
know
we
have
a
a
bike
plan,
it's
part
of
our
transportation
Network.
L
L
Also
making
the
pitch
come
volunteer
with
us.
We
are
on
the
trail,
almost
every
Saturday,
unless
we
get
rained
out
almost
every
Saturday
for
the
past
two
and
a
half
years,
so
we'd
love
for
you
to
come
out
do
some
direct
service
on
the
trail.
We
are
a
fun
group.
We
take
things
pretty
lightly
if
you've
seen
our
social
media
and
and
it's
a
great
way
to
fix
a
thing
on
a
trail
that
that
you
may
not
like
it's.
L
How
we
identify
most
of
the
things
are
things
that
I
don't
like
so
I
fix
them
and
the
the
amount
of
improvement
that
can
be
done
on
the
trail
right
now.
My
biggest
constraint
is
I
just
need
people
to
show
up
to
do
it.
Our
annual
work
plan
lets
us
fix.
L
Almost
everything
that
that
you
might
find
is
an
issue
on
the
trail.
I
can't
I
can't
widen
it,
but
I
can
shave.
Trail,
bumps
I
need
people
to
show
up
to
to
help
me.
So
I
really
hope
that
you'll
consider
volunteering
or
tell
your
friends
to
volunteer
and,
of
course,
as
an
organization,
we
always
need
money.
So
I
gotta
I
gotta
buy
gas
for
the
bump
grinding
machine.
L
I
gotta
pay
for
storage,
I
gotta
I
gotta
pay
for
insurance,
so
we
will
always
gladly
accept
your
money
at
PayPal
dot
me
slash,
Mount,
Vernon,
Trail
and
with
that
I
will
go
to
my
last
slide,
which
is,
if
there's
any
questions.
A
So
was
absolutely
incredible.
Judd.
Thank
you
for
doing
that.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation
on
all
that
you
do.
We
are
totally
running
over,
so
let's
maybe
Jillian
has
her
hand
up.
Do
you
want
to
do
one
quick
question
Jillian
and
then
we
can,
you
know,
be
in
touch
in
other
ways.
After
this.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
so
much
so
really
quickly.
One
of
the
biggest
things
that
that
is
an
impediment
for
people
using
the
trail
is
the
Memorial
Bridge
underpass,
technically
not
in
Arlington
County.
B
B
I
mainly
just
want
to
put
that
idea
in
your
head.
As
someone
who
talks
to
them
because,
for
example,
my
daughter
is
the
Gunston
it's
pretty
much
on
the
other
side
of
the
Arlington
loop
from
our
house.
She
does
not
take
that
direction
of
the
Arlington
Loop
because
of
Memorial
Bridge
and
instead
Braves
the
other
side
and
going
through
the
places
where
you
have
to
cross
George,
Mason
and
then
charlington
Road.
That's
how
bad
it
is
on
on
Memorial
Bridge.
So
if
we
could
fix
that
that'd
be
great.
L
Yep
I
I
totally
agree
with
you,
as
well
as
the
Crystal
City
underpass.
It
is
definitely
something
that
we
put
in
our
our
comments
for
the
EA
scope
of
this.
You
know
these
pinch
points
need
to
to
be
fixed.
There's
some
challenges
with
sort
of
the
the
conservative
nature
of
of
the
Park
Service
and
those
things
when
I
talk
to
you,
the
regional
transportation
guy
I
bring
that
up.
L
There's
lots
of
times
where
I
have
been
told
no
and
then
on
the
seventh
time
when
I
ask
I'm,
told
yes,
so
I
will
keep
on
mentioning
it.
Every
time.
I
talk
to
him,
you
know
I
go
through
there,
all
the
time,
I
go
there
through
there
pulling
a
trailer
and
there's
times
where
I'm,
like
I,
hope,
I,
don't
scrape
into
the
wall.
So.
L
M
M
The
first
is
the
boardwalk
that's
being
built
on
the
south
Four
Mile
Run
Trail,
because
of
the
Dominion
substation
at
Glebe
Road.
The
expectation
is
that
the
boardwalk
will
be
built
by
March
and
the
current
detour
will
be
left
up
until
then,
so
that
was
that
update
South
George
Mason
Drive,
multimodal
Transportation
study.
We
will
be
having
a
community
meeting
virtually
sometime
in
late
March
and
we'll
also
be
having
a
pop-up
at
Barcroft.
M
The
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
flag
for
this
group.
Actually
I
can
just
go
ahead
and
put
the
engage
page
Arlington,
but
I
was
asked
to
flag
that
the
cemetery
Trail
Concepts
public
comments
that
will
be
open
through
February
24th.
M
A
And
GES
organizational
chart,
do
we
have
such
a
chart?
Is
it
something
that
we
can
send
around
or
I.
M
K
You
are
correct
and
again
we
will
be
on
the
Mount
Vernon
Trail,
down
at
gravity,
Point
from
seven
to
nine
a.m,
and
also
on
the
custis
at
the
bygometer
in
Roslyn.
