B
To
the
March
first
transportation,
commission
meeting
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
citizen
comment
when
matters
not
on
the
agenda.
We
have
no
speakers
from
for
item
number
1
item
number
2
is
the
Lynn
Street
s
panade
and
Rosalyn.
Tonight
we
have
Tom
Hutchings
from
des
transportation.
To
give
you
an
overview.
C
Thank
you
for
having
me
tonight,
I'd
like
to
describe
this
as
the
first
pre-construction
update
for
the
Lynn
Street
Esplanade
project
I
presented
this
a
number
of
times
in
the
past,
but
I'd
like
to
walk
quickly
through
the
scope
of
the
project,
the
importance
of
the
project
and
finish
up
with
the
schedule
of
the
timing
going
forward.
The
Lynn
Street
Esplanade
project
has
been
transferred
in
late-stage
to
V
dot
in
order
to
conduct
the
construction
phase,
construction,
administration
and
construction.
C
This
is
something
new
for
the
county,
but
the
VDOT
has
has
awarded
the
contract
and
so
we're
at
a
new
place
here
with
the
project
and
were
pleased
that
we're
finally
getting
ready
to
go
to
construction.
So,
overall,
this
intersection
I
think
we've
all
heard
of
it.
You've
known
about
it.
For
years,
the
the
intersection
of
Lee,
Highway
and
Lynn
Street
is
the
center
of
the
project.
C
This
is
a
very
important
bike
and
pedestrian
crossing
from
two
directions
that
Custis
trail
going
east
and
west
has
600,000
annual
combined
bike
and
walkers
using
the
trail
and
this
we
just
ran
these
numbers
recently
and
over
1.8
million
combined
bikes
and
walkers.
Going
between
Rosslyn
and
Georgetown,
so
this
is
this
is
an
important
intersection
for
Arlington
and
pedestrians
and
bikes
the
project
area.
C
I
think
a
lot
of
you
know
is
from
Lynn
Street
going
across
I
66
in
the
Lee
Highway,
eastbound
and
westbound,
and
then
the
Custis
trail
section
from
Lin
Street
all
the
way
up
to
North
Oak
Street,
including
Fort
Myer
and
the
driveway
entrances
in
front
of
the
Marriott.
So
real,
quick,
I
think
there
isn't
anyone
here
who
hasn't
been
at
this
intersection.
Look
looking
towards
Key
Bridge!
Here
we
are
looking
west
towards
the
Marriott
with
the
trail
on
the
right.
C
The
improvements
that
are
scheduled
for
construction
this
spring
will
widen
the
sidewalk
on
the
east
side
from
10
to
20.
Feet
will
make
much
larger
landing
areas,
queuing
areas
for
bikes
and
pedestrians,
it'll
incorporate
sculptures
under
a
separate
program
and
I'd
only
widen
the
bike
trail
and
shorten
the
crossing
distances.
C
So
here's
a
kind
of
a
quick
graphic
of
the
whole
length
of
the
trail,
we're
also
widening,
as
I
said,
widening
the
trail
to
16
feet
and
providing
a
6
foot
buffer
between
the
trail
and
the
curb
which
was
not
there
before
that
and
streetlights
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
The
intent
here
is
to
take
what
is
somewhat
of
a
highway
going
westbound
and
turning
it
into
more
of
an
urban
Street
and
improving
pedestrian
and
bike
safety
at
all
the
intersections
new
signals
as
part
of
the
project.
C
So
a
close-up
of
the
of
the
construction
details
of
the
new
sidewalk,
clear
zone,
concrete,
sidewalk,
paver
edges
planting
pits
the
sculpture
locations
of
the
four
round
locations.
This
is
a
public
art
initiative
under
a
separate
program
and
separate
budget,
and
these
sculptures
will
be
installed
fabricating
the
stalled
at
during
a
later
phase
of
the
project.
C
So
here's
a
little
over
graphic,
including
the
custom
fence
that
will
be
bridging
over
I
66,
close-up
of
the
much
larger
area
for
pedestrians,
walkers
queuing
and
the
wall
around
the
sculpture
itself,
a
little
hard
to
see
in
here,
but
it's
a
seating
wall.
It
kind
of
creates
a
an
interest
and
so
here's
a
kind
of
a
graphic
of
the
sculptures.
This
is
these
are
by
cliff
garden
out
of
California.
C
So
once
again,
16-foot
wide
trail,
a
wider
buffer,
and
the
interesting
part
about
this
project
I
may
have
mentioned
this
before
is
we
did
an
extensive
study
and
VDOT
approved
a
lane
reduction?
There
was
three
lanes
up
to
North
Oak
Street.
It's
now
dropping
down
to
two
lanes,
and
that
was
it's
just
fascinating
that
this
was
Davis
was
agreed
to
it.
C
The
the
quick
backstory
here
is
that
we
all
sat
in
the
meeting
and
they
said
we
need
that
Lane
for
emergency,
exiting
of
Washington
DC
during
disasters,
as
we
had
seen,
and
we
had
photographs
of
people
walking
in
that
Lane
and
all
the
cars
were
stopped
and
all
the
people
were
moving.
So
it
was
a
compelling
story.
C
Once
again,
this
is
the
corner
here.
This
graphic
is
an
old
graphic.
I
apologize
there.
The
little
funny
triangle
in
the
lower
right,
Custis
trail
entrance
is
not
there.
That
was
at
one
point
to
protect
a
telephone
pole,
but
that
telephone
pole
has
gone
away.
The
undergrounding
has
been
completed
by
Dominion
and
Pepco,
and
the
Washington
Gas
relocations
have
been
completed
in
preparation
for
general
construction,
so
once
again,
Fort
Myer
intersection.
C
You
can
see
the
dotted
line
where
the
old
curb
lines
were,
and
you
can
see
how
much
bigger
the
waiting
areas
are
in
the
crossing
areas.
This
is
the
quick
note
on
the
Marian
entrances.
Anyone
who's
written.
The
trail
knows
that
the
columns
that
hold
up
the
pedestrian
overpass
create
a
blind
spot
for
cars
that
are
trying
to
exit
the
Marriott
and
there's
a
lot
of
conflict
with
bikes
coming
fast
down
the
hill
and
this
because
of
the
wider
trail
and
moving
it
further
away,
will
address
that.
C
Well,
it
won't
make
it
perfect,
but
it'll
make
it
a
lot
better
than
this
now.
So
here
we
are
the
existing
Street.
Here
we
are
what's
happening.
It's
a
big
change,
we're
pleased
that
we
have
this
to
this.
Hopefully,
this
will
make
the
wait
it's
taking
a
long
time
to
get
this
project
here.
We
thought
we
were
going
to
do
it
locally,
administer
the
construction
locally
vdot
offered
to
do
that.
The
transition
over
to
them
and
the
modification
of
the
plan
did
go
into
their
automated
bidding
system.
C
Called
Falcon
was
much
more
complicated
than
we
thought,
but
in
the
end
I
think
we
have
a
better
product.
Six
bids
came
out
for
the
project
and
it
was
awarded,
and
this
is
the
schedule
going
forward,
so
March
25th,
the
contract
will
be
awarded
and
the
Notice
to
Proceed
work
is
April
4th.
