Hello
and
welcome
to
county
board
wrap
up
where
each
month
we
take
an
in-depth
look
at
the
key
actions
by
the
county
board,
as
well
as
important
county
news
that
affects
you
and
our
community.
I'm
your
host,
cara,
o'donnell
and
joining
me
today,
as
always,
is
county
board,
chair,
matt
deferenti
as
well
as
board
member
christian
dorsey,
and
we
have
a
special
guest
star
this
month
on
county
board,
wrap
up
in
his
first
appearance
with
us
county
manager
mark
schwartz
mark.
A
Thank
you
for
joining
us
today,
matt
christian
you
as
well
now
everyone's
here
today
to
talk
about
two
big
issues:
the
county's
ongoing
response
to
the
pandemic,
including
the
vaccine
program,
as
well
as
the
proposed
fiscal
year
2022
budget.
Now
we'll
start
with
the
covet
19
pandemic.
It's
officially
been
deemed
the
longest
local
emergency
in
arlington's
history
and
as
we
approach
the
one
year
mark
of
that
emergency,
it
remains
county
government's
top
priorities.
So
mark
I'm
gonna
start
with
you.
A
B
B
I
have
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
our
site
down
at
sequoia
and
we
are
doing
a
very
I,
I
think,
an
excellent
job
once
people
are
showing
up
getting
them
through
the
system,
either
getting
the
moderna
or
pfizer
vaccine
and
getting
all
sorts
of
information
out
to
people.
The
one
thing
that
we're
spending
a
lot
of
time
on
right
now
is
trying
to
get
people
pre-registered,
and
I
know
that
board
members
have
been
very
focused
on
this.
B
You
can't
get
vaccinated
unless
you
pre-register
and
that's
been
the
main
focus
of
what
we've
been
doing
and
people
we
really
want
people
to
get
involved
in
that
and
sort
of.
The
last
point
is
that
we
do
not
have
nearly
enough
vaccine
we're
still
getting
shy
of
about
3
000
vaccine
doses
a
week
and
with
that
the
pace
is
still
going
much
slower
than
we
would
like.
A
B
The
state
asked
us
to
shut
down
our
pre-registration
system
and
they
were
going
to
stand
up
a
statewide
system
on
the
15th,
which
was
a
tuesday,
so
that
is,
we
shut
our
system
down.
The
states
stood
up
its
system
on
the
15th.
The
state
system
hasn't
worked
very
well
for
for
the
moment,
they're
working
on
improving
it,
but
I
wanted
to
assure
everybody
everyone
who
signed
up
with
arlington
the
over
40
000
people
who
pre-registered
they
are
in
line
all
their
names
are
intact
and
we're
working
our
way
through
that
list.
B
We
still
have
a
fair
amount
to
go.
People
who've,
signed
up
with
the
state
system,
have
been
frustrated
because,
as
they
sign
up-
and
they
go
back
in
to
check
to
see
if
they
can
see
their
name,
that
isn't
actually
functioning
very
well.
At
the
moment,
we've
been
told
by
the
state
that
by
the
end
of
the
week,
we're
in
right
now,
which
is
the
26th
27th,
that
that
should
be
better.
B
But
it's
caused
a
lot
of
frustration
on
the
part
of
a
lot
of
arlingtonians
who
wanted
to
go
in
and
make
sure,
because
our
data
was
supposed
to
be
in
the
state
system
to
check.
You
know
people
want
to
know
that
they're
in
there
they
type
in
their
name
and
it
doesn't
come
back
and
it
adds
to
their
sense
of
frustration
and
panic,
and
so
a
lot
of
people
have
been
going
in
and
registering
on
the
state
system.
A
B
Yes,
so
thanks
for
that
question,
you
know
the
federal
government
has
been
providing
a
relatively
small
number
of
doses
directly
to
pharmacies.
So
in
arlington
there
are
three
safeways
there's
also
a
cvs
along
columbia,
pike
and
a
giant
on
south
glebe
road
they've
been
getting
some.
When
I
say
small
small
amounts,
I
think
70
doses
have
been
going
to
each
of
the
safeways.
B
B
The
pharmacies
have
said
they're
going
to
limit
the
people
who
get
to
take
those
vaccines
to
those
who
are
65
and
older,
but
they
have
not
said
they
would
limit
it
to
arlingtonians.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
strange
dance
going
on
now,
where
people
in
virginia
are
trying
to
find
whatever
cvs,
whatever
giant
whatever
safe
way,
they
can
to
go
in
and
get
a
shot,
and
it's
led
to
some
additional.