At
both
places,
McDonald's
in
Roslyn
has
agreed
to
provide
breakfast
burritos.
K
So,
while
supplies
last,
we
will
have
those
and
we've
just
got
a
new
supply
of
our
face,
covering
the
brandanas
with
the
bike
and
walk
Arlington
imagery
on
it,
and
those
will
be
handed
out
to
folks
to
help
with
the
Winter
Chill
as
you
ride
around
so
Raymond
and
I
will
both
be
out
Staffing
that
and
look
forward
to
seeing
you
all
there.
M
M
This
is
a
recent
update,
so
the
deputy
director
of
transportation
and
development
Dennis
Leach
retired,
so
that
is
now
Hui
Wang.
So
she
is
our
new
deputy
director
of
transportation
and
development
and
we'll
be
coming
to
talk
at
a
combined
bacpac
meeting
that
I
believe
is
March
6th
or
March
8th
TBD
on
the
date
I
think,
maybe
March
6th.
M
You
can
see
the
assistant
director
Sarah
Crawford,
so
That
Remains,
the
Same.
You
know
because
who
I
was
the
team?
You
know
bureau
chief,
which
stands
for
transportation,
engineering
and
operations.
M
They
are
looking
to
rehire
for
that
position
and
just
kind
of
a
general
overview,
transportation,
engineering
and
operations
that
includes
design
Engineers,
who
are
you
know,
designing
a
lot
of
the
projects
as
well
as
traffic
signals,
notably
so
the
people
that
you
might
be
interfacing
with
the
most
and
then
you
have
another
Bureau,
which
is
the
Bureau
of
Transportation
Planning,
but
generally
it's
called
tpcpm
or
Transportation
Planning
and
capital
project
management,
a
bureau
chief.
There
is
Valerie
Mosley.
M
If
you're
looking
for
a
little
more
detail,
I,
don't
know
how
detailed
you
want
to
get
so.
The
transportation
planning
manager
is
Allison.
Bullock
who's
attended
this
meeting
quite
a
few
times
and
then
the
manager
of
the
capital
projects
team
is
Jason.
Winstrom
who's
also
attended
these
meetings.
Multiple
times,
then
you
come
over
to
Transit,
which
we're
still
under
the
department
of
transportation.
We
have
Lynn
Rivers
as
the
transit
bureau.
Chief
commuter
Services,
generally
Jim
Larson,
so
accs
is
housed
here
and
then
we
also
have
development
services
and
that's
Louis
Araya.
M
M
K
K
M
M
M
You
know
that
comes
into
play
with
sidewalks
and
Roads
and
bike
lanes,
and
then
also
actually
Solid
Waste,
the
chief
being
Eric
Grabowski,
because
they
do
a
lot
with
the
cleaning
of
essentially
bike
lanes
and
then
Trails,
that's
DPR,
which
is
a
whole
nother
big
chart.
M
You
can
see
that
the
director
of
Des
is
Greg
Emanuel
and
then
the
Chief
Operating
Officer
of
Des
is
Michael
or
Mike
Boone.
That
was
a
very
quick
org
chart.
I
can
also
make
something,
that's
more
updated
and
send
it
around.
If
that's
helpful,
that.
A
A
But
if
you
could
ask
if
you
could
do
that,
that
would
be
amazing.
Just
to
understand
I
mean
I've
been
going
to
these
meetings
for
years
and
I
have
no
idea
where
everyone
sits.
So
that
would
be.
That
would
be
wonderful.
If
we
could,
we
could
all
see
that
did
I
see
it
Dana's
hand
briefly
or
no.
M
M
It
lives
kind
of
in
multiple
places,
I
would
say
generally
it
lives
in
kind
of
the
development
services
that
I
mentioned
when
it's
coming
through
from
a
private
development
standpoint
and
then
we're
reviewing
it
and
then
it
also,
and
then
it
also
lives
under
engineering
Bureau
if
it's
internal,
so
it's
kind
of
in
different
places,
which
goes
into
the
whole
kind
of
conversation
of
my
mots,
are
difficult
because
we're
internally
coordinating
but
then
we're
also
externally
coordinating
but
getting
better
at
coordinating
every
day.
A
All
right,
fantastic,
it's
901!
So
even
though
I
realize
we
all
still
have
questions
about
that
chart
and
would
love
to
look
at
it
a
little
bit
longer.
A
I
guess:
we'd,
better
call
it
quits
for
now,
but
maybe
we
could
do
a
Part,
B
yeah,
because
I
think
yeah.
It
deserves
more
time.
A
Exactly
not
in
March
all
right,
everybody
please
come
to
the
March
meeting,
it'll
be
so
interesting
and
so
important
to
be
able
to
speak
with
everyone
and
figure
this
all
out.
Does
anyone
have
any
last
critical
issues
before
we
jump
off.