Now
this
sounds
like
a
long
time
780
days,
but
what's
happened
with
VDOT's
involvement.
Is
we
redefined
a
lot
of
the
maintenance
of
traffic
and
phasing
of
the
project
in
order
to
address
the
congestion
issues
of
the
site
and
I?
C
A
B
D
C
Part
of
the
planning
studies
that
we
did
leading
into
briar
to
consider
the
design
phase,
the
you
know
civil
engineering
phase.
We
look
carefully
at
the
options
for
that
working
with
tool,
design
group
which
is
specializes
in
pedestrian
and
bike
elements,
and
it
came
to
the
conclusion
that
the
area
is
so
short
for
a
biker
is
I
mean
we're
really
talking
two
minutes
of
riding
time,
if
not
one
minute
that
it
just
didn't,
make
sense
to
change
people's
psyche
of
how
to
use
the
trail
for
such
a
short
distance.
That.
C
The
phasing
plot,
because
we're
one
we're
widening
the
trail
and
two
were
moving
the
trail
or
we're
moving
the
trail
closer
to
the
street.
We
have
more
room
to
work
in
instead
of
less
and
there
is
a
phasing
plan
for
how
this
will
be
done.
You
the
curb
the
street,
the
the
trail
will
be
open
throughout
the
whole
construction
phase.
C
D
E
So
I,
don't
think
you're
surprised
by
how
excited
we
all
are
about
this
starting
to
move
forward.
I
do
have
a
question.
The
fact
that
we
got
in
a
road
diet
on
Lee
Highway
is
absolutely
amazing,
so
been
any
thought
about
doing
that
in
Fort
Myer
as
well.
I
cross
there
at
least
once
a
week,
if
not
more
often,
and
seeing
the
speed
at
which
cars
still
go
through
that
yellow
light
is
scary.
E
C
You
know
and
put
the
bike
the
bike
trail
into
that
third
Lane
right
now
as
part
of
the
maintenance
of
bike
traffic,
while
they're
doing
construction
on
the
work,
that's
going
east
or
yes
west
of
there.
So
I
had
the
lanes
coming
out,
but
the
answer
is
I.
Don't
have
any
any
idea
that
that
could
happen.
G
C
A
B
Our
next
item
is
item
three.
This
is
recognizing
businesses
that
offer
transit
and
non-motorized
benefits.
Jim
Larson
is
here
this
evening.
Jim
is
the
relatively
new
bureau
chief
for
Arlington.
County
commuter
services
is
actually
his
he's
been
to
the
meetings
before,
but
his
first
time
giving
you
an
overview.
Thank.
H
You
I
wanted
to
spend
a
few
minutes
tonight
and
we're
going
to
be
periodically
throughout
the
year,
giving
you
updates
on
all
the
things
that
you've
done
so
well
in
Arlington.
That
makes
it
so
much
easier
for
us
to
do
our
job
at
commuter
services,
and
one
of
them
tonight
is
to
give
you
an
update
and
one
of
our
primary
programs.
H
Champions
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
you
have
heard
of
it,
but
some
of
you
may
have
it's
designed
to
motivate
businesses,
multi-family,
residential
communities,
commercial
properties,
hotels,
schools
to
recognize
the
impact
they
can
make
on
reducing
traffic
congestion
in
our
County.
They
accomplished
this
by
implementing
transportation
programs
such
as
a
transit
benefit
for
employees,
providing
loaded
smart
trip
cards
for
residents
and
offering
telework
options.
They
also
provide
amenity
options.
We
haven't.
H
Including
misters
I've
got
a
sorry
installing
showers
and
lockers
for
bikers
and
walkers,
providing
preferential,
carpool
and
vanpool
spots.
All
these
groups,
embracing
the
champions
program,
show
their
commitment
each
year
to
increasing
usage
of
sustainable
transportation
options.
Give
an
example
this
year
that
we
just
honored
in
February,
two
hundred
and
thirty-one
clients,
representing
all
categories
of
levels,
were
involved
in
nineteen,
our
top
platinum
level.
So
tonight,
I
want
to
share
with
you
a
short
video
about
six
minutes
which
shows
you
what's
happened
at
a
couple
of
these
companies
and
give
you
a
little
brief
overview.
I
I
K
M
K
Have
great
success
with
resident
retention
and
I'm
very
proud
to
say
that
I
have
residents,
that's
been
here
for
more
than
30
years
during
our
leasing
process.
We
give
away
our
brochure,
together
with
this
quick
glance
that
Arlington
transportation
partners
have
provided
us,
showing
the
public
transportation
options
in
Boston
I
used.
L
I
N
N
L
H
So
I
guess
it
was
our
names
up
there
to
make
us
look
famous,
and
it's
this
year
we
had
the
breakfast
award
ceremony
at
the
Westin
and
board
member
John.
Vice
Ted
came
and
greeted
the
attendees
and
most
important
and
gave
his
own
personal
endorsement
of
Metro
and
high
uses
it
every
day.
It
was
really
a
great
event,
so
I
thought
I'd
just
share
that
with
you
tonight.
Thank
you
for
any
questions.
I'll
answer
them
or
you
can
move
on
mister.
P
A
B
Q
Evening,
I'm
Richard,
Tucker
I'm,
with
C
PhD
planning,
Marco,
Rivero
and
I,
will
give
an
overview
of
both
the
area
plan
and
park.
Master
plan
processes
which
we
were
doing
under
the
heading
of
for
MRV,
will
give
our
overview
and
then
we'll
turn
the
discussion
over
or
the
presentation
over
to
the
cleanup
hitter
Richard
best
tonight.
Who
will
review
in
some
detail
the
transportation
related
matters
so
where
we
are
in
our
process,
we
publish
the
policy
framework
document
earlier
well,
this
is
March.
Q
Now
we
we
published
it
at
the
beginning
of
February
and
in
our
processes
here
recently
in
the
last
several
years.
What
we've
tried
to
do
is
capture
at
that
point
in
time,
the
concepts
that
are
being
reviewed
with
our
working
group
or
in
our
in
our
process
and
and
then
identify
the
policy
related
elements
that
the
board
should
consider
in
order
to
implement
those
concepts
and
and
ideas
and
so
forth
that
the
working
group
has
been
working
on.
Q
So
that
is
the
purpose
of
creating
a
policy
framework
and
what
it
does
is
bring
certain
issues
to
a
head.
It
sort
of
clears
the
slate
off
as
we
move
forward
into
the
next
phase,
which
is
the
development
of
an
area
plan
and
park
master
plan
for
adoption.
So
our
schedule
coming
up,
we
have
our
draft
out
for
review
and
we'll
certainly
entertain
your
your
comments
and
input
tonight.
Q
We
will
advertise
a
revised
version
in
April
and
have
the
board
adopted
in
May,
hopefully,
and
then
from
there
we'll
be
working
on
the
park
master
plan,
an
area
plan
for
adoption
in
in
the
fall
just
going
to
share
this
with
you
just
to
just
as
a
starting
point
and
and
by
the
way.
This
is
this
presentation,
we're
scheduled
to
we've
done
two
commissions
already
this
week.
We'll
do
another
another
three
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
as
well.
Q
So
this
this
is
a
starting
point
for
the
discussion.
In
terms
of
you
know
what
is
the
overall
vision
and
what
sort
of
common
themes
have
we
heard
throughout
the
process?