A
C
So
I
think
that's
very
important
because
we
know
historically,
our
black
and
brown
residents
have
been
underserved
in
terms
of
health
care
and
we
really
have
to
make
sure
that
our
vaccine
doses
are
going
to
those
most
in
need
and
most
at
risk,
which,
unfortunately,
still
is
the
case
more
often
than
we'd,
like
our
communities
and
individuals
of
color.
So
we're
working,
the
free
clinic
is
located
on
columbia,
pike
and
it's
there's
an
opportunity
because
they
have
relationships
with
individuals
that
are
uninsured
and
underinsured
and
we
can
help
address
equity
in
that
way.
C
So
that's
that's
a
those
are
two
components,
and
you
mentioned
also
vaccine
hesitancy
and
I
think
that's
something
that
the
whole
board
has
not
been
stunned
at,
but
has
seen
that
arlingtonians
have
really
stepped
up
and
christian.
I
know
you've
talked
about
that
in
part,
as
well
as
the
equity
issue
too.
D
It
was
designed
to
address
those
most
at
risk,
and
we
understand
that
many
people
who
are
at
significant
risk
for
covet
complications
and
severe
illness
and
death
happen
to
be
people
who
are
racial
and
ethnic
minorities,
and
if
they
are
in
those
priority
groups
for
age
and
occupation,
they
have
had
access
to
this
vaccine
from
the
very
beginning.
But
within
that
we
know
that.
There's
that
second
layer
that
you
talked
about
cara
are
there.
D
The
wonderful
decision
to
repurpose
our
complete
count
committee
that
work
towards
community
engagement
in
the
census
to
a
complete
vaccination
effort
is
just
a
master
stroke
and
getting
those
individuals
to
recruit
partner
organizations
who
will
then
go
to
to
communities
who
we
want
to
prioritize
and
make
sure
get
vaccinated,
making
sure
they.
They
not
only
know
what
the
processes
are
that
need
to
be
followed,
but
that
they
can
address
any
questions
about
vaccine
hesitancy
for
people
who
may
rightly
have
a
distrust
of
these
national
vaccination
programs.
A
C
Food
insecurity
has
increased
and
we
as
a
board,
have
stepped
up
with
resources,
but
we're
also
in
the
process
of
finalizing
a
committee
that
led
by
mark
as
manager,
but
with
all
of
our
support
and
input
that
is
going
to
seek
to
address
the
the
increase
in
hunger
and
also
create
some
thoughts
and
and
a
strategic
plan
to
address
the
sustainability
of
our
hunger
system.
We've
had
a
lot
of
pta
presidents
step
up
and
we
need
to
get
their
best
thinking
and
really
work
on
that
challenge.
C
So
those
are
two
and
I'm
sure
that
there's
there's
others.
We
continue,
as
you
said,
covet
is,
and,
and
vaccine
are
our
first
second
third
priorities
at
this
moment.
So
I
don't
know
mark
or
christian.
If
you
had
pieces
to
add
we're
doing
a
lot
as
we
try
to
respond
to
the
the
year
anniversary
of
the
pandemic,.
D
And
I'll
just
maybe
tee
up
mark
from
the
next
segment.
By
saying
you
know,
the
unfortunate
reality
of
this
pandemic
is
while
it
has
certainly
affected
some
people
most
acutely,
those
who
have
gotten
sick
those
who
have
died,
those
who
are
facing
the
severe
you
know,
life
sustainability,
issues
that
matt
mentioned,
but
it's
it
affects
everyone.
Every
single
resident
and
stakeholder
in
our
community,
and
one
of
the
ways
in
which
that's
very
well
reflected
is
in
how
it's
impacted.
County
government
in
our
budget
revenues
have
been
significantly
curtailed.
D
In
addition
to
meeting
extraordinary
needs,
it
means
that
there's
had
to
be
an
on
the
fly,
rethinking
of
how
we
do
just
about
everything
in
arlington
county
government,
with
not
only
new
revenue
levels
in
the
immediate,
but
also
an
outlook
that
is
at
best
uncertain.
So
you
know
this
is
something
where
covid
covet
all
of
the
time,
but
the
reverberations
and
echoes
you
can't
escape
them.
They're
everywhere,.
