Description
A wrap-up of decisions made at Arlington County Government’s October 2021 Board meeting.
A
B
Well,
first
of
all,
we
are
really
excited
to
to
test
a
new
level
of
traffic
calming
and
a
new
level
of
providing
more
pedestrian
safety
on
our
streets
and
and
around,
and
that's
the
major
criteria
around
schools
in
the
sense.
So
these
are
13
locations,
they're
all
schools.
Basically,
there
are
11
public
schools
and
two
private
schools,
and
this
is
an
excellent
place
to
to
start
a
program
like
that
to
collect
data,
collect
experience
and
see
how
we
can
how
you
know
how
much
of
an
additional
safety
this
this
actually
provides.
B
I'm
I'm
pretty
confident
that
all
results
and
all
experience
out
of
this
program
will
be
very
positive
and
will
encourage
us
to
look
at
more
locations
where
we
have
the
pedestrian
traffic
that
we
want
to
to
protect
the
pedestrians
that
we
want
to
protect.
It's
part
of
our
vision,
zero
work,
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
a
new
level
of
also.
B
You
know,
including
drivers,
to
understand
that
you
know
the
safety
on
the
street
is
a
collaborative
product
of
everybody.
Working
together.
C
I
think
it's
so
important.
I
know
that
we
all
get
into
rush,
sometimes,
but
think
about
how
critical
it
is
when
you
think
about
your
kids
or
your
neighbors
kids,
who
are
five
to
eleven,
how
desperately
we
want
the
vaccine
for
them.
It's
also
just
a
moment,
if
you're
going
too
quickly
in
a
school
zone
that
can
have
lifetime
repercussions
for
you
and
a
child,
and
so
we
all
have
to
remember
myself
included
to
just
slow
down
in
these
zones,
and
so
this
is
a
great
way
of
making
sure
we
do.
C
B
B
Right,
the
national
international
experience
with
that
is
extremely
positive.
It
really
reduces
the
risk
of
crashes
and
and
fatal
injuries
and
fatal
injuries.
It
makes
life
for
everybody
better
for
for
the
kids,
for
the
drivers
for
the
neighborhood
for
school.
So
that's
that's
a
win-win-win.