I
highlighted
a
few
which
are
of
interest
to
some
of
the
other
Commission's
one
of
the
things
that
people
have
said
to
us
or
over
and
over
is
they
want
to
keep
the
industrial
character
of
this
area
and
and
and
keep
the
low
scale
development
that
we
see
in
that
area.
Q
The
types
of
uses
that
are
in
the
area
plan
area
specifically
are
is
primarily
industrially.
Zoned
and
we've
got
industrial
and
light
and
service
commercial
uses,
and
they
want
to
keep
those
and
so
two
things,
keeping
an
industrial
character
and
also
sort
of
building
on
the
arts
focus
that
currently
exists
in
the
area.
Other
themes
include
better
connections
to
form
our
end
stream.
Q
This
is
one
of
the
key
issues
that
we've
heard
over
and
over,
especially
with
the
business
owners
that
there
is
a
stark
shortage
of
parking
in
the
area
and
that's
something
that
we've
concentrated
on
and
we
have
recommendations
for
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
keep
moving
I
will
review
the
the
area
plan,
area,
concepts
and
Marco
will
review
the
park
master
plan
concepts
before
we.
Let
Richard
best
tell
you
everything
you
want
to
know
about
transportation
stuff.
Q
So
in
our
process,
we
given
the
idea
that
there
would
be
little
change
in
this
area
that
primarily
people
want
to
keep
the
industrial
uses
in
this
area.
We
tested
a
few
ideas
with
them
and
we
had
these
two
concepts
on
the
table.
Just
to
orient
you
a
little
bit
our
study
area,
there's
actually
two
study
areas.
So
I'll
start
with
the
park
master
planning
area,
which
is
shaded
here
in
tan
colors
too,
in
sort
of
a
light
brown
color
that
includes
ginny
dean
park,
showing
two
dog
park
and
Shirlington
park.
Q
Q
That
area
is
envisioned
to
include
those
existing
uses,
but
also
incorporating
Arts
so
over
time,
as
businesses
come
and
go
as
they
concedes
arise.
Looking
for
opportunities
to
incorporate
arts
related
uses
in
that
area
in
sub
areas,
C,
which
includes
the
concrete
plant
and
where
the
county
currently
parks,
is
art,
bus
fleet
again
preserving
those
existing
industrial
and
public
uses
and
then,
where
a
lot
of
our
conversation
focus
was
on
sub
area
D,
which,
if
you
know
the
area,
includes
the
DC
rentals
parcel
the
the
post
office
and
the
two
hotels.
Q
So
the
question
really
was
what
level
of
development
or
in
what
way
could
we
incorporate
broader
uses
or
could
we
incorporate
broader
uses?
So
in
one
concept
we
looked
at
just
the
hotel
site
and
then
in
the
second
concept
we
looked
at
there's
this
larger
area
spanning
all
the
way
down
to
to
where
the
buses
and
county
buses
are,
that
access
road
there
and
within
that
one
of
the
goals
was
looking
at
creating
more
permeability
through
that
area.
So
these
dashed
lines
are
really
proposed
new
streets
that
could
occur
with
redevelopment.
Q
We
got
some
feedback
related
to
that.
A
lot
of
folks
in
the
neighborhood
were
concerned
about
the
potential
redevelopment
at
that
area.
If
we
had
broader
uses
in
addition
to
industrial
uses
in
this
marketplace,
if
you
allow
residential
development,
residential
development
with
predominate,
and
so
what
we
were
looking
at
was
maybe
reserving
the
ground
floor,
space
for
industrial
uses
and
allowing
residential,
above
with
some
creativity.
But
there
were
a
lot
of.
Q
There
was
a
lot
of
concern
about
losing
the
in
the
space
for
industrial
uses
and
foreclosing
on
the
opportunity
to
redevelop
or
have
new
tenants
come
into
those
spaces.
And
then
there
was
a
real
question
about
having
new
residents
in
the
area
and
the
impact
to
open
space
that
they
folks
in
the
area
feel
is
lacking
as
well.
We
looked
at
transfer,
we
did
some
transportation
analysis
to
determine
if,
if
that
area
were
to
build
out,
whether
that
was
would
be
could
be
accommodated
within
the
transit,
the
transportation
network,
and
there
was
a
question.
Q
As
you
know,
this
is
there's
limit,
limited
ins
and
outs
to
this
area.
You
got
Shillington
Road,
you've
got
four
mile
run
drive
you
got
Alling,
t'l
and
and
and
so
there's
a
there's,
a
future
choke
points
with
that.
Based
on
analysis,
we
realized
that
that
level
of
development
for
that
entire
sub
area
was
going
to
be
problematic.
Q
J
This
is
after
significance,
stakeholder
and
community
feedback.
Over
the
past
year
we
were
able
to
come
up
with
this
recommendation.
Staffs
recommendation
for
Jenny
Dean
Park.
As
you
can
see
here.
This
is
the
phase
one
development
for
construction
prominently
shown
here
within
this
plan.
Are
the
installation
of
two
diamond
fields
closest
to
south
Nelson
Street
within
the
within
that
a
field
area
you'll
also
notice
that
there
is
a
rectangular
field
overlay
as
part
of
phase
2.
J
Unequivocal
tur
and
restroom
facilities,
as
well
as
playground
facilities,
is
also
part
of
this
plan.
We
are
recommending
to
retain
an
existing
parking
lot,
which
is
just
west
of
Shirlington
Road.
It's
20
space
parking
lot
as
part
of
this
effort.
We
are
trying
to
concentrate
most
of
the
parking
within
the
park
to
be
part
of
street
parking
and
also,
as
part
of
this,
retaining
this
particular
parking
lot
for
Phase
two.
J
We
see
the
different
features
as
described
within
phase
one.
One
of
the
main
changes
is
the
rectangular
field
overlay.
After
studying
that
further
and
working
with
our
parks
and
operations
staff,
it
was
determined
that
that
would
be
a
better
location
within
the
outfield
of
the
diamond.
This
would
actually
improve
the
access
and
visibility
within
the
park
and
also
allow
us
to
provide
for
a
new
connecting
point
from
south
Nelson
Street
between
the
two
diamond
fields.
J
Within
this
new
activity
zone
area,
where
the
shicken,
where
the
shelter
and
the
playground
facilities
are
as
part
of
Phase
two,
we
would
also
install
the
new
tennis
courts
and
basketball
courts,
as
well
as
having
a
new
casual
use
open
space
area.
Just
next
to
that,
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
from
the
community
that
was
very
important
was
to
maintain
a
large
casual
use,
open
space
network,
and
we
tried
to
incorporate
that
within
this
plan.
J
As
part
of
this
plan,
we
also
looked
at
the
parking
requirements
for
the
park.
To
be
noted,
there
are
requirements
associated
with
the
installation
of
diamond
fields
as
well
as
tennis,
courts
and
basketball
courts.
For
this
plan
there
is
a
total
required
parking
number
of
67
parking
spaces.
47
of
those
spaces
are
attributed
to
the
diamond
fields,
6
to
the
tennis
courts
and
14
to
the
basketball
court
as
part
of
Jenny
Dean
Park.
J
This
slide
actually
shows
where
this
the
parking
would
be
allocated
on
the
site.