A
B
So,
given
that,
in
order
to
balance
the
gap
between
revenues
and
expenses
and
as
christian
just
said,
our
revenues
have
been
affected
severely
most
significantly.
If
you
take
a
look
at
our
hotel
occupancy
rates
and
taxes,
those
are
down
15,
16
million
dollars
our
meals
taxes,
tax
receipts
are
down
in
order
to
bridge
that
gap,
we've
had
to
do
a
couple
of
things.
B
B
The
other
piece
of
it
is
something
which
isn't
very
traditional,
at
least
in
all
the
budgets.
I've
worked
on
where
we're
proposing
to
use
some
funds
that
are
coming
from
some
lease
renegotiations
and
some
one-time
funds
to
bridge
us
to
what
hopefully,
will
be
a
better
fiscal
year
in
calendar.
You
know
when
we
get
to
calendar
22.,
given
all
that
you
know
the
cuts.
B
People
will
notice
some
of
the
reductions
in
services
and
some
of
the
changes,
but
you
know
we're
also
able
to
we
took
some
extra
cuts
so
that
we
were
able
to
turn
back
some
of
that
money
into
some
investments
which
I
think
are
still
important
around
equity
and
around
some
of
the
work
that
our
police
practices
group
has
done,
recommended
some
enhancements
in
some
of
our
processes
with
police
and
mental
health,
police
and
traffic.
Also,
some
focus
on
some
other
areas
that
we'll
we'll
get
a
chance
to
talk
about.
B
So
overall,
you
know
not
an
incredibly
draconian
budget
in
that
respect,
but
individual
taxpayers,
the
res
on
the
residential
side,
residential
values,
have
gone
up.
I
proposed
a
flat
tax
rate.
The
board
advertised
a
flat
tax
rate
that
still
will
see
individuals
paying
more
on
average
and
I'm
glad
that
we
were
able
to
propose
a
flat
tax
rate.
The
only
other
thing
I
would
note
is
in
a
separate
area
of
the
budget.
B
We
haven't
proposed,
increasing
the
rate
associated
with
stormwater
and
that's
something
that
we've
worked
on
really
hard
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
since
the
floods
of
july
2019
and
happy
to
say
that
I
think
we
have
a
good
down
payment
on
the
first
step
of
trying
to
address.
What's
about
60
or
70
years
of
benign
or
even
malignant
neglect
when
it
comes
to
storm
water-
and
you
know
some
very
exciting
efforts
there
so
I'll.
I
will
stop
with
that.
A
Now,
mark
you
mentioned
that
you
know
last
year,
as
we
saw,
you
had
to
kind
of
come
back
and
revise
the
fiscal
year
2021
budget
numerous
times
as
some
of
our
early
predictions
for
the
pandemic
had
to
be
revised
a
bit.
Do
you
expect
some
of
the
same
this
year
since
there's
still
so
much
uncertainty
out
there.
B
The
primary
thing,
if
you
look
at
our
budget
message,
is
that
we've
set
aside
a
17
and
a
half
million
dollar
bucket
of
contingency
funding
to
try
to
act
as
a
shock
absorber
to
try
to
not
have
to
upset
the
rest
of
the
budget
every
single
time.
We
need
to
make
a
decision
to
allocate
funds
towards
all
the
things
that
matt
and
christian
have
talked
about,
whether
it's
eviction
prevention,
food
assistance
working
with
our
small
businesses.
B
So
I'm
hoping
we
don't
need
to
do
a
lot
of
readjusting,
except
looking
at
that
fund
the
one
place
where
I
wasn't
able
to
do
what
I
had
hoped
to
do
wasn't
for
our
employees.
So
we
may
come
back
depending
on
what
happens
with
the
american,
the
american
recovery
plan.
That's
what
it's
called
going
through
the
house
and
senate
right
now.
B
If
additional
funds
come
to
us,
there
may
be
a
way
to
address
some
of
the
shortfalls
in
employee
compensation,
and
there
were
also
a
few
service
reductions
built
into
a
few
of
our
library
branches.
Maybe
we'd
be
able
to
address
that
so
yeah.
You
know
the.
I
wrote
the
only
thing,
that's
constant
in
this
budget.
It's
going
to
sound
trite
is
going
to
be
change,
but
we
try
to
construct
it
so
that
we
don't
have
to
redo
the
entire
budget,
like
we
had
to
do
last
year.
Right.
