A
Welcome
back
to
County
Board
wrap-up,
where
we
chat
with
county
board
members
about
key
decisions
they
make
at
their
monthly
meetings
joining
us
today
is
County
Board,
Chair,
Katie
crystal
and
board
member
Eric
cutshall.
Thank
you
both
once
again
and
let's
talk
if
there
was
a
contract
approved
along
Walter,
Reed,
Drive
and
12th
Street
South
for
a
bike.
Boulevard
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
this.
This
sounds
very
intriguing.
Absolutely.
B
So
this
is
one
of
several
projects
we've
been
pursuing
to
basically
make
biking
more
comfortable
along
Columbia
Pike.
We
know
this
is
a
heavily
traversed
route.
We
know
it's
a
community
full
of
people
like
myself,
I
live
on
Columbia
Pike
interested
in
alternative
forms
of
transit,
it's
the
most
highly
bus
trafficked
corridor
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia,
and
so
there
has
been
a
desire,
starting
in
2013,
to
make
biking
more
manageable
along
the
pike,
starting
with
the
creation
of
these
bike
boulevards.
B
B
Pike
and
so
in
some
places
we
try
to
create
the
bike
facility
within
that
main
roadway
and
the
decision
was
made
in
2013.
That's
the
best
way
to
move
people
safely
and
comfortably,
because
we
know
that's
really
important
when
it
comes
to
whether
people
choose
biking.
The
best
way
to
do
that
on
Columbia
Pike
was
through
these
parallel
bite
boulevards
rather
than
on
the
pike
itself
and.
A
So
how
does
this
fit
in
I
know?
We
have
talked
I
feel
ad
nauseam
for
years
now
about
different
transportation.
Improvements
along
the
pike,
as
you
said,
is
one
of
the
most
heavily
traversed
areas,
not
only
in
Arlington
but
probably
throughout
the
entire
Commonwealth.
How
does
this
particular
venture
fit
into
that
I
think.
C
This
project
is
actually
exemplary
of
our
overall
approach
to
how
we
do
transportation
planning
in
which
is
it's
about
every
mode
of
transportation
that
we
can
think
of.
So
rather,
we
want
to
make
things
safer
for
pedestrians
to
walk
places,
the
more
people
that
can
walk
to
where
their
destination
or
walk
to
transit.
C
A
A
B
A
C
This
is
part
of
the
vision
of
our
Columbia
Pike
neighborhoods
plan,
right
that
we
want
to
have
this
corridor
and
we
know
that
private
investment
will
follow
public
investments.
So
this
is
just
one
of
many
projects
and
there's
a
lot
more
investment,
that's
to
come
in
the
pike,
but
as
we
go
bit
by
bit,
I
think
we're
gonna
see
that
that
the
pike
will
realize
its
future.
A
That
it
sounds
like
a
perfect
place
to
believe
it
for
this
particular
addition.
That's
it
for
this
month's
County
Board
wrap
up.
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today
for
some
of
the
behind
the
scenes,
information
on
decisions.
The
Board
took
at
its
February
meeting,
Thank
You,
Katie
and
Eric

walking
us
through
those
actions
and

your
decisions.

Kara,
O'donnell