Again,
we
determining
that
there
would
be
approximately
20
or
so
parking
spaces,
a
parallel
parking
spaces
along
South
Nelson
Street
on
the
on
the
east
side
of
that
street,
just
south
of
Four
Mile,
Run,
Drive,
there's
anticipated
to
be
approximately
32
spaces
and,
of
course,
the
retention
of
the
parking
lot
just
west
or
just
west
of
Shirlington
Road
20
spaces,
which
would
actually
show
for
a
little
bit
more
than
what
it
would
be
required
about.
J
J
Some
of
the
feedback
that
we
received
from
the
community
refer
to
the
previous
option.
We
had
a
previous
option:
option
3
that
folks,
some
folks
within
the
community
preferred
for
the
following
reasons.
They
saw
that
this
particular
option
placed
the
fields
and
associated
lighting
further
south
of
the
Nok
neighborhood.
There
was
better
playground,
accessibility
under
this
option,
as
well
as
continuous
casual
use
space
immediately
along
South,
Four,
Mile,
Run
Drive
and
we'll
go
through
that
image
just
shortly.
J
So
this
is
the
previous
option:
3
phase
1,
which
shows
the
installation
of
a
small
diamond
field,
just
just
east
of
South
Nelson
Street,
as
well
as
the
installation
of
a
new
22
space
parking,
lot
playground
area
and
picnic,
shelter
and
restroom
facilities.
But
it
also
shows
a
contiguous
network
of
casual
used,
open
space
extending
from
South
Nelson
Street
almost
past
halfway
through
South
for
Mile
Run
Drive.
J
Within
this
option
again,
we
would
retain
the
parking
lot
and
there
would
also
be
within
an
indoor
interim
period,
the
retention
of
the
existing
court
facilities
and
large
diamond
field
phase.
Two
would
then
install
the
larger
diamond
field
with
lighting,
as
well
as
the
new
court
facilities,
and
would
also
expand
the
casual
use
open
space
network,
just
south
of
Four
Mile
Run
drive,
which
is
something
that
we
heard,
was
a
big
consideration
from
some
members
of
the
community.
J
J
This
slide
shows
the
actually
a
general
consensus
for
the
staff
recommended
option
for
Shirlington
Park.
This
option
shows
an
extensive
network
of
casual
use
recreation
throughout
the
park
facility.
We
would
also
be
striving
to
and
to
remove
invasive
plant
species,
improve
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety
within
this
park,
as
well
as
providing
for
better
placemaking
and
wayfinding
opportunities.
J
Providing
for
better
connections
to
nature
through
overlooks.
There
would
be
three
new
overlooks
installed
within
this
park
facility,
as
well
as
associated
riparian
pathways,
as
well
as
maintaining
existing
park
features
such
as
exercise
stations,
tree
canopy
and
the
trail
facility,
and
the
trail
that
runs
along
the
park
Shirlington
dog
park.
This
is
an
image
that
shows
the
dog
park
in
its
current
location,
just
north,
a
formal,
formal,
run
stream
as
part
of
a
this
process.
This
was
actually
a
major
topic
of
discussion
during
the
work
session
back
in
May
of
2017.
J
Accordingly,
there
was
a
working
group
that
was
formed
to
address
the
challenges
of
the
dog
park
being
located
close
to
the
stream,
so
the
parks
master
plan
will
actually
include
a
short
term
and
midterm
recommendations
moving
forward
for
the
dog
park,
which
would
include
stormwater
considerations,
removal
of
invasive
species,
as
well
as
improvements
to
water
quality.
However,
there
will
not
be
a
complete
redevelopment
concept
for
the
Shirlington
dog
park
and
that
would
be
consistent
with
guidance
that
we
received
from
the
board
last
year.
Q
I'm
going
to
jump
back
in
and
cover
a
few
other
ideas
that
are
part
of
our
process
and
some
some
other
feedback
that
we've
received
and
guidance
we
received
from
the
County
Board.
One
of
the
big
ideas
for
this
process
is,
as
I
mentioned,
before,
creating
more
access
to
the
stream
itself,
and
so
what
this
graphic
shows
is
there.
There
are
a
couple
of
existing
points
of
access,
one
within
Barcroft,
Park
and
one
near
the
Shellington
dog
park.
Q
Q
That
waterway
push
those
away
that
they
were
through
redevelopment,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
have
backed
away
from
that
more
ambitious
redevelopment
scheme,
and
so
there's
a
question
as
to
whether
there
would
be
an
opportunity
to
actually
create
access
to
that
to
that
to
that
waterway.
So
it's
something
that's
a
graphic
that
we'll
have
to
update,
which
we'll
get
into
detail
with
this
a
bit
more,
but
one
of
the
big
ideas
was
reconfiguring
for
modern
drive
to
increase
parking
and
create
sidewalk
space
for
people
to
access
the
businesses
and
and
activities
within
this
area.
I'll.
Q
Let
Richard
deal
with
this
in
some
detail.
This
is
a
graphic
that
shows
near
Geneva,
Jenny,
Dean
Park.
Looking
he's
found
what
we
might
conceive
of
in
in
the
near
future,
where
there
would
be
back
in
parking
on
the
south
south
side
of
the
road,
a
new
configuration
of
the
through
lanes,
one
through
lane
in
each
direction
and
a
center
turn
lane
and
parallel
parking
on
the
on
the
north
side.
Q
One
of
the
other
main
topics,
as
I
mentioned
before
is
the
incorporating
the
Arts.
There
was
an
Arts
subcommittee
of
the
working
group
which
had
a
full
range
of
recommendations,
including
designating
in
the
Arts
District
and
starting
in
501,
C
3
and
a
number
of
things.
This
whole
discussion
was
really
outside
our
scope.
So
what
we
suggested
is
is
that,
as
a
follow
on
that,
there
be
additional
work
to
be
done
to
identify
what
we
really
mean
about
in
creating
an
Arts
District,
one
of
the
tools
that
we
might
use
to
implement
them
and
what?
Q
What
kinds
of
things
that
we
want
to
in
court
encourage
in
this
area,
so
we're
recommending
that
there'd
be
a
follow-on
study
for
that.
We
recommend
that
the
arts
be
encouraged
in
this
area
shown
here
in
purple,
which
is
between
Walter
Eve
Drive
and
Nelson
Street,
so
everything
west
of
gin,
Eden
Park
till
you
get
to
Walter,
Reed
Drive
and
the
specifics
of
what
would
go
there
and
how
we
would
achieve
all
the
arts
uses
that
we
might
want
to
achieve
it's
something
that
we
could
talk
about
in
a
in
the
proper
setting.
Q
As
a
follow-on
study,
there
are
three
parcels
that
the
county
owns
within
that
two
block
area
west
of
Nelson
Street,
and
our
recommendations
in
the
policy
framework
were
that
two
of
those
parcels,
the
whole
signature
theater
and
the
warehouse
sites
that
l-shaped
piece.
There
is
actually
two
parcels
that
they
could
become
future
open
space.
They
were
acquired
for
that
purpose,
and
so
that's
our
recommendation
and
then
at
the
3700
building,
which
is
currently
houses.
Arts
uses
that
we
look
to
create
a
new
facility
and
possibly
incorporate
that
word
Park
and
Rec
uses
as
well.