C
C
I
will
say
that
the
the
16
and
a
half
17
million
that
mark
mentioned
in
contingency
for
covet,
really
makes
sense
to
me
and
also,
I
think
you
alluded
to
it
mark,
but
the
the
federalist
federal
help
here
is
critical.
If
we
want
to
provide
help
to
small
businesses,
which
our
grant
program
earlier
last
year
did
really
well,
we
need
some
of
those
resources
and
we
also
need
them
to
help
address
some
of
the
covet
costs
for
health
in
addition
to
hunger
and
housing.
So
we'll
get
into
to
the
details.
C
I
do
think
that
this
proposal
is
a
is
a
very
good
starting
point
and
the
process
plays
out
from
here
through
until
into
april,
when
we'll
have
our
final
budget
hearing
and
adopt
a
budget
at
that
point.
So
we
got
some
work
to
do,
but
we
started
with
at
least
from
my
view,
a
good
place
to
to
begin
our
conversation.
D
And
as
always,
our
community
will
have
their
say
as
many
have
exercised
already
through
letters
and
comments
to
the
county
board.
We
will
have
opportunities
that
culminate
with
those
public
hearings
that
matt
mentioned
in
april
on
both
the
budget
proposal
itself
and
the
tax
rate
proposal.
So
our
public
has
ample
opportunity
and
we
welcome
comments
through
any
channel
that
anyone
prefers.
A
Okay,
well,
we
will
continue
this
conversation
over
the
next
few
months
as
well
with
that
we're
going
to
take
our
first
break
mark.
Thank
you
very
much
for
being
our
special
guest
star
today
on
county
board,
wrap
up
and
discuss
some
of
the
challenges
the
county's
facing
both
with
vaccines
and
the
budget.
We
will
take
that
short
break
and
when
we
come
back
I'll
talk
with
the
chair
and
board
member
dorsey
about
some
big
changes
coming
to
the
county's,
long-standing
residential
parking
permit
program
stay
with
us.
A
A
The
board's
action
taken
in
february
culminated
a
three-year
review
process
and
was
the
first
major
review
of
the
program
in
more
than
a
decade,
and
it
was
certainly
not
without
quite
a
bit
of
controversy
and
some
public
comment
on
the
process.
So
we
will
dive
right
in
with
that
matt.
Why
don't
you
start
and
kind
of
give
us
an
overview.
C
So
those
of
us
who
don't
live
in
these
permit
zones
aren't
subsidizing
the
program
entirely
for
the
10,
who
do
so
that's
going
to
mean
an
increase
in
fees
for
so
that
the
program
can
be
budget
neutral,
but-
and
that's
also,
we
think,
going
to
be
fair
as
we
seek
to
use
every
all
of
our
resources
equitably
across
the
whole
county.
So
that's
some
of
it.
We
also
took
a
major
step
in
listening
to
comment
and
did
not
end
up
adopting
the
two
hour
paid
parking
in
these
residential
permit
zones.
C
That's
what
we
heard
from
so
many
residents
about,
and
the
board
had
consensus
that
at
this
stage
it
just
wasn't
the
right
step,
because
if
you
think
about
some
of
the
areas
clarendon
and
crystal
city,
we
don't
want
them
to
become
places
where
commuters
come
in
park
there
and
go
into
work
via
metro.
So
that's
kind
of
a
high
level
there's
a
lot
of
detail
in
this
policy,
but
that's
a
high
level
of
of
what
we
steps
we
took
in
this.
A
Well
to
that-
and
I
know
there
were
several
different
options
that
the
board
was
presented
with
for
in
terms
of
what
some
of
these
revamped
programs
might
look
like.
But
let's
focus
on
the
option
that
you
ultimately
decided
on
and
what
are
kind
of
the
different
steps
within
that
or
features
within
that.
C
Sure
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
and
christian.
I
know
you
had
thought
a
lot
thoughtful
comments.
As
we
tried
to
balance
this.
We
we
talked
a
little
bit
about.
I
mentioned
the
two
hour
piece
of
things
that
we
eventually
opted
not
to
include,
but
we
also
talked
about
the
number
of
passes
that
is
available
to
homeowners
and
expanding
the
program
so
that
small
apartment
buildings
and
townhomes
also
can
get
residential
permits.
C
C
So
those
are
two
components
of
big
components
that
we
worked
on,
and
I
know
that
there's
number
that
were
important
to
you
christian.
I
also
think
that
we
shared
the
view
on
on
allowing
the
multi-family
residences.
