So
good
evening,
monday
evening,
I
came
here
to
attend
the
bicycle
advisory
committee
meeting,
but
there
was
no
bicycle
advisory
committee
meeting.
What
there
was
was
a
meeting
of
commissioned
chairs
with
the
planning
and
engagement
session
with
the
county
board.
Mr
slatt,
as
you
know,
and
so
the
county
board
and
the
commission
chairs
went
over
the
six-step
public
engagement
guide,
and
one
thing
important
that
came
out
of
the
meeting
was
that
county
board
member
vice
stat
informed
the
commission
chairs
that
they're
not
here
to
to
rubber
stamp
anything
and
all
ideas
are
welcome.
C
C
Our
county
government
anticipates
an
increase
in
resident
population
of
at
least
60
000
by
2040,
yet
has
not
been
begun.
Comprehensive
planning
for
that
population
growth,
the
so-called
car-free
diet,
which
is
heavily
promoted
by
county
government,
is
another
oxymoron
like
affordable
housing
and
smart
growth.
In
fact,
county
government
has
been
on
a
more
car
diet
for
decades.
C
C
Only
around
the
sites
of
new
construction
county
government
increasingly
approves
upscaling
and
regionalizing
everything
from
neighborhood
parks
on
arlington's
borders
to
virginia
hospital
center
that
generates
increased
parking
needs
and
vehicle
trips
that
neighborhood
streets
were
never
designed
to
accommodate
parents,
demand
new
and
renovated
and
expanded
de
facto
country
day,
schools
with
increased
on-campus
parking
and
large
pickup
and
drop-off
areas
county
government's
primary
alternative
transportation
mode.
Besides,
metro
and
metrobus
is
bicycle
transportation.
D
All
right,
hi,
my
name,
is
joshua
handler.
I
live
in
boulevard,
manor
next
to
upton
hill
park,
and
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
group
friends
of
upton
hill
and
I'm
here
tonight
to
speak
about
our
concerns
about
nova
parks
plans
for
doing
renovations
to
upton
hill.
They
have
a
three
million
dollar
plan
that
will
add
some
33
000
square
feet
of
new
impervious
surface
for
over
100
parking
spaces
and
a
new
roadway.
D
D
We're
quite
concerned
this
new
roadway.
Aside
from
what
I
mentioned,
the
loss
of
green
space
and
canadian
mature
trees
will
have
a
safety
problem
in
wilson,
so
I
live
in
this
area.
I
know
we
already
have
a
pedestrian
safety
problem
crossing
right
here
at
livingston
in
wilson.
Adding
a
new
four-way
stop
between
these
two
will
just
complicate
the
traffic
patterns
in
the
area,
adding
to
safety
issues
in
terms
of
crossing
here.
D
Anybody
who
starts
across
here
and
there's
also
a
pathway
that
comes
this
way
so
it'll
create
safety
issues
for
pedestrians
and
biker
and
bike
riders
that
come
this
way
to
the
pathway
along
the
sidewalk.
We
feel
this
is
a
very
bad
idea,
adding
a
new
entrance
right
there.
So
I
hope
you
can
look
into
that
and
think
about
that.
Second,
in
terms
of
another
issue,
as
I
said,
they
plan
to
add
parking
spaces
here,
some
18.
there's
approximately
20
parking
spaces
here
on
street
that
are
available
to
the
whole
community.
They're
used
quite
extensively.
D
D
D
I'm
not
sure
the
transportation
committee
can
address
the
addition
of
the
parking
spots
up
here
at
the
upper
area.
But
again
this
is
the
area
that's
going
to
receive
91
new
parking
spaces,
a
great
expansion
over
what
exists
some
130
spaces
and
back
to
this
theme
of
county
policy,
trying
to
preserve
green
space,
promote
altered
modes
of
transportation.
We
feel
that
plan
goes
against
county
policy
as
well,
so
we'd
strongly
encourage
you
to
take
a
close
look
at
this
project.
D
If
you've
not
had
nova
parks
make
a
presentation,
I
think
I
sent
you
an
email
with
some
of
these
points
a
couple
weeks
ago.
We
can
send
you
additional
information,
but
from
our
perspective,
from
what
I
understand
with
the
transportation
committee
looks
at
these
are
bad
ideas.
If
you
will
deserve
close
scrutiny
and,
uh
ideally
from
our
perspective,
would
be
a
letter
to
the
board
saying
you
have
strong
concerns
or
actual
opposition
to
some
of
those
some
of
the
parts
of
this
plan.
So
that's
it
for
me.
Did
I
stand
under
my
five
minutes.
A
B
E
Good
evening,
everyone,
as
mr
best
already
said
we
are
here
to
give
you
an
update
on
where
we
are
with
the
implementation
of
the
two
car
share
programs.
Before
I
go
into
detail,
I
would
like
to
introduce
you
the
new
car
share
administrator
tamiko
toya,
going
forward.
She
will
be
analyzing
the
data
that
comes
in
from
the
contractors,
as
well
as
the
public
feedback
that
we
are
receiving.
E
Now
the
free
floating
program
will
provide
services
where
cars
are
being
picked
up
in
the
county
throughout
the
county
can
be
dropped
off
at
any
point,
the
reserve
space,
on
the
other
hand,
will
just
be
able
to
drop
off
and
pick
up
cars
in
the
city
in
the
same
location.
So
we
will
have
reserved
spaces
throughout
the
county,
where
members
can
pick
up
and
drop
off
in
the
same
location
throughout
2017.
E
In
the
end,
we
decided
to
go
with
an
itb
process,
which
then
was
advertised
in
february
of
this
year,
the
free-flowing
program
and
we
closed
the
advertisement
in
march.
We
have
awarded
two
contracts
and
um
in
april
on
second
april
2nd,
it
was
on
monday.
We
opened
the
advertisement
for
the
reserve
space
itb.
E
E
The
free
floating
car
share
program
allowed
up
to
a
maximum
of
three
contractors
in
the
county.
We
have
awarded
two
contracts.
One
goes
to
car2go,
which
is
the
company
that
has
already
been
providing
service
in
the
county
since
2015.,
the
other
one
has
been
provided
to
gig
car
share,
which
is
a
californian
company,
and
they
at
this
point
in
time
provide
service
only
in
berkeley
and
oakland,
but
they
reached
out
to
us
and
have
expressed
interest
and
have
we
have
awarded
them
a
contract.
E
E
We
are
looking
at
up
to
210
spaces
in
the
county.
At
this
point
in
time
we
have
60
just
in
very
close
proximity
to
metro.
Mostly,
we
have
um
decided
on
210
spaces
based
on
that,
we
want
to
improve
accessibility
throughout
the
county,
so
we
do
want
to
push
contractors
to
go
beyond
the
metro
corridor.
E
Now
we
for
that
purpose,
we
separated
the
different
sectors
in
first
in
prime
and
non-prime
areas.
Prime
areas
are
designed
or
labeled,
by
or
defined
by
the
distance
to
the
metro.
As
one
quarter
and
a
half
mile
to
metro
and
non-prime
areas
are
beyond
that,
then
also
within
these
different
areas,
we
included
sectors
limiting
the
different
amounts
of
spaces
per
sector,
as
well
as
the
availability
per
intersection.
E
So
we
would
not
run
the
likelihood
of
having
50
spaces
around
rosslyn
metro.
We
wanted
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
say
in
that
and
then,
in
addition
to
that,
as
soon
as
the
bids
come
in,
county
staff
will
go
out,
evaluate
each
intersection,
each
space
requested
and
look
at
the
suitability
of
the
individual
location.
E
Again
here
we
will
have
an
administrative
fee.
The
administrative
fee
is
set
for
the
whole
year
and
we
will
divide
it
by
all
contractors
of
all
programs,
because
it
doesn't
really
the
workload
doesn't
really
change
based
on
the
amount
of
contractors
in
this.
um
In
this
instance,
we
don't
have
a
parking
sticker,
we
will
have
a
space
fee
and
the
price
will
be
determined
on
the
area
where
they
want
a
space.