Q
We
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
that
I'm
going
to
skip
through
this
again.
We
wanted
to
be
consistent
with
our
planning
processes
in
the
past
and
concentrate
the
county's
resources
in
one
location
and
really
look
at
those
new
open
spaces
as
connectors
and
possibilities
for
public
art.
There
was
a
lot
of
different
opinions
about
what
we
had
recommended
won't
get
into
the
details
there.
You
have
that
on
your
on
your
dance
in
front
of
you,
but
the
board
reacting
to
some
of
the
private
business
owners
who
were
in
that
Park
planning
area
area.
Q
In
a
two-block
area,
reacted
and
and
directed
staff
to
take
those
two
blocks
out
of
the
park
planning
area
and
make
it
part
of
the
area
plan.
So
our
recommendations
about
encouraging
arts
and
keeping
the
the
businesses
that
are
there,
there
will
go
forward.
The
board
wanted
more
flexibility
and
how
we're
gonna
plan
the
the
three
parcels
that
we
own,
that
the
county
owns
and
so
we'll
make
that
so
and
then
they
asked
us
to
continue
to
think
about
open
space
and
other
locations.
Q
B
You
Richard
as
far
as
transportation,
we
had
two
major
goals
going
into
this
effort.
The
first
one
was
to
increase
the
parking
supply
and
we
would
do
this
really
with
maximizing
the
on
street
resources.
The
second
one
was
to
improve
the
pedestrian
connectivity
and
provide
space
for
sidewalks.
The
transportation
recommendations
are
really
broken
down
into
three
parts.
The
first
part
is
short
term.
Second
part
is
mid
term.
B
This
would
be
items
we
could
implement
in
two
or
three
years
and
the
third
part
is
the
long
term,
and
this
is
items
that
would
be
implemented
within
five
or
five
plus
years.
The
first
item
is
a
proactive,
curb
space
management,
and
this
would
be
done
in
the
first
year
and
it's
really
is
to
complete
the
parking
analysis
of
the
area
in
and
around
Jenny
Dean
Park.
Secondly,
we
want
to
take
these
parking
recommendations.
We
want
to
simplify
this.
B
We
want
to
promote
turnover,
and
with
this
we
don't
want
to
provide
vehicle
storage
where
people
you
know,
store
vehicles
for
days
and
weeks
on
time.
We
want
to
promote
really
vehicle
parking
and
turnover.
Today,
there
is
a
mix
of
regulations
depending
on
where
you
are
on
four
mile
run.
We
have
metered
parking,
we
have
commercial
parking,
we
have
blocked
by
block
different
regulations,
some
to
our
some
for
our.
So
we
have
all
this
mix
of
rather
complicated
regulations.
B
B
Second,
is
really
to
get
into
the
pavement
reconfiguration
and
where
we
would
implement
and
test
items.
We
would
look
at
installing
angled
parking
on
the
south
side.
Four
mile
run
drive.
This
is
directly
adjacent
to
Jenny
Dean
Park,
also
we'd,
be
looking
at
the
sidewalks
along
four
mile
run
on
the
south
side
from
Walter
Reed
all
the
way
to
Shirlington
Road,
so
these
would
be
implemented
and
tested
within
basically
to
us
years.
The
final
would
be
the
permanent
streetscape.
This
is
after
we
test
after
we
implement
on
a
temporary
basis.
We
look
at
long-term
construction.
B
B
The
north
side
is
currently
under
the
Northern
Virginia
Regional
Park
Authority,
and
this
is
an
idea
we've
had
for
the
last
20
years,
so
we'd
have
to
work
with
the
park
authority
to
implement
that
we
would
also
study
a
crossing
a
ped
bike
crossing
of
Shirlington
Road
and
also
Arlington
Mill
crossings,
and
here
we
have
the
plan
view
for
the
formula.
Four
mile
run
drive
concept.
You
see
the
angle
of
parking
adjacent
to
Jenny,
Dean
Park.
We
have
a
three
lane
configuration
today.
We
have
four
lanes.
B
This
would
be
one
lane
in
each
direction
with
the
center
turn.
There'd
also
be
sidewalks
on
both
sides.
The
south
side
would
have
a
buffer
strip
with
some
landscaping,
and
here
we
have
a
plan
view
of
wealth
west
of
Nelson
again
you're,
seeing
a
sidewalks
on
both
sides,
you're
seeing
maximizing
parking
in
this
area.
Also,
the
three
lane
configuration
along
with
some
trees.
B
We've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
in
the
last
18
months
from
the
working
group
and
from
the
community
with
that
they
have
asked
that
the
short-term
parking
improvements
be
evaluated
before
we
would
initiate
any
long-term
lane
reconfiguration
improvements
and
we've
agreed
to
that.
Secondly,
there
is
a
lot
of
support
from
the
community
for
structured
parking.
Looking
at
this,
that
you
know
are
one
of
our
goals
was
to
maximize
parking
on
street.
B
Third
there's
been
a
lot
of
detailed
design
items
that
have
come
up
and
because
this
is
a
planning
study,
certainly
we
would
look
at
the
impact
of
truck,
turns
and
also
parking
overflow
to
the
neighborhood.
But
that's
really
in
the
final
plan
and
engineering
view
the
County
Board
it
was
last
Tuesday
gave
us
some
guidance
and
the
County
Board
expressed
no
interest
in
building
structured
parking
to
support
public
and
private
uses.
B
We
have
a
number
of
trails
and
some
heavy
usage
on
these
trails.
We
also
have
three
parks.
We
have
a
lot
of
transit
service,
it's
really
adjacent
to
the
area
and
also
access
to
395.
As
far
as
the
challenges,
we
have
a
lot
of
narrow
sidewalks
and
we
have
a
lot
of
competition
for
the
the
parking
we
have
today.
We
have
residents
businesses
and
also
Park
users
that
are
really
competing
for
that
limited
parking.
B
Also,
the
other
challenge
we
are
even
close
to
395,
so
that's
both
a
challenge
and
an
asset
as
far
as
future
planned
projects.
The
first
one
is
the
Shirlington
Road
bridge.
This
is,
would
provide
an
additional
structure
west
of
the
current
bridge
for
pet
and
bike
access.
The
second
is
the
Walter
Reed
pet
and
bike
improvements
that
is
under
it's
actually
under
test
now
and
will
be
implemented
later
this
year
and
the
third
one
is
the
trail,
the
ATA
improvements
that
are
being
implemented
down.
B
Existing
conditions
as
far
as
pedestrian,
this
is
really
not
up
to
the
same
county
standards.
As
you
see
for
the
rest
of
the
county.
We
have
a
lot
of
disconnected
sidewalk
out
there,
there's
sidewalk
it's
various
standards,
there's
who
also
we
see
parking
vehicle
parking
on
sidewalks
and
a
whole
mix
of
things.
B
B
Some
traffic
takeaways,
a
road
capacity,
will
limit
the
scale
future
redevelopment.
Also,
a
strategy
for
mode
shift
and
trip
reduction
will
be
key
in
this
new
development
and
we
will
consider
land
uses
with
a
lower
trip
generation
during
peak
hours.
Also,
we
will
emphasize
TDM
with
the
development
there
as
we
do
throughout
the
county.