There
was
an
equity
perspective
that
I
think
the
whole
board
really
shared.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
add
on
that.
D
Yeah,
those
are
the
two
top
line
takeaways.
For
me,
I
mean
this
was
a
three
plus
year
process,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day,
I
think
the
result
should
clearly
be
seen
as
one
that's
created
a
program
that
is
efficient
and
equitable.
I
mean,
and
really
at
the
end
of
the
day
when
it
comes
to
the
use
of
a
public
resource.
That's
exactly
what
you
want.
D
Well,
that
should
be
treated
the
same,
whether
you
are
a
single-family
home
or
a
multi-family
building
and
in
fact,
in
many
ways
getting
back
to
the
roots
of
this
program,
because
when
it
began,
it
didn't
make
that
distinction
between
housing
types
and
somehow
over
the
years
that
had
crept
in
and
I'm
really
glad
that
we
were
able
to
confront
that
and
and
then
fundamentally
you
know
it's.
It's
just
really
an
important
thing
for
people
to
consider.
D
A
There's
a
long
time
in
coming
all
right.
Well,
the
board
also
did
approve
some
large
contracts
for
infrastructure
projects,
including
a
new
operations
and
maintenance
facility
for
arlington
art,
bus
system,
a
water
main
project
and
a
long
and
weighted
second
elevator
for
the
pentagon
city
metro
station.
So,
let's
start
with
the
art
contract.
Matt
christian
would
give
some
of
the
details
of
that
we'll
just
go
through
all
of
them.
C
Sure
I'll
say
a
little.
I
know
this
is
actually
an
area
where
christian
you,
the
you've,
taken
a
keen
interest
in
the
operations
and
the
facility,
but
some
who
are
watching
may
not
know
that
we
currently
park
and
maintain
some
of
our
buses
down
3.95
and
I
got
in
the
in
my
orientation.
I
got
the
glory
of
going
down
there
and
it
became
so
clear
so
quickly
that
it
was
not
good
policy
to
in
the
midst
of
rush
hour.
C
Have
our
buses
be
or
whenever
be
be
sort
of
wasted
miles
down
to
to
this
facility.
So
this
is
bringing
that
together
we're
going
to
have
a
facility
that
we
approved
the
initial
stages
in
the
contract,
but
we'll
have
some
design
discussions
to
come,
but
we're
going
to
do
this
at
our
shirlington
facility
and
so
we're
deciding
to
make
this
investment.
And
it's
exciting
to
see
that
you
can.
C
You
can
kind
of
see
the
horizon
when
this
will
get
done
and
it
will
be
a
big
step
forward
for
our
bus
system
and
our
county
with
some
potential
for
green
benefits,
both
in
terms
of
the
lack
of
miles,
but
also
in
terms
of
how
we're
designing
this
facility.
So
it's
it's
a
a
good
step
forward.
I
know
you've
worked
on
it
quite
a
bit
christian
yeah.
D
So
you
know:
garaging,
our
fleet
has
been
the
subject
of
lots
of
different
county
board
wrap-up
conversations
over
the
years
as
our
art
fleet
has
expanded,
and
it's
outgrown
really
the
spaces
that
we've
had
available
for
it.
So
this
facility,
along
with
what
exists
in
crystal
city,
will
be
able
to
accommodate
our
projected.
D
You
know
bus
system
which
is
going
to
benefit
all
taxpayers,
certainly
going
to
benefit
bus
riders
by
allowing
for
repairs
and
maintenance
to
be
performed
much
more
quickly,
meaning
that
you
should
have
better
on-time
performance.
I
mean
this
is
just
good
overall
and
when
we
look
at
the
you
know,
situation
of
where
the
facility
is
located.
You
know
we
were
fortunate
to
be
able
to
consolidate
several
part
parcels
close
to
where
you
know.
D
D
This
really
is
one
of
the
elusive
opportunities
for
multiple
wins
from
public
policy
decisions,
and
I
think
another
thing
we
should
mention:
the
costs
for
this
facility
are
not
going
to
be
born
by
arlington
alone.
There
are
significant
grants
and
other
cost
sharing.
That's
going
to
be
borne
by
state
transit
agencies
in
this
work
as
well.
So
I'm
excited
about
it.
A
D
Well,
you
know,
as
we
think,
about
sustainability.