E
B
C
So
again,
referring
to
the
handout
county
government
routinely
approves
new
transit
and
transportation
modalities,
express
lanes
car
to
go
uber
lyft
that
generates
thousands
more
daily
vehicle
trips
and
directly
compete
with
metrorail
and
metrobus
for
transit
riders
transportation.
Alternatives
like
art,
bus
telecommuting
and
home
grocery
delivery
are
seldom
promoted
or
advertised.
C
C
These
car
sharing
plans
the
more
trips
the
more
the
owners
earn,
whether
it's
express
lanes,
whether
it's
uber,
whether
it's
lyft,
whether
it's
car
to
go.
How
many
vehicle
trips
is
this
going
to
take?
What
is
the
impact
on
neighborhoods
like
mine
in
fairlington,
where
we
have
lots
of
packages
delivered
by
delivery
vehicles?
C
C
C
C
F
I
have
some
concerns
about
launching
a
arlington,
specific
car
sharing
service
and
how
efficient
and
value-added
that's
going
to
be
in
a
system
where
you're
only
going
to
be
able
to
pick
it
up
and
drop
it
off
within
arlington,
and
whether
or
not
there's
any
coordination
happening
with
dc
and
alexandria
as
well
about
what
other,
basically
spot,
unassigned
spot
car
sharing
services
that
they're
looking
into.
In
addition
to
car2go.
E
So
cargo
will
continue
to
operate
between
these
two
jurisdictions.
We
do
know
that
gig
reached
out
to
dc
the
thing
at
the
moment
is
they're
a
little
bit
on
a
holding
pattern
because
they
are
changing
their
the
way
of
how
car
share
providers
are
able
to
come
into
the
dc
region
and
provide
the
service.
So
at
this
point
in
time,
since
gig
has
not
launched
yet
in
arlington,
and
they
also
need
a
little
bit
of
time
to
actually
fulfill
all
our
requirements,
they
need
to
provide
an
online
portal,
so
we
can
track
them
all.
E
E
E
Both
companies
have
reached
out
to
alexandria.
We
haven't
heard
anything
of
progress.
We
have
met
also
with
alexandria,
and
it
seemed
to
us
that
it's
a
little
bit
more
that
they're
on
the
lookout
for
what's
happening
in
general,
with
new
contractors
coming
into
the
region
and
then
how
it
plays
out
and
if
it's
beneficial
to
to
their
city.
G
I
have
a
question
about
the
allocation
of
cars.
You
said
that
there's
100
cars
allocated
to
car2go
and
then
it
can
be
increased
on
up
to
50
per
year.
How
does
that
work
with
the
dc
component?
Because
are
they
asking
for
more
in
dc
since
that's
being
shared,
the
fleets
are
shared.
That
is
correct.
How
do
we
allocate
the
share
right.
E
So
at
this
point
in
time
we
have
a
regional
fleet
which
is
at
this
point,
700
vehicles,
and
we
track
that
via
a
portal.
Now,
if
cardigo
decides
than
to
increase
the
overall
fleet
side
size,
they
would
have
to
discuss
that
with
dc
or
if
they
say,
okay,
more
cars
from
dc
are
allowed
to
go
into
arlington
county.
E
H
A
I
just
wanted
to
commend
staff
on
finally
making
car
sharing
in
arlington
a
robustly
structured
um
thing
I
feel
like
we
were
in
the
pilot
phase
for
a
very
long
time,
both
uh
fixed
and
floating,
so
it's
great
to
have
an
actual
framework
around
it
um
also.
I
know
the
commission
was
very
excited
about
the
possibility
of
having
some
um
competition
in
the
floating
realm.
A
So
I
commend
you
for
for
uh
awarding
to
two,
though
it
will
certainly
be
interesting
to
see
how
gigg
manages
to
uh
to
get
going,
um
and
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
in
general
the
commission
has
been
very
supportive
of
car
sharing
that
the
studies
show
car2go.
Each
cargo
vehicle
removes
about
10
or
11
private
vehicles
from
the
road
and
uh
zipcar
has
shown,
I
think,
slightly
lower,
but
still
you
know
more
than
more
than
one
uh
in
their
studies
as
well.
A
B
J
J
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
matthew
allman,
I'm
an
attorney
with
the
firm
of
walsh
calucci
representing
virginia
hospital
center
virginia
hospital
center
is
a
not-for-profit
hospital.
It's
been
serving
the
arlington
community
for
over
70
years
and
over
the
lifespan
of
the
hospital
the
population
of
arlington
county
has
grown
significantly
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
so
too
has
grown
the
need
for
medical
services.
J
We've
already
had
two
meetings
with
the
site
plan
review
committee
specifically
focused
on
transportation
and
parking,
and
between
the
two
meetings.
We
were
able
to
implement
some
changes
based
on
the
feedback
that
we
received
so
in
a
moment,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
transportation
consultant
and
you'll
be
able
to
see
where
we
started
versus
where
we
are
today.
J
So
we've
we've
been
hearing
the
feedback
from
the
community
from
county
staff.
We
continue
to
evaluate
those
comments
and
look
for
opportunities
to
refine
the
plan,
and
so
those
discussions
will
continue
based
on
your
feedback
tonight
and
continued
discussions
with
staff,
but
I'll
now
turn
it
over
to
wells
associates
to
walk
you
through
the
design.
Thank
you.
K
K
K
There's
multiple
site
access
points
today,
a
total
of
eight,
when
incorporated
in
the
edison
site,
the
edison
site,
the
arrows
in
green
represent
access
points
to
the
existing
edison
site.
There's
actually
also
a
curb
cut
right
at
the
intersection
19th
and
george
mason
that
serves
as
a
loading
for
the
family
services.
Building
on
that
corner,
most
of
the
the
site
the
edison
site
is
vacant.
K
The
one
next
to
the
garage
serves
access
to
oxygen
tanks
and
medical
waste.
That's
the
only
loading
that
occurs
along
edison
street
due
to
a
site
plan,
condition
back
in
2000,
where
all
access
for
loading
has
to
come
from.
George
mason
drive
that
access
point
also
serves
staff
and
physician
access
to
the
green
garage
going
south.
K
K
K
K
Most
of
the
days
the
garage
is
packed
at
capacity
are
slightly
over
capacity
through
valet
service
or
illegally
parked
cars
within
the
garage.
In
addition
to
these
on-site
spaces,
the
hospital
releases
550
off-site
spaces
and
accommodation
of
lots
in
ballston,
as
I
mentioned,
on
the
edison
site,
there's
a
carlin
spring
site
and
at
mount
olivet.
K
From
ridership
data,
what
we've
seen
is
that
the
shuttle
service
and
the
off-site
parking
is
underutilized
likely
due
to
the
additional
time
that
it
takes
employees
to
commute
to
and
from
the
office,
and
this
results
in
more
employees
parking
within
the
garages
paying
the
fee
or
parking
illegally.
If
you
will,
with
or
spilling
onto
the
neighborhood
streets,
um
there's
surrounding
the
blocks,
there's
approximately
125,
metered
or
unrestricted
unzoned
spaces
and
those
peak
at
about
93
occupancy
in
the
middle
of
the
day.
K
As
you
can
see,
the
existing
hospital
campus,
the
density
itself
stays
the
same,
but
we're
transitioning
approximately
120
000
square
feet
from
medical
office
to
hospital
uses
with
the
construction
of
the
new
outpatient
building.
It
will
allow
for
the
relocation
of
those
hundred
and
twenty
thousand
square
feet
of
outpatient
services
currently
in
the
main
hospital,
and
this
will
allow
for
the
hospital
to
add
approximately
100
beds,
as
well
as
expand
some
existing
services,
which
include
the
emergency
department
in
patient,
imaging
mental
health
services,
other
labs
and
other
support
services.