Lastly,
the
lane
configuration
on
south
formal
run
is
viable
for
further
evaluation.
This
is
where
we
go
to
the
existing
four-lane
to
a
three
lane
configuration
four
mile
run.
B
Today
we
have
four
travel
lanes:
parallel
parking,
no
sidewalk
on
the
north
side
and
minimal
sidewalk
on
the
south
side,
and
the
future
concept
with
that
is
a
three
lane
configuration
sidewalks,
angled
parking,
a
buffer
strip
on
the
south
side
with
landscaping.
One
of
the
reasons
for
this
is:
we
only
have
so
much
right-of-way.
The
right-of-way
is
constrained
on
the
north
side,
by
the
regional
park
authority
and
on
the
south
side
we
have
both
county
park
and
also
various
businesses
and
sort
of
the
right-of-way
is
really
not
going
to
change.
B
B
Additional
recommendations,
pedestrian
and
bike
safety
improvements.
This
is
where
we
would
study
paedon
by
crossings
of
Shirlington
road
and
also
some
additional
items
for
Arlington
mill
to
cross
ped
safely
from
Shirlington
to
the
Parkside
transit
related
improvements.
This
is
really
connecting
to
the
Shirlington
bus
station
to
Columbia,
Pike,
Boston
and
Crystal
City
parking
management.
This
is
one
Street
for
both
public
and
private
uses.
B
Possible
Arlington,
Mill
ped
invite
connections.
This
is
for
the
various
uncontrolled
intersections,
really
linking
the
village
of
Shirlington
to
the
three
basic
parks,
and
it's
really
two.
We
first
would
evaluate
this
and
then
we
would
implement,
and
this
would
fall
in
sort
of
the
five
plus
of
the
five
year
category
transit
improvements.
There
are
a
number
of
planned
transit
service
modifications
that
are
both
on
art
and
also
with
the
connection
of
the
proposed
West
End
transit
way
with
Alexandria's
service.
B
B
B
B
As
far
as
a
summary
of
recommendations
really
is
to
pursue
moderate
development
scenarios
to
minimize
parking
impacts,
prioritize
trip
reduction
strategies
with
development.
This
is
the
TDM
item.
Also,
the
lane
configuration
angled
parking
and
streetscape
improvements
for
formal
horn,
drive,
revise
the
parking
regulations.
1/4
mile
run,
drive,
consider
intersection
improvements
for
pedestrian
safety
and
transit
access
and
bus,
stop
improvements,
so
we're
ready
now
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
E
So
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
have
a
decent
number
of
questions
on
transportation
and
it's
really
unfortunate
that
Chris
isn't
here
cuz.
He
was
our
representative,
it
okay,
so
without
him
being
here
and
being
able
to
kind
of
explain
what
he
maybe
advocated
for
back
in
parking
is
a
surprising
recommendation
at
this
location.
To
me
it
tends
to
be
challenging
to
do
and
a
safety
issue
from
a
management
perspective,
maybe
slightly
easier
than
parallel
parking,
but
definitely
not
something
that
we
see
encouraged
in
the
county.
Very
often
so
I
have
a
question
about.
B
We
actually
have
a
couple
things
going
on
as
far
as
the
backend
angled
parking.
We
have
that
right
now
in
about
six
locations
and
obviously
the
first
time
when
you
back
into
an
angled
spot.
Let
me
just
say
this:
it
is
really
awkward,
however,
nationally
safety
statistics
have
really
told
us
that
this
is
far
safer.
You
back
in
on
the
angle,
parallel.
B
That's
actually
under
study,
in
sort
of
a
separate
item
that
we
have
going
on
now
and
will
be
implemented
within
the
next
year.
We
don't
think
it
will
be
completely
metered.
We
think
they'll
be
sort
of
depending
on
where
it
is,
it
could
be
metered
or
it
could
be
metered
overtime,
but
certainly
there
would
be
some
sort
of
restrictions
where
you
can't
have
vehicle
storage.
You
know
weeks
on
end,
obviously
for
our
parking.
You
could
probably
get
what
you
need
to
do
at
the
park
or
various
businesses
without
you
know,
commuter
parking
or
it.
E
Just
don't
think
we
manage
the
parking
we
currently
have
well
and
I
would
like
to
maybe
see
us
try
and
do
that
before
we
go
and
implement
something
that
is
going
to
create
angst
from
people
trying
to
park
and
I
know.
There
was
probably
extensive
amounts
of
dialogue
on
this
ethic
at
the
working
groups,
their.
B
E
B
B
Right
now
adjacent
to
the
park,
we
have
about
25
spaces
and
for
the
first
really
within
three
years,
when
the
phase
one
of
the
park
is
implemented,
we
would
have
the
angled
parking
on
the
south
side
and
that
would
create
roughly
32
or
33
spaces.
So
it
would
add
seven
or
eight
additional,
so
we
would
test
it.
The
first
thing
you
know
we're
gonna
do
is
sort
of
maximize
the
one
street
parking.
E
B
E
That's
that's
good
to
know
just
because,
for
my
own
personal
experience,
cuz
I
go
to
the
furry.
That's
locally
close
by
to
this.
That
I've
never
had
a
problem
finding
parking
on
a
Saturday
afternoon
and
that's
peak
baseball
time
too,
so
just
making
sure
that
we're
not
jumping
you
know
headfirst
into
this
is
good
to
have
a
little
bit
of
reassurance,
because
this
is
well.
B
A
J
J
There
are
primary
pedestrian
circulation
points
which
would
be
about
eight
to
ten
feet
wide.
We
would
recommend
those
to
be
a
mixture
of
either
scored,
concrete
or
paving
stones
in
terms
of
this
riparian
soft
path,
we're
thinking
six
foot
wide,
you
know
stone
dust
or
maybe
some
other
permeable
surface.
Okay,.
E
I
worry
about
that.
I
know,
there's
reasons
why
people
like
the
soft
surface
trails,
but
in
this
area
I
think
they'd
be
getting
a
lot
of
traffic
and
I'd
worry
about
runoff
and
just
maintenance.
Stone
dust
trails
are
hard
to
maintain.
This
is
a
well-traveled
part
of
the
county
and
I
know
I,
don't
know
if
there's
a
lot
of
other
stone
dust
trails
in
that
area,
so
having
a
very
special
maintenance
use
in
that
location,
and
just
because
people
are
gonna
want
to
bike
on
it.
They're
gonna
walk
on
it.
E
They're
gonna
wanna
push
strollers
on
it.
Stone
dust
is
hard
to
maintain.
It
washes
away
quickly
and
then
I
have
one
other
question.
It
was
an
inference
made
about
the
traffic
capacity
of
the
network,
saying
it's
going
to
be
a
limiting
factor
on
the
potential
we
had
green
and
a
slight
bit
of
yellow
on
that
map.
So
I'm
concerned
about
us
saying
that
you
know,
traffic
and
roadway
capacity
is
an
issue
when
we're
showing
what
is
more
or
less
a
level
of
service
a
through
C
network.
So
just
maybe
changing
the
way.
E
B
One
of
those
items
is
that
number
one
we
don't
really
have
level
of
service
a.
We
have
some
level
of
service.