You
know:
we've
had
our
community
energy
plan,
which
looks
at
very
aggressive
targets
for
county
facilities
in
arlington
county
in
general
to
be
carbon
neutral
within
our
lifetimes
or
you
know.
Hopefully
I
get
to
live
that
long.
You
know,
if
we're
going
to
achieve
that,
you
actually
have
to
make
sure
every
time
you
invest
in
a
public
facility.
D
D
But
what
we
can
do
is
to
go
through
the
design
process
and
not
make
any
decisions
that
don't
allow
us
to
make
this
an
efficient
net,
zero
building
and
then
hopefully
give
us
time
to
figure
out
how
we
prioritize
other
resources
to
bring
to
the
project
so
that
when
it
is
time
to
construct,
we
can
actually
have
whatever
county
board
is
making
the
decisions
at
the
time
to
to
make
that
decision
to
to
go
all
the
way
to
net
zero.
So
that's
that's.
D
Why
we're
kind
of
doing
that
and
hoping
to
ask
other
people
who
build
things
for
the
future?
Even
if
you
don't
necessarily
see
that
it's
you
know
efficient
or
cost
effective
for
you
to
do
it
now
design
it
so
that
you
can
be
ready
so
that
hopefully
you'll
make
the
right
decision
when
it
comes
time
to
construct.
A
C
C
This
is
the
sort
of
ongoing
good
governance
that
we
have
to
do.
Even
while
a
lot
of
us
are
focused
and
a
lot
of
our
attention
is
focused
on
kovid,
we
have
to
be
able
to
walk
and
chew
gum
at
the
same
time,
and
this
is
part
of
that
work,
so
we
awarded
a
contract
to
provide
a
backup
line
to
make
sure
that
70
plus
year
old
water
line
has
support,
and
so
our
services
can
continue.
C
C
I'll
just
briefly
say,
if
you
look
at
the
pictures
that
the
there's
a
need
for
accessibility
and
and
that
second
elevator
is
gonna,
provide
accessibility,
and
this
is
also
the
sort
of
you
know.
Transportation
infrastructure
is
so
critical,
and
so
that's
why
this
is
a
good
project,
but
I
know
you've
also
worked
on
this
christian
there's
economic
development
benefits
to
this
as
well.
So.
D
Absolutely
we've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while.
It's
been
a
priority
and
it's
been
a
a
complicated
maze
to
navigate
through
not
only
our
processes
but
working
with
the
washington
metropolitan
area
transit
authority
on
making
sure
that
this
could
get
prioritized
and
you
know,
look
anyone
who's
visited
the
pentagon
city
metro
station
understands
the
the
key
deficiency
there.
We've
only
got
one
elevator
that
exists
on
the
costco
side.
D
We
don't
have
one
that
exists
on
the
fashion
center
side,
so
people
need
to
cross
hay
street,
which
I
don't
know,
what's
that
six
lanes
of
traffic
plus
a
bike
lane
in
order
to
do
that.
So
this
is
very
much
about
mobility
for
people
who
are
ambulatory
impaired
people
who
are
with
strollers
packages
whatever
it
also
with
the
amount
of
development
that
we
have
going
on
all
throughout
the
area.
This
is
going
to
be
an
important
relief
valve.
We
also
know
that
sometimes
equipment
fails.
D
So
when
one
elevator
is
out-
and
you
only
have
one
elevator
available-
then
you
have
lots
of
inconvenience
and
disruption.
So
this
will
provide
some
redundancy
and
I'm
I'm
really
thrilled
that
part
of
what
this
allocation
will
do
is
also
to
improve
the
existing
elevator,
give
it
a
little
bit
of
a
an
aesthetic
upgrade,
so
it
better
matches
the
surrounding
environment.
So
I
love
the
access
and
I
love
the
ability
that
this
can
really
serve.
What
is
an
extremely
important
and
significant
transit
corridor
throughout
the
region.
A
One
that's
going
to
continue
to
grow
into
the
future
as
well
all
right!
Well
so
february
was
another
action-packed
month
for
the
arlington
county
board,
from
ramping
up
coven
19
vaccinations
to
unveiling
the
2022
budget
to
reworking
the
residential
parking
permit
program
and
these
infrastructure
projects
matt
and
christian.
Thank
you
both
for
joining
us
here
today
and
helping
us
break
down
some
of
these
very
important
issues,
and
we
hope
that
you
will
join
us
once
again
next
month,
when
we
once
again
take
a
look
at
the
key
issues
facing
the
board
and
our
community.