K
K
K
It
provides
access
to
a
speed
ramp,
that's
located
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
site,
which
goes
down
to
two
levels
and
up
to
levels
above
the
above
the
vis,
patient
and
visitor
parking
going
around
the
back.
There
was
a
closure
of
um
intersection
number
one
which
isn't
on
the
map
that
is
closer
to
19th
street.
That
was
an
existing
driveway.
That
was
closed,
uh
not.
K
K
Three
would
continue
to
serve
the
same
purposes
as
existing
as
well
as
four
no
changes
were
proposed
at
eight
as
well.
As
we
come
around
back
to
george
mason
at
intersection,
seven
staff
had
asked
us
to
look
at
consolidated
access
points
without
any
kind
of
modifications
to
the
george
mason
median
at
this
location.
We
would
have
three
full
movement
intersections,
so
our
initial
proposal
was
to
limit
this
movement
to
write
in
right
out
and
only
allow
southbound
left
in
traffic
for
loading
vehicles
and
emergency
vehicles.
K
So
that's
generally
what
was
shown
and
is
in
the
current
submission,
so
based
on
feedback
from
the
sprc
and
staff.
Through
our
ongoing
discussions,
we've
made
modifications
that
focused
on
consolidation
of
access
points,
safety
and
pedestrian
connectivity,
so
I
will
walk
around
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
with
each
of
these.
K
K
K
K
One
of
the
things
that
came
out
of
the
first
sprc
was
some
of
the
consolidation
and
access
points
and
the
concerns
that
access
to
the
17th
street
cul-de-sac
was
being
cut
off.
So
to
address
that,
we
proposed
now
to
close
that
access
point
that
currently
exists
to
the
hospital
and
all
access
to
the
northern
portion
of
the
existing
campus
and
the
outpatient
pavilion
would
enter
through
intersection,
six
and
then
traverse
to
the
green
garage
or
into
the
outpatient
garage.
K
You
can
see
the
hatched
area
just
internal
to
the
site
that
that
area
is
being
provided
so
that
large
tractor
trailers
can
traverse
the
site
and
get
into
the
into
the
loading
docks
which
we
have
on
a
on
a
slide
later
on
internal
to
the
site.
We
also
next
to
the
medical
office,
building
we're
proposing
a
new
three-way
stop,
which
will
allow
us
to
introduce
some
wave
finding
for
people
coming
out
of
the
green
garage
to
either
traverse
down
to
the
existing
signal
or
to
turn
right
to
the
new
signal.
K
Something
I
didn't
mention
on.
The
other
side
is
that
we've
widened
the
sidewalk
to
an
eight
foot,
shared
use
path
and
then,
on
this
slide
in
particular,
you
can
see
it
best
right
in
the
middle
kind
of
where
the
loop
is
on
the
right
side
of
the
plan.
You
really
start
to
get
to
the
pinch
point
of
the
existing
where
the
existing
drive
is
today.
K
K
Moving
on
to
19th
street,
there
were
some
comments
during
the
first
sprc
that
the
road
is
narrow
and
that
there's
existing
parking
on
both
sides
of
the
road.
It's
almost
it's
a
yield
street
effectively.
It's
a
30-foot
street
with
parking
on
both
sides,
so
east-west
traffic
would
have
to
yield
to
each
other
as
they
traverse
the
street.
K
Something
else
that
I
can
mention
on
this
slide
at
19th
and
george
mason
there's
been
some
concern.
Some
safety
concerns
from
pedestrian
concerns.
Today,
it's
a
unsignalized
pedestrian
crossing
at
the
beginning
of
the
process,
staff
asked
us
to
look
at
potentially
implementing
a
rapid,
flash
and
beacon
federal
highway
issued
a
letter
that
went
away
from
that.
So
we
were
looking
at
other
alternatives
and
recent
as
last
week,
they've
reissued
a
letter
where
they're
now
accepting
them
again
so
we're
you
know
it's
a
dynamic
situation.
We've
also
looked
at
full
signalization
at
that
intersection.
K
Staff
needs
supporting
documentation
of
that,
so
it
would
have
to
meet
the
mutcd
warrants
for
signalization
at
that
location.
So,
but
we
are
conscious
of
the
the
safety
concerns
there.
I
think
that
with
the
signal
at
the
main
hospital
entrance
and
providing
the
pedestrian
connectivity
as
well
as
a
potential
rapid,
flash
and
beacon,
or
some
other
kind
of
pedestrian
indicators
of
dislocation,
that
this
stretch
would
be
much
more
safe
in
the
future.
K
K
K
So
what
we've
shown
in
this
proposal
is
to
provide
a
six
foot
sidewalk
that
effectively
starts
at
the
back
of
the
existing
curb
today.
What
that
causes
is
what
we
would
do
is
we
would
remove
the
parking
on
the
edison,
the
west
side,
the
hospital
side
of
edison
street.
There
would
be
a
slight
transition
through
the
19th
street
intersection.
K
We
would
be
maintaining
the
zone
parking
on
the
east
side
of
the
road
and
the
travel
lanes
north
south.
We
thought
that
this
was
a
logical
place
to
stop
the
sidewalk,
because
it
provides
connection
to
17th
street.
You
can
see
we're
providing
proposing
new
crosswalks
there.
It
provides
the
east
east
west
connection
across
um
17th
street
into
the
neighborhood,
which
there's
set
their
sidewalks
on
the
north
side
of
17th
road.
There
was
discussions
during
the
most
recent
sprc
as
to
whether
or
not
additional
crosswalks
should
be
provided
mid-block.
K
K
The
majority
of
traffic
that
will
be
generated
by
this
would
be
the
direct
access
for
patients
and
visitors
into
the
proposed
garage
as
well
as
anybody
that
would
be
using
the
green
garage
I'm
coming
around
clockwise
to
19th
street,
again
full
movement.
This
is
employee
only
coming
around
to
the
back,
which
I
forgot
to
mention
on
the
last
slide.
We've
closed
intersection,
two
in
an
effort
to
consolidate
access
points.
K
So
what
that's
going
to
do?
Is
it's
going
to
push
the
employee
access
point
down
to
intersection
three,
and
this
would
be
an
employee
only
access,
as
well
as
services
for
the
oxygen
and
waste,
and
then
the
next
intersection
would
be
employee,
ambulance,
traffic,
full
movement,
and
then
we
come
back
around
to
the
main
hospital
access
point
at
george
mason.
K
The
tractor
trailers
would
access
the
site
from
the
new
proposed
driveway
and
circulate
make
the
right
and
circulate
back
to
the
loading
area,
box,
trucks
or
fedex
delivery,
guys
the
smaller
vehicles
could
turn
in
at
the
existing
driveway
and
circulate
back
a
tractor.
Trailer
cannot
a
tractor
trailer
coming.
Southbound
cannot
make
that
u-turn
movement
at
the
southern
driveway
and
circulate
back
through
the
site.
That's
why
it's
critical
to
have
access
to
either
the
new
entrance
or
at
17th
street,
as
previously
proposed
once
on
site.
K
K
K
This
slide
summarizes
the
existing
and
proposed
pedestrian
connections
through
the
site.
One
of
the
comments
that
came
out
of
the
first
sprc
was
that
there
was
no
north
south
pedestrian
connection
at
grade
um
without
the
without
the
the
new
um
connection
that
we're
showing
going
north
south
down
along
the
front
of
the
building.
K
um
So
yeah
we
have
north
south
pedestrian
connections.
Now
there
you
go
john
and
then
the
east-west
one,
underneath
the
uh
which
actually
goes
underneath
the
cantilevered
portion
of
the
garage
to
provide
the
east-west
pedestrian
connection
that
was
sought
by
the
citizens
and
then
in
blue.