You
know
C
and
D,
which
is
perfectly
acceptable
now
in
the
county,
I
guess,
looking
at
in
one
of
the
hot
spots,
was
24th
in
glebe
and
making
a
left
turn
out
of
from
24th
one
to
left
yeah
make
that
left
is
tough
today.
You
know,
however,
in
the
future,
depending
on
on
the
developments,
we
didn't
want
to
impact
that
you
know
to
the
point
of
no
return.
Oh
and.
E
P
B
That's
actually
a
part
of
the
separate
initiative
by
des
transportation
and
that
actually
has
not
been
completely.
You
know,
finalized.
Yet
I
know
there
is
some
meters
on
Nelson
one,
the
east
side
of
the
street,
so
that's
sort
of
a
whole
mix
of
things,
and
that's
really
one
of
the
issues
out
there
that
block
by
block,
depending
on
what
side
of
the
street
there
is
certain
places.
We
have
meters
certain
places.
B
P
B
You
for
the
past
20
years,
the
area
has
had
both
parking
problems
and
perceived
parking
problems.
So
we've
made
a
series
of
adjustments
that
started
in
the
sort
of
the
late
90s
and
it
was
always
you
know,
sort
of
the
chase,
the
problem,
and
now
we
have
a
whole
mix
of
of
things,
and
it's
it's
not
really.
You
know
completely
working
all
the
time.
Thank.
R
Would
like
the
county
to
be
sensitive?
If
you
look
at
the
parking,
if
you
look
at
the
cars
that
are
parked
there,
they're,
not
only
cars,
they're,
commercial
trucks,
I
think,
there's
a
hot
dog
and
a
couple
of
food
trucks.
You
know
it's
real
real
people
live
around
that
area
and
I.
Just
think
we
need
to
be
sensitive
to
that
because
that's
probably
the
last
industrial
zoned
area
in
Arlington,
County
right
so
I
know
some
people
park
there.
R
R
B
R
R
R
Okay,
so
if
you
go
there,
is
it
nine
o'clock
I
think
it's
nine
o'clock,
they
start
parking
I
mean
it's
just
really
remarkable
how
all
beside
these
trucks
pickup
trucks
they
all
come
in
and
they're
parking
and
then
in
the
morning,
if
you're
there
at
5:30
they're,
all
you
know
pulling
out
so
I
just
want
to
be
sensitive
that
you
know
again.
Those
are
real
people
who
you
know,
work
in
our
county
or
work
elsewhere,
but
they
live.
R
B
And
that
really
was
done
to
accommodate
basically
people,
you
know
who
live
in
the
neighborhood,
so
they
could
still
live
there
and
have
a
commercial
vehicle
with
it.
Probably
they
can't
park
one
there
a
lot,
but
they
could
park
it
one
street
and
then
early
in
the
morning
they
would
move
it
and
some
of
the
ideas
that
we
have
really
is
to
kind
of
remove
it
from
well
relate
the
park
side,
the
Jenny
Dean
Park
side
and
have
it
on
the
north
side
a
little
further
west
or
west
of
Nelson.
B
G
Hey
one
question
so
I
know
we're
talking
a
lot
about
making
Four
Mile
Run
Drive
into
a
more
walkable
place,
especially
on
the
south
side.
What
kind
of
conversations
has
the
working
group
had
about
kind
of
balancing
the
fact
that
that
it
is
an
existing
light
industrial
area
and
then
it's
going
to
remain
a
light?
Industrial
area
versus
kind
of
keeping
pedestrians
safe
and
maintaining
like
a
certain
level
of
pedestrian,
activate
engagement
when
we're
building
wider
and
safer
sidewalks
and
kind
of
encouraging
people
to
treat
for
motor
and
drive
as
a
more
walkable
place?
B
With
staff
but
believes
we
can
accommodate
both
right
now,
we
have
a
whole
mix
of
things
with
the
the
sidewalk
anywhere
from
non-existent
to
roughly
six
feet,
but
you
know
we
also
have
people
who
park
on
the
existing
sidewalk,
so
we
really
think
we
can
accommodate
a
reasonable
sidewalk
of
at
least
six
feet.
You
know
throughout
the
area
with
these
in
light
industrial.
B
As
far
as
light
industrial,
it
is
zoned
that,
however,
there's
a
lot
of
sort
of
service,
commercial
and
the
area
has
you
know
some
of
the
traditional
you
know,
industrial
industrial
uses
have
gone
away
and
we're
seeing
actually
more
dog
related
items.
You
know
with
that.
There's
quite
a
few
places
that
offer
I
guess:
dog
services
and
daycare
and
grooming
there's
a
brewery
there
now
and
so
we're
getting
away
for
some
of
the
traditional
items
and
also
a
lot
of
vehicle
repair.
Yeah.
B
Well,
they're
inside
the
scope,
realizing
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
a
framework,
it's
sort
of
an
overview,
and
with
that
we
will
have
an
actual
detailed
plan,
hopefully
later
this
year,
by
fall.
So
we
first
when
we
do
these
initiatives,
we
do
a
framework
first,
that
captures
a
lot
of
you
know,
vision,
a
lot
of
ideas
and
the
real
detail
comes
later
in
the
plan
and.
G
I,
thank
you
for
hearing
that,
because
I
think
some
of
the
concern
that
I
heard
about
the
framework
as
I
came
out
was
that
it
was
very
light
on
details
regarding
actual
improvements
of
Shirlington
Road
bridge,
because
it
is
an
incredibly
unsafe
area
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists
and
basically
everybody
who's,
not
in
cotton
scons.
Then
you
know
a
couple
of
times
of
steel.
Well,.
B
B
We
have
just
started
scoping
this
in
the
last
couple
of
weeks,
so
we're
going
to
be
in
a
scoping
and
planning
exercise
over
the
next
18
months,
then
we're
gonna
go
to
engineering
which
is
going
to
take
about
12
to
18
months,
so
bridge
projects
have
kind
of
a
life
of
their
own
and
it's
a
really
long
one
before
they
actually
get
implemented.
So
this
framework
here
really,
you
know,
noted
that
project
and
the
value
of
that
but
didn't
get
into
the
details
because,
frankly,
you
know
we
don't
have
them
right
today,
no.
G
That's
thank
you
for
that
and
I'm
sorry.
I
lied.
I
have
one
more
question
I'll
hand.
The
microphone
back
over.
You
talked
about
the
potential
of
building
a
sidewalk
along
the
north
side
of
four
mile
run
drive
if
that
sidewalk
were
to
be
built,
who
would
be
responsible
for
building
like
through
pedestrian
and
bike
connections,
from
some
of
the
residential
neighborhoods
onto
that
sidewalk,
because,
right
now,
if
you
look
at
the
way
the
street
grid
yeah,
the
great
is
really
rough,
but
I
mean.
G
B
The
county
would
ultimately
be
responsible
for
building
it.
However,
it
it's
on
the
Northern
Virginia
Regional,
Park
property,
so
the
county
would
have
to
enter
into
a
maintenance
agreement
where
we
would
build
and
maintain
and,
of
course,
pay
for.
Certainly
in
years
past,
the
regional
park
authority
did
not
want
a
lot
of
connections
between
sidewalks
and
the
the
trail
thinking
that
they
didn't
want
unnecessary
things
really
to
slow
down
more
regional
uses
there.
