It's
truly
an
exciting
day
here
in
Arlington
County,
as
we
open
the
crystal
city
and
Potomac
Yard
Transitway.
This
project
was
in
partnership
with
the
city
of
Alexandria
and
Metro
to
deliver
the
region's
first
right
of
way
dedicated
to
premium
bus
service.
Here
with
us
today
is
Dennis
leach
Arlington's,
director
of
Transportation
Dennis.
Thank
you
so
much
for
having
us
good.

Because
it
is
actually
connecting
all
these
neighborhoods
together,
some
of
these
neighborhoods
were
built
around
metro
rail,
but
there
are
great
distances
in
between,
and
so
the
intention
of
this
facility
and
the
service
is
really
to
provide
it.
Easy
to
use
connection
between
our
various
neighborhoods
in
alexandria
and
arlington
and.
C
Can
expect
reliable,
frequent
high
quality
service,
we
run
every
six
minutes
with
our
Metro
a
service,
every
12
minutes
off
peak,
which
is
very
reliable
service.
It's
like
metro,
rail
and,
as
you
can
see,
really
attractive
station
amenities,
large
waiting
areas,
good
weather
protection,
lighting,
real-time
transit
information.
Thank.