Those
are
all
the
other
sidewalks
internal
to
the
site.
K
K
So
one
of
the
things
that
is
proposed
with
the
new
garage
is
a
pedestrian
walkway
that
will
connect
the
new
outpatient
building
to
the
existing
campus.
What
you
see
highlighted
in
yellow
are
the
the
public
circulation
routes
highlighted
in
red,
are
the
elevator
corridors
and
that
can
get
you
to
each
of
the
levels.
So
someone
on
the
southern
portion
at
the
emergency
room,
the
existing
emergency
room,
can
walk
all
the
way
enclosed
to
the
new
outpatient
pavilion.
K
So
we
performed
a
multimodal
tia
for
this.
uh
We
we
scoped
it
with
des
uh
probably
beginning
of
2017..
um
Our
first
submission
of
the
tia
was
made
in
june
of
2017
and
then
based
on
some
initial
comments.
We
revised
that
and
resubmitted.
In
early
december
of
2017.,
the
study
area
included
14
intersections,
including
five
signalized
intersections.
K
K
K
The
incremental
increase
in
delay
per
vehicle
at
each
of
those
signals
would
be
nine
seconds
or
less.
There
would
still
be
some
peak
hour
cueing
as
there
is
today.
Generally
speaking,
the
queues
would
clear
within
one
cycle
and
the
proposed
turn
lanes
along
george
mason
are
adequate
to
store
the
average
and
95th
percentile
cues
that
are
estimated.
K
So
this
light
in
blue
summarizes
the
existing
bicycle
storage
facilities
that
are
on
the
campus
today
and
then
in
red.
Are
the
proposed
bicycle
storage
facilities.
So
with
the
proposal
on
the
p1
level
of
the
garage,
we're
proposing,
uh
35
class,
1,
bicycle
spaces
and
then
they're
or
excuse
me,
I'm
sorry,
40
class,
1,
bicycle
spaces
and
then
in
the
plaza
area,
there'll
be
12..
K
K
K
But
you
can
also
see
that
there
are
a
couple
parallel
routes
to
george
mason
that
should
be
considered
for
potential
body
crowds
in
the
future
harrison
street
to
to
the
west
as
well
as
edison
street
to
the
east.
They
both
are
north
south
connecting
from
lee
highway
all
the
way
down
to
washington,
boulevard
and
south
of
there.
K
So
we
met
with
arlington
county
our
arlington
transportation,
partnership
and
des
staff
back
in
january
to
discuss
the
potential
tdm.
This
site
is
unique
in
in
arlington.
I
guess
from
a
use
perspective,
it's
not
your
typical
office
or
residential
building,
so
the
focus
of
the
tdm
program
for
this
site
would
be
mainly
focused
on
employees
and
staff
and
physicians
rather
than
the
patients.
K
There
are
some
elements
that
patients
could
use,
but
predominantly
speaking,
it
would
have
to
focus
on
the
employees.
So
some
of
the
highlights.
Obviously
we
have
some
physical
infrastructure
improvements
again,
we'll
be
working
with
staff
continually
to
identify
the
best
solution
for
the
george
mason
19th
street
intersection
we're
implementing
currently
some
carpool
and
vampoof
spaces.
L
L
L
The
project
involves
a
rezoning
of
what's
commonly
known
as
the
edison
site
from
s
3a,
which
is
special
district
2sd,
special
development,
district
hospital
and
the
construction
of
a
new
outpatient
building
and
parking
garage
on
that
site.
The
site
plan
process
began
in
december
2017
to
date,
there
have
been
four
site
plan
review
committee
meetings.
As
you
heard
from
the
applicant
two
of
those
have
dealt
with
transportation.
L
There
will
be
an
additional
at
least
an
additional
two
meetings
for
this
process,
and
the
transportation
commission
has
been
represented
by
commissioner
slatt
at
these
meetings
and
um
commissioner
len
tell
me
in
his
role
in
the
planning,
commission
has
also
been
attending
um
the
the
sprc
meetings.
So
this
is
a
well-informed
commission.
L
The
project
has
generated
an
exceptional
amount
of
community
interest
and,
as
a
result,
the
sprc
meetings
have
been
characterized
by
unusually
large
attendance
um
longer
meetings
than
normal
two
and
a
half
hours
is
typical
and
more
time
devoted
to
civic
or
to
citizen
comments
than
is
typical.
At
a
psych
plan
review
committee
meeting
des
staff
has
been
involved
in
the
site
plan
review
process
and
and
before
that
began.
L
Actually
we
have
been
working
with
the
applicant
and
their
consultants
to
discuss
and
hopefully
to
resolve
the
areas
of
concern
areas
in
which
we
have
been
working
with.
The
applicant
include
site
access,
vehicular
circulation,
traffic,
intersection
design,
traffic
signal
warrants
street
and
sidewalk
design,
pedestrian
circulation,
pedestrian
safety,
on-street
parking,
the
number
of
spaces
in
the
parking
garage,
bicycle
access,
bicycle
parking,
capital,
bike,
share,
station
location,
transportation,
demand
management,
transit
service
transit,
stops
serving
the
hospital
pedestrian
circulation
through
the
site
and
storm
water
management.
L
C
C
C
C
So
what's
going
on
is
this
is
going
to
be
a
regional
virginia
regional
hospital
center
and
maybe
wells
and
associates
will
go
around
as
they
usually
do
around
the
neighborhood
and
say
you
know:
what
are
the
traffic
impacts?
They
don't
go
around
the
sector,
they
don't
go
around
multiple
neighborhoods.
C
C
M
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Actually,
mr
hers
raises
an
interesting
point
about
the
size
of
the
parking
and
I
was
going
to
actually
ask
that
question.
Actually,
when
you're
looking
on
page
four,
that
shows
the
total
parking
spaces
of
2106
and
I
believe
the
gentleman
spokesman
I
didn't
get
your
name.
I'm
sorry
that
you
mentioned
there
was
a
shortage
of
240
parking
spaces,
246.,
okay,
246.
M
and
but
with
the
proposed
expansion
it
would
almost
double
that
to
41
4
119
spaces.
So
this
anticipates
a
large
expanse
expansion
in
activities
in
the
hospital.
So
I
assume
that
the
limiting
factor
now
is
limited
parking
spaces.
You
mentioned
246.,
so
why
are
there
so
many
additional
parking
spaces?
I'm
assuming
that
this
is
the
limiting
factor,
but
I
may
be
wrong
on
that.
K
K
M
So
if
you
were
taking
the
employee,
I
didn't
do
the
math
here,
but
if
you're
looking
at
the
shortage
of
246
and
then
the
500
and
some
that
you
mentioned
for
off-site
parking
for
employees,
that's
over
700
and
something
maybe
800..
So
we
still
have
about
1200
spaces
for
the
public.
Is
that
approximately
correct?
M
M
M
K
M
L
19,
that
shows
no
real
degradation
of
levels
of
service
and
only
slight
additions
to
the
queuing.
So
we
did
not
have
an
issue
with
the
overall
tia.
We
have
some
very
detailed
issues
about
traffic
signal
warrants,
circulation,
site
access,
etc.
The
tia
conclusions
themselves
in
terms
of
the
overall
impact
on
the
existing
street
network.
We
did
not
dispute.
L
N
N
O
N
O
O
N
O
N
N
And
uh
you
know
I
read
or
saw
in
the
presentation
that
there
was
uh
maybe
some
vanpools
spaces
set
aside,
maybe
some
flyers
about
where
the
metro
is
located.
I
think
everybody
knows
where
the
metro
is
located.
Is
there
any
consideration
of
providing
a
transit
option
for
the
employees
to
get
to
and
from
the
hospital.
O
N
O
They
ride
the
art
bus,
the
51-52
route
goes
to
the
51,
I
think,
goes
directly
to
the
ballston
metro
and
to
the
virginia
hospital
center.