B
A
I'd
like
to
speak
a
little
bit
about
the
parking
requirements
for
their
Jenny
Dean
Park
from
slide
12.
The
two
diamond
fields
are
being
accommodated
at
approximately
12
parking
spaces
per
team
for
the
two
baseball
fields
simultaneously,
so
that
is
I
assume
12
little
leaguers
that
are
all
bringing
their
own
parents.
Cars
and
both
teams
are
at
maximum
capacity
happening
at
exactly
the
same
time.
At
the
same
time
that
both
tennis
courts
have
two
doubles
games
going
on,
in
which
each
person
coming
to
the
doubles
game
brought
their
own
car.
A
I
think
that
there
is
a
large
parking
garage
structure
just
across
the
way
at
Shirlington
that
we
could
possibly
ask
people
if
there
is
overflow
to
park
at
and
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that's
driving
the
need
for
this
back
in
diagonal
parking
at
the
park
is
our
excessive
arlington
county
zoning
ordinance
requirements
for
parking
for
different
fields
that
seem
to
defy
common
sense
in
terms
of
how
much
parking
people
actually
need.
That's
my
comment
on
the
parking
as
a
baseball
coach
I
would
like
to
comment
at
the
phase
three
or
the
option.
A
Three
baseball
field
has
the
smaller
baseball
field
facing
Southwest,
which,
as
a
batter,
really
sucks
to
look
into
the
into
the
afternoon
Sun
with
a
pitch
coming
at
you
at
forty
to
fifty
miles
per
hour,
so
I
would
oppose
putting
a
baseball
field
pointing
in
that
direction.
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
Commissioner
Calkins.
So.
E
I
would
echo
the
no
field
direction
played
softball
in
a
while,
but
the
synergies
of
using
the
Shirlington
parking
garages.
Yes,
they
are
hard
to
find
parking
in
during
the
work
day,
but
after
the
way
I
worked
in
charlington
for
three
years.
There
are
so
many
parking
garages,
and
that
is
such
a
short
walk.
If
you're
playing,
softball
or
baseball,
you
can
walk.
That's
that's
not
something.
That's
an
excessive
distance
to
encourage
synergy
parking
uses,
which
is
something
that
we
encourage
in
Arlington
County.
E
B
B
E
The
twiddle
or
to
a
left
turn
lane
is
a
lot
safer
than
a
four
lane
undivided.
So
if
we
can
get
that
implemented,
I,
don't
think
there's
going
to
be
a
changing
capacity
on
that
section,
because
we'll
get
all
of
our
left
Turner's
out
of
the
way,
I
was
just
curious
how
that
transition
was
going
to
be
happening
because
Walter
Reed
is
the
kind
of
obvious
spot,
but
also
a
very
busy
intersection.
Q
Commissioner
Perkins
gonna
jump
in
on
the
last
comments.
You
may
just
want
to
point
out
on
page
47
I,
believe
one
of
the
recommendations
is
a
graphic
that
shows
the
parking
garages
that
are
in
the
vicinity,
and
one
of
the
ideas
that
we've
sort
of
catalogued
in
the
policy
framework
is
that
we
should,
over
time,
be
working
with
those
marking
facilities
to
to
accommodate
overflow
traffic.
Overflow
parking
related
to
the
park
uses
did
I.
Give
you
the
wrong
page.
You.
Q
But
then,
going
back
to
your
point,
commissioner:
Perkins
about
the
amount
of
parking
required
in
the
zoning
ordinance,
those
those
those
standards
are
have
been
in
place
for
a
long
long
time,
and
certainly
we
could
look
at
those,
but
I
want
to
remind
the
Commission
that
these
are
the
requirements
for
the
specific
uses
within
the
park.
So
when
you
have
bleachers
there's
a
parking
requirement
when
it's
a
basketball
court
or
a
tennis
court,
there's
a
parking
requirement,
there's
no
parking
requirement
for
any
of
the
casual
use
space.
Q
There's
no
parking
requirement
for
the
dog
park,
which
is
the
major
draw.
You
know
that
being
a
more
of
a
regional
draw
more
so
than
than
than
any
other
facility.
So
yes,
the
teams
that
come
will
most
likely
be
Arlington
folks
or
the
basketball
players.
Or
what
have
you
and
many
of
them
could
take
the
bus
and
many
of
them
could
you
know?
But
when
you
talk
about
a
regional
amenity
and
when
we
were
considering
changes
to
the
dog
park,
we
got.
We
got
email
and
communications
from
people
in
Europe.
A
Q
A
Don't
have
the
space
in
the
county
to
provide
ample
free
parking
for
every
person
that
could
possibly
want
it.
So
I'm
just
saying
that
code
can
be
changed
or
you
can
have
a
use
permit
or
something
like
that
for
us
to
deviate
from
code.
If
we
find
that
that's
in
the
interest
of
the
county
residents
and
the
users
of
the
park
right.
Q
I
think
our
goal,
especially
with
the
on
street
spaces,
is
to
you
know,
maximize
turnover,
realizing
that
some
of
the
visitors
area
are
going
to
be
going
to
the
park
and
some
of
the
visitors
are
going
to
the
businesses.
We
have
a
FAQ
in
the
area,
so
we
have
a
clientele
for
them.
So
there's
a
great
competition
for
parking
spaces
and
I.
Don't
know
that
we
mentioned
this
specifically
that
a
lot
of
those
auto
related
businesses
all
of
auto
repair
places.
They
don't
have
enough
on-site
parking
for
the
things
that
they
do.
Q
E
So
I
would
strongly
encourage
that
there
be
signage
about
parking
in
the
Shirlington
parking
garages
and
outreach
to
those
Shirlington
parking
garages,
because
it's
something
that
we
as
Arlington
County,
have
a
strong
policy
about
doing
synergy
parking
uses
and
that,
if
we're
going
to
be
creating
this
mid-level
attraction
with
the
increased
park,
we
should
really
be
trying
to
use
the
spaces.
We
have
and
there's
a
glut
of
them
in
Charlatans.
A
B
B
B
M
E
G
At
its
last
meeting,
the
pack
invited
finola,
Quinn
and
Rick
Holt
to
come
and
talk
to
us
about
vision,
zero
they
gave
they
gave
us
a
fantastic
little
presentation
about
just
the
basics
of
business
vision,
zero,
how
DC
and
other
community
communities
went
about
implementing
it
and
as
part
of
that,
because
a
big
part
vision,
zero
is
talking
about
or
actually
implementing,
kind
of,
protecting
more
protecting
groups
like
elderly
folks,
like
protecting
children.
One
of
the
big
things
that
DC
has
been
doing
is
actually
building
traffic
gardens
to
teach
elementary
school-aged
kids.
G
How
do
I
kind
of
interact
with
and
operate
in
kind
of,
like
a
city
or
street
based
environment,
so
taking
the
mulch,
a
small
scale,
traffic
gardens
teaching
house
safely
across
the
street
I'm,
actually
even
putting
them
on
bicycles,
teaching
em
how
to
safely
ride
bikes
and
more
urban
settings.
So
that
was
really
interesting
and
awesome
thing
I'm,
specifically
with
regards
to
like
kind
of
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
with
DCPS,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
in
there
that
Arlington
could,
in
the
future,
look
at
doing
an
ApS.
So.