So
we
subsidize
that
for
our
employees,
so
if
they
show
their
hospital
badge,
anybody
who
works
to
hospital
can
write
it
for
free.
Currently,
we
would
maintain
that
service
for
them.
N
P
uh
Well,
first,
I
want
to
compliment
you
on
the
plan.
It
looks
very
thorough
and
also
there
has
been
very
careful
analysis
of
traffic
circulation,
but
I'm
really
concerned
about
the
size
of
this
parking
garage.
If
you
look
at
it
on
the
site
plan,
it
actually
dorfs
the
new
outpatient
medical
facility,
which
should
in
fact
be
the
focus
of
the
attention
of
the
of
the
plan.
P
Also,
uh
you
indicate
that,
yes,
you
do
currently
have
uh
2
000
parking
spaces
on
site,
but
you
have
offset
off-site
spaces
that
you
want
to
relocate,
but
even
if
you
did
that
your
requirement,
your
current
requirement
would
be
no
more
than
2500
or
we'll
give
you
the
benefit
of
the
doubt
and
say:
20
2,
700
spaces
are
what
you
currently
need.
Now,
if
you
look
at
your
square
footage,
you're
going
to
increase
that
by
a
quarter.
P
I'm
looking
at
this
site
plan
and
I
can't
see
where
you
would
actually
need
more
than
a
thousand
spaces
or
yes,
more
than
a
thousand
additional
spaces.
Would
be
the
absolute
limit
also,
I
want
to
point
out
that
providing
a
facility
of
this
size
would
actually
discourage
your
tdm
plan.
In
other
words,
you
actually
have
two
completing
plans
here.
You've
got
one
for
more
additional
parking
and
you
have
another
another
plan
for
tdm
and
the
two
conflict,
and
I
guess
finally
I'd
want
to
say
that.
P
Aside
from
the
impacts
which
are
routinely
deprecated,
they
don't
exist
in
the
minds
of
most
transportation
analysts.
Aside
from
all
that,
it
seems
to
me
that
that
this
plan
actually
conflicts
with
the
county's
stated
policy.
Now
I
realize
that
the
architect
does
not
have
to
address
that
question.
Nor
does
the
hospital,
but
county
officials
have
to
look
at
these
plans
with
respect
to
their
own
policies.
Thank
you.
Q
uh
Yeah,
just
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
Like
everyone
else
said,
I
also
have
similar
concerns
about
the
amount
of
parking
here
just
tackle
the
idea
that
this
county
is
working
very
hard.
We're
asking
our
citizens
and
the
people
who
live
here
and
work
here
to
take
fewer
trips
by
car,
we're
looking
to
reduce
the
amount
of
emt
put
on
rows
every
year.
How
does
the
hospital
justify
keeping
that
policy
of
not
charging
for
parking
while
still
saying
that
they're
going
to
work
to
reduce
the
amount
of
vehicle
trips
taken
by
employees?
Q
I
mean
I've
never
worked
at
a
place
where
I
didn't
have
to
pay
for
parking.
I've
never
met
anybody
in
the
dc
area
who
just
have
to
pay
for
parking.
I
mean
so
I
just
like
to
ask
that
question
because
again
we
are
asking
everyone
in
this
county
to
make
that
sacrifice
and
to
take
fewer
trips
by
car,
and
I'm
not
sure
why
the
hospital
should
be
exempt
from
that.
R
um
My
name's
adrian
stan
I'm
one
of
the
vice
presidents
at
the
hospital.
um
The
issue
is
uh
pure
and
simple:
it's
a
retention
and
uh
recruitment
issue.
If
we
charged
our
employees
for
parking,
we
would
lose
staff.
The
other
hospitals
in
northern
virginia
do
not
charge
for
parking
for
their
staff.
They
do
most
of
the
hospitals
do
charge
parking
for
their
patients
and
visitors.
Q
So
our
hospital
employees
then
different
from,
I
guess
any
other
office
employees
who
work
in
the
area,
because
I
mean
other
offices
and
other
companies
do
have
ways
too
well.
Charging
for
parking
still
offering,
you
know,
say
pre-tax
benefits
to
pay
for
the
parking
benefit.
I
mean
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
here
like
there
are
other
places
that
still
charge
their
employees
to
park
and
those
employees
still
show
up
to
work
every
day.
R
Q
F
Thank
you
for
bearing
with
me
I'm
going
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions,
um
so
I
think
my
fellow
commissioners
have
already
driven
home
the
fact
that
we
think
this
is
an
excessively
sized
parking
garage.
um
I
have
some
questions
about
the
on-street
parking,
that's
being
lost,
because
I
think
it
was
under
highlighted
in
your
presentation,
because
that
parking
is
being
lost
to
the
residential
communities
that
surround
the
hospital
during
the
off-peak
hours
when
they
might
have
visitors.
F
O
I
don't
have
the
exact,
but
I
know
we
offer
pre-tax
for
um
for
metro
and
for
we
subsidize
the
art
bus.
I
know
we've
got
a
van
pool
and
carpool
program,
that's
up
and
coming
it
hasn't
started.
Yet
um
I
don't
remember
the
award
we
just
received
from
arlington
county
for
our
efforts
with
uh
tdm
um
and
also
we
recently
partnered.
I
think,
was
last
year
um
with
des
staff
to
do
a
survey
and
found
that
about
23
of
our
staff.
Take
a
multimodal
access
to
the
to
the
campus.
F
This
is
going
to
be
intrusive,
it's
going
to
be
big
and
if
we
can
think
about
how
we
might
reduce
those
number
of
spaces
possible
because
of
future
technologies
that
we
know
are
coming.
I
think
it's
very
important,
because
one
of
my
biggest
concerns
with
this
parking
garage
outside
the
number
of
spaces
it
is
is
how
close
and
how
tall
it
is
to
those
residential
units
across
the
street.
If
we
were
talking
about
any
sort
of
residential
development
anywhere
else,
we'd
be
asking
for
setbacks
and
significant
amount
of
buffering
to
the
residential
communities
around
them.
J
Yeah
very
quickly,
we
we
hear
that
comment
at
at
all
the
sprc
meetings
and
at
our
most
recent
discussion
we
did
present
an
alternative
to
start
addressing
the
sighting
and
bulk
of
the
garage.
So
I
know
that's,
maybe
has
one
foot
in
the
architectural
discussion
and
one
foot
in
the
parking
discussion,
but
it
is
something
that
we
continue
to
look
at
thanks.
G
L
G
L
G
G
The
topography
of
this
site
is
to
a
large
extent,
below
grade
already.
County
policy
is
to
encourage
undergra
parking
below
grade.
Yet
this
parking
garage
does
go
down
one
or
two
levels
you're
proposing
to
extend
that,
but
the
footprint
of
the
parking
garage
covers
a
third
of
the
site.
Maybe
why
isn't
there?
A
exploration
of
having
underground
parking
covering
you
know?
Edison
site
is
fairly
large,
building
a
platform
that
the
buildings
are
on
top
of
the
parking
and
the
parking
is
all
below
grade
that
could
accommodate.
H
I
just
first
want
to
also
echo
my
fellow
commissioners
to
the
applicant
about
my
concerns
on
the
size
of
the
parking
structure
proposed
question
to
staff.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
art,
bus
routes,
51
and
52.
Just
for
my
own
knowledge
are
these:
the
smaller
shuttles
are
these
the
full
size,
large
buses.
L
They
are
full
size
buses,
they
run
sort
of
in
tandem,
so
they
run
each
30-minute
headways.
um
They
do
not
run
during
the
late
night
periods,
so
we
cannot
cover
sort
of
all
the
shifts.
I
think
it
may
end
around
11
30
p.m,
so
they're
not
really
aligned
with
the
hospital
shifts,
so
they
run
in
30-minute
increments,
and
the
idea
is
that
there's
actually
a
15-minute
headway
between
them.
L
However,
the
one
thing
about
the
51
and
52
is
that
they
do
split
so
that
if
you're
going,
I
think
it's
southbound
on
george
mason,
that
you
need
to
be
sure
that
you're
at
this
at
the
shelter
that
will
that
has
both
buses
serving
it.
So
not
all
some
continue
straight
on
george
mason
and
some
turn
on
16th,
um
so
it
is
sort
of
minimal
urban
level
service
and
it
does
serve
the
boston
metro.
It
serv,
one
of
them
also
goes
to
east
falls
church.
M
My
previous
question
about
traffic,
increased
traffic
on
george
mason
drive
and
what
period
of
time
traffic
would
increase.
Now
you
mentioned
the
county
has
done
studies.
Would
you
elaborate
on
that
because
you
may
do
traffic
counts,
but
I
know
there
are
software
that
exists
nationally
by
caliper
corporation,
for
example,
I
think
it's
called
transmodeler,
which
is
a
computer-based
system
which
not
only
measures
increased
traffic
flow,
but
also
uh
turn-off
lanes
the
length
of
turn-off
lanes
that
are
needed
uh
to
accommodate
a
given
level
of
traffic
left,
turn
lanes
and
so
forth.
L
K
N
A
A
A
Just
as
a
point
of
comparison,
the
bolston
common
mall
parking
garage
has
2800
spaces.
The
entirety
of
the
pentagon,
which
I
will
also
point
out,
operates
24
hours
a
day.
Seven
days
a
week,
365
days
a
year,
uh
has
only
about
double
what
you're
talking
about
providing
on
this
site.
Eight
thousand
eight,
eight
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy
spaces,
and
I
believe
they
also
charge
their
employees
for
parking.
A
A
A
That
is
the
alternative
to
building
this
massive
parking
garage
in
a
residential
area
right
across
from
residential
homes
on
streets
that
were
not
designed
to
be
supporting
this
many
vehicle
trips.
I
would
also
add
that
very
little
seems
to
be
being
done
by
the
applicant
to
augment
the
transportation
system
around
the
hospital.
We
are
changing
19th
to
not
be
a
yield
street,
not
by
actually
widening
19th
street,
but
by
removing
the
residents
parking
on
19th
street.
A
We
seem
to
be
widening
the
sidewalk
to
create
some
sort
of
horribly
substandard
bicycle
facility
on
george
mason
drive,
not
by
actually,
you
know,
widening
george
mason
drive
but
by
uh
you
know,
narrowing
lanes
and
narrowing
medians
and
removing
parking
if
the
hospital
needs
to
expand,
which
I
totally
think
you
do.
I
support
you.
I
love
the
hospital
I
gave
my
wife
gave
birth
to
both
of
our
children
at
your
hospital.
It
was
a
great
experience,
but
when
uses
are
getting
concentrated
in
a
new
area,
the
transportation
network
needs
to
improve
to
support
those
things.
A
A
They
need
to
be
able
to
park
on
one
end
of
the
site
and
be
able
to
actually
walk
comfortably
to
the
other
end
of
the
site,
and
none
of
that
seems
to
be
coming
through
in
this
project
as
it
is
currently
envisioned,
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
if
it
comes
back
here
in
may
or
june
as
it
currently
stands,
I
do
not
see
myself
recommending
that
the
county
board
approve
it
in
its
current
iteration
commentary.
Gary.
I
I
also
feel
it
necessary
to
pile
on
here
yeah.
There's.
I've
worked
here
for
20
years.
In
this
area,
20
plus
years
everybody
pays
to
park.
No
one
gets
a
free
ride
at
their
office.
I
don't
know
what
notion
anybody
believes
that
you
go
to
work
and
I'm
just
gonna
show
up
not
pay
to
park.
You
pay
to
park,
and
I
agree
with
uh
commissioner
clement.
I
think
wonderfully
stated.
I
uh
Your
plans
are
working
against
each
other
um
free
parking,
but
yet
you
want
to
offer
a
tdm
package.
huh
What's
that
all
about
your
tdm
packages
is
completely
useless.
You
need
to
go
back
and
rethink
that
more
now
now
to
staff
we've
had
hearings
or
we've
had
meetings
here
about
tentative
plans
for
parking
uh
near
jenny.
I
I
B
S
T
S
S
B
U
Good
evening,
I'm
sarah
mariska
with
the
law
firm
walsh
kolucci
here
tonight
on
behalf
of
wesley
housing.
They
are
a
local
non-profit,
developer
active
in
the
arlington
area
and
they've
been
looking
at
the
site
for
a
very
long
time.
The
site
is
interesting.
It's
bordered
by
arlington
boulevard
in
the
south
thomas
street,
on
the
east
trenton
street,
on
the
west
and
arlington
oaks
on
the
north.
U
It's
comprised
of
a
couple
different
components
that
we're
working
to
assemble
into
cohesive
development.
The
red
cross
building
is
directly
on
arlington
boulevard.
It's
been
vacant
for
some
time
and
then
adjacent
to
that
are
two
single
family
homes
that
wesley
has
been
able
to
acquire
on
the
eastern
side
of
the
site.
There's
whitefield
commons,
it's
an
existing
garden
style
apartment,
complex
that
wesley's
operated
as
a
non-profit;
I'm
sorry
as
an
affordable
community
for
a
number
of
years.
U
U
That
would
be
where
the
arlington
red
cross
currently
resides
and
then
in
place
of
what
is
generally
the
two
single
family
homes.
We
are
proposing
19
market
rate
townhouses
um
with
that
we're
happy
to
launch
into
our
transportation
commission
presentation-
and
I
think,
you're
all
familiar
with
mr
pinkowski.
K
Again,
mike
pinkowski
with
wells
associates,
so
the
existing
site
is
located
on
the
north
side
of
arlington
boulevard.
As
sarah
mentioned,
it's
currently
developed
with
the
whitfield
commons
on
the
east
side
of
the
property,
the
existing
red
cross
building,
which
is
approximately
10
000
square
feet
and
two
single
family
homes.
K
Today,
the
only
connection
east
west
through
the
site
is
along
there's
a
parking
lot
along
the
northern
side
of
trenton
street
that
connects
to
an
existing
parking
lot
that
serves
the
the
multi-family
buildings
on
site.
The
the
red
cross
parking
lot
does
not
connect
east
west
or
north
south
to
any
other
portion
of
the
site
as
far
as
sidewalks
and
pedestrian
connectivity
around
the
site.
K
K
K
We're
proposing
some
service
drive
improvements
that
include
a
slight
narrowing
of
the
of
the
service
drive
to
increase
the
landscape
buffer
generally
east
of
the
multi-family
building
along
the
existing
tree
line
there,
as
well
as
a
re-striping
of
the
existing
service
drive.
Today,
the
service
drive
has
no
striping
on
it,
except
for
the
crosswalk
that
connects
to
the
tunnel
we're
proposing
to
stripe
it
with
two
travel
lanes
as
well
as
shareros
in
the
westbound
direction.
K
K
K
K
K
K
K
What
we
saw
from
our
traffic
study,
the
westbound
cubes
our
proposal
would
add
approximately
one
vehicle
to
that
queue
with
timing
adjustments
that
would
impact
the
eastbound
off
ramp,
as
well
as
mainline
george
mason.
If
more
time
was
given
to
that
approach,
we
could
reduce
the
queuing
by
approximately
two
vehicles
in
the
westbound
direction.
K
So
this
this
slide
summarizes
some
of
the
multimodal
facilities
in
the
area.
What
you
see
on
the
graphic
are
locations
of
bus
stops,
arlington
county's
preferred
bike
routes.
If
you
will,
as
well
as
the
existing
capital
bike
share
locations,
the
site
itself
is
about
a
one
mile,
walk
south
of
the
boston
metro.
K
There's
been
some
questions
about
the
model
service
in
the
area,
the
ramada
4a
line,
which
services
our
site
directly
right
on
top
of
our
site.
That
site
is
being
reduced
to
peak
hour
service
only
as
well
as
wamada's,
just
north
of
the
service
drive
on
the
east
side.
That's
that
site
right.
There
serves
the
ramada
22,
a
b
and
c
lines.
The
b
line
is
being
proposed
to
be
taken
out
of
service,
but
based
on
mamata's
website.
K
K
Excuse
me
again.
This
this
in
orange
are
preferred
or
suggested
bike
routes
in
green.
Are
the
existing
charity
used
past
a
list
that
exist
along
arlington
boulevard,
george
mason
itself,
south
of
arlington
boulevard
just
off
the
map
has
bike
lanes
in
the
northbound
direction
that
go
further,
that
extend
further
south
and
then
heading
southbound.
There's
sherrods
on
george
mason.
K
So
this
is
a
slide
that
summarizes
uh
existing
and
proposed
access
points,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
we're
reducing
the
number
of
curb
cuts
from
eight
to
three
we're
maintaining
both
of
the
existing
curb
cuts
on
north
thomas
street
and
then
in
green.
You
can
see
the
one
that's
proposed
along
trenton
and
the
closure
of
five
other
driveways
in
orange.
That's
the
that
highlights
the
loading
area,
the
two
squares
in
purple
just
to
just
next
to
the
orange
and
then
next
to
the
other
woodfield
commons.
K
K
K
So
this
was
a
slide
that
was
asked
that
we
provide
during
the
sprc
process.
What
this
slide
summarizes
is
all
the
ways
in
and
out
of
the
site,
greener,
outbound
and
blue
are
inbound
routes
from
a
directional
distribution
standpoint.
Approximately
35
percent
of
the
traffic
would
be
approaching
the
south
or
the
site
from
the
north
heading
south.
K
There
were
some
concerns
about
the
amount
of
traffic
that
would
be
added.
The
proposal
would
add
approximately
640
net
new
daily
trips.
So
if
you
break
that
down
into
a
12-hour
period,
you're
looking
at
approximately
19
trips
an
hour
and
over
the
course
of
an
hour
you're
looking
at
a
trip,
maybe
once
every
three
minutes.
K
K
K
That
would
not
be
ada
compliant
other
way.
John
other
side
of
the
street
yeah
there's
stairs
right
there,
so
that
wouldn't
be
ada,
but
from
where
the
cursor
is
around,
the
townhomes
back
to
trenton
street
would
be
ada,
so
most
of
the
site
is
there's.
There's
some
elevation
with
some
risers.
There
was
some
comment
from
the
first
transportation
commission
about
providing
a
connection,
a
logical
connection.
K
From
a
plan
perspective,
it
looks
like
a
logical
connection,
but
we've
moved
the
townhouses
to
the
south
in
order
to
maintain
some
existing
trees
that
are
on
site
some
substantially
large
trees.
So
right
in
that
area
is
there's
trees
that
I
think
karen
could
elaborate
on.
If,
if
we
need
to
so
that's
why
that
connection
isn't
there?
K
K
What
we're
proposing
to
do
is
increase
the
gore
or
the
transition
area
and
introduced
a
yield,
stop
bar
that
would
stop
traffic
coming
from
cathedral
or
thomas
and
they
would
yield
or
have
to
stop
as
traffic
is
coming
off
of
50
and
by
introducing
two
travel
lanes
it
will
also
it'll
it'll,
make
it
more
of
a
controlled
environment
rather
than
just
a
26.
Five
26
foot
wide
roadway
with
no
control
due
to
the
way
that
the
transitions
happen
along
the
service
drive
to
the
west.
K
So
west
slide
is
showing
the
existing
and
proposed
sidewalk
cross
sections
you
can
see
here.
This
is
the
bb
section
today,
there's
a
five
foot
sidewalk
with
no
landscape
buffer
and
then
there's
a
short
retaining
wall
separating
it
from
the
parking
lot
in
the
future.
What
we're
proposing
is
a
five
foot,
landscape
strip,
five
foot,
clear,
sidewalk
and
then
the
building
zone.
K
K
K
There
will
also
be
six
short-term
spaces
near
the
entrance
and
at
staff's
request,
we're
continuing
to
look
at
providing
bicycle
parking
in
the
existing
whitfield
commons
buildings
we'll
be
providing
that
in
a
combination
of
storage
and
throughout
the
site,
and
also
on
here
is
the
current
and
proposed
zoning,
as
well
as
the
loading
summary.
The
multi-family
building
will
have
two
loading
docks.
K
So
here's
the
um
the
p1
level
and
the
p2
level
of
the
parking
garage
it
shows
where
we
pointed
out
earlier.
You
would
effectively
you
pull
into
the
garage
and
circulate
in
a
count
counterclockwise
down
to
the
lower
level.
There's
a
p3
level.
I
believe
that
has
roughly
45
parking
spaces
46
and
you
can
see.
We've
identified
the
bike
room
on
the
p2
level
and
its
connection
to
the
service
drive.
K
So
this
slide
summarizes
the
existing
on-street
parking
restrictions
in
green.
Those
are
residential,
only
parking
for
the
surrounding
apartments.
It's
front
end.
Angled
parking
in
blue
are
the
non-restricted
areas
around
our
site,
boundary
there's
no
changes
proposed
to
thomas
street,
so
that
would
still
be
maintained
as
unrestricted
along
trenton
street,
the
east
side
of
trenton
street.
As
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
won't
be
able
to
park
in
front
of
the
town
homes,
but
we
will
be
providing
a
few
on-street
spaces
in
front
of
the
multi-family
building.
K
So
the
the
preliminary
tdm
plan,
um
streetscape
improvements
along
arlington
boulevard
and
north
trenton
street
uh
installations
of
crosswalks,
and
the
bump
out
that
I
had
mentioned
at
arlington
and
north
trenton
street,
we'll
be
providing
bicycle
and
storage
facilities
as
far
as
promotions
and
services
we'll
be
providing
one
time
per
person.
The
choice
of
smart
trip
card
or
bike
share
or
right.
Car
share
membership,
new
information,
packets,
some
of
the
standard
conditions,
as
well
as
the
tdm
monitoring
and
annual
reports.
V
Good
evening
robert
gibson
from
arlington
county
des
and
I've
been
working
with
this
project
since
it
started
the
process
and
we've
been
through
four
sprc
meetings
to
date.
We
spoke
with
you
a
few
months
back
at
an
information
session
on
the
project,
and
uh
we
have
it
tonight
for
consideration
by
you
before
it
goes
to
the
board.
V
Later
this
month,
um
the
applicant
discussed
the
site
location
um
and
just
wanted
to
to
show
that
again,
um
it's
it's
better
described
as
being
off
of
the
service
road
of
arlington
boulevard
than
arlington
boulevard
itself,
um
and
so
uh
arlene
it's.
The
service
road
is
also
one
way
which
the
applicant
talked
about.
How
that
constrains?
Some
of
the
the
access
and
movement
in
and
around
this
site,
and
then
the
two
side
streets
are
generally
residential
streets
that
have
been
largely
untouched
or
changed
since
the
40s.
V
V
Then
there
are
the
there
is
the
red
cross
building,
which
is
about
10
000
square
feet
or
so
of
commercial
space,
and
then
the
two
single
family
houses,
the
applicant
mentioned
something
about
net
new
trips.
You
may
not
always
hear
that,
and
that
refers
to
the
fact
that
there
are
uses
which
are
being
taken
down,
principally
the
red
cross
and
the
single
family
homes
which
generate
would
generate
trips
today,
and
so
not
all
of
the
trips
that
are
coming
to
this
site
would
be
new
trips.
V
The
project
proposes
rezoning
a
portion
of
the
site
to
r1530t
and
then
having
the
principal
portion
of
the
site
at
r818
consistent
with
much
of
the
rest
of
the
surrounding
area
and
the
existing
general
land
use
plan.
The
uses
on
the
site
would
be
a
mix
of
residential
types
and
affordability
with
19
town
houses.
V
V
Considering
the
affordable
nature
of
the
project
as
it
operates
today,
then
there's
the
parking
for
the
new
multi-family
building
the
applicants
proposing
102
spaces
in
that
at
a
0.88
parking
ratio,
and
then
the
townhouses
have
a
pretty
typical
townhouse
parking
mix
with
two
spaces
per
unit
in
garage
and
then
four
spaces
to
support
visitor
parking
that
would
be
located
on
the
surface
parking
right
there
by
the
in
the
middle
of
the
site.
The
application
also
is
including
leed
gold
for
lead
gold
or
earth
craft
gold
for
the
for
the
project
for
the
multi-family
building.
V
We
also
when
we
look
at
the
bike
network.
You
see
a
lot
of
red
around
this
site
and
the
red
means
that
they
are
not
bike
lanes,
they're
generally
just
identified
with
signs.
So
I
hope
that,
as
we
update
our
mtp
element
of
the
bike
plan,
we
start
to
see
more
blue
on
that
map,
which
means
protected
or
designated
on
street
bike
lanes,
and
so
that
gives
you
a
sense
of
what
the
network
is.
You'll,
also
notice
that
a
lot
of
the
network
around
or
adjacent
to
arlington
boulevard
is
that
same
red.
V
The
arlington
boulevard
network
of
of
bike
lanes
has
been
a
discussion
with
waba
and
they've,
identified
a
plan
and
recommendations
for
bicycle
facilities
along
arlington
boulevard
through
arlington
and
into
our
neighboring
jurisdictions.
To
connect
cyclists
with
the
district
it
is,
it
is
not
very
detailed.
V
It
ident.
It
generally
identifies
good
bad
and
ugly,
and
this
is
kind
of
bad,
not
ugly,
and
we've
got
some
information
on
that.
If
you
want
to
ask
about
it
later,
we
also
have
the
mtp
transit
map
there.
It
shows
north
glebe
road,
george
mason,
drive
and
purging
as
principal
elements
of
our
transit
network,
along
with
express
facilities
along
route,
50
arlington
boulevard.
I
owe
carrie
johnson
50
cents
now,
so
here's
some
images
of
the
existing
conditions
along
the
roadway.
This
is
north
thomas
street.
V
Looking
north
to
your
right,
you'll,
see
a
portions
of
the
church
facility
and
their
school
and
on
the
left-hand
side
is
the
whitfield
commons
buildings
and
no
no
proposed
changes
and
activity
or
development
is
proposed
along
this
road,
but
it
is
part
of
the
site,
frontage
um
and
the
the
um
utilities
that
you
see
there
uh
would
remain
as
overhead
utilities.
However,
when
you
start
to
look
at
arlington
boulevard
and
the
service
road
and
also
north
thomas
street,
sorry,
north
trenton
street,
the
utilities
will
be
undergrounded
with
this
proposal.
V
So
sorry
go
back
one
more
time.
I
think
this
is
images
are
really
important.
Existing
images
are
really
important
to
see
um
the
plan.
Views
are
tough
to
understand.
This
gives
a
much
better
sense
of
what's
going
on
out
there.
If
you
haven't
seen
it
over
the
years,
the
the
roadway
markings
have
have
deteriorated
and
and
vdot's
been
either
negligent
or
um
just
forgetting
whose
responsibility
this
is
to
to
mark,
um
and
so
we're
we're
happy
to
see
this
project
come
along
and
give
a
little
bit
more
thought
of
how
this
space
should
be
allocated.
V
Hopefully,
when
we
have
a
full
discussion
on
how
to
solve
these
bike
issues
along
arlington
boulevard,
so
this
is
about
a
five
to
eight
foot
wide
sidewalk
on
the
side
with
the
bus
stop
like
many
other
bus
stops
along
arlington
boulevard,
it's
a
little
sad,
but
not
nearly
the
saddest
of
the
bus
bus
stops
along
arlington
boulevard,
the
crosswalk
that
you
see
there
is
a
crosswalk
to
a
below-grade
tunnel
which
gets
you
underneath
arlington
boulevard
and
pops
out
at
the
gate
for
the
foreign
affairs
center
there's.
Also
a
bike
share
station
there.
V
V
It's
lacking
some
things
like
some
runnels
to
help
you
get
your
bike
up
and
down
uh
if
you're
taking
your
bike
through
there,
and
we
hope
that
vdot
will
help
us
address
those
next
uh
and
so
north
trenton
street
is
uh
you
know,
a
quaint
little
residential
street
and
it's
also
a
little
while
it's
very
nice
with
its
trees.
It's
a
little
sad
from
pedestrian
perspective,
as
it
has
no
sidewalk.
V
V
So
it's
it's
also
contextually
appropriate
for
this
type
of
neighborhood,
as
opposed
to
maybe
what
we'd
see
in
the
corridor
where
you?
Maybe
you
want
your
townhouses,
a
little
closer
to
the
back
of
the
sidewalk,
and
so
we
we
support
the
proposed
sidewalk
designs
here.
The
applicant
also
talked
about
one
change
that
we
made
late
in
the
process,
which
I
don't
have
a
good
cross-section
for
which
is
the
segment
of
arlington
boulevard
service
road
that
goes
along
the
whitfield
commons.
V
We
felt
that
it
was.
It
was
important
to
try
to
get
something
buffering
that
sidewalk,
um
and
so
the
proposal
is
to
currently
maintain
the
back
edge
of
the
sidewalk
today
and
not
cut
into
that
hillside
and
and
potentially
pull
out
trees,
but
rather
take
a
foot
or
two
feet
out
of
the
vdot
right
of
way
prior
to
the
to
the
ramp,
coming
on
from
arlington
boulevard,
narrowing
that
to
about
24
foot
section
and
putting
that
into
the
sidewalk
area.
So
you
get
about
a
four
and
a
half
foot
wide
buffer.
V
It
can't
be
planted
because
of
utility
conflicts
below
storm
water
conflicts,
but
it
can
give
you
a
nice
buffer
and
then
a
five
foot
wide
sidewalk
with
the
sidewalks
to
remain
on
north
trenton
street.
Excuse
me,
thomas
street
next,
so
there's
a
couple
issues
that
we're
still
working
with
the
applicant
on
mostly
not
transportation,
and
I
won't
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
them,
but
I
would
like
to
note
them.
One
is
the
the
preservation
of
a
historic
easement,
a
lot
over
the
grounds
and
buildings
on
the
whitfield
commons
site.
V
The
project
would
put
a
site
plan
over
it
which
would
limit
it,
but
it
doesn't
put
the
same
constraints
as
the
historic
preservation,
easement
and
I'll
save
that
for
our
historic
preservation
commission
to
to
discuss
the
finer
points
on
the
other
is
a
little
closer
to
my
belly.
Wick,
which
is
the
storm,
is
a
storm
sewer
and
I'll
talk
about
that.
A
little
bit
in
detail
right
here
in
the
next
slide.
V
One
of
the
existing
buildings
on
the
whitfield
commons
sites
was
built
above
a
36-inch
storm
sewer,
and
this
storm
sewer
goes
through
the
middle
of
the
site.
One
thing
that
you
haven't
seen
very
much
of
is
how
topographically
uh
different
it
is
in
the
middle
of
the
site
than
it
is
on
its
edges.
uh
There's
pretty
much
a
uh
a
valley
through
the
middle
of
the
site,
uh
that
used
to
be
where
the
stream
went.
V
We
recommend
that
the
at
this
point
the
applicant
relocate
the
pipe
out
from
underneath
the
building,
provide
an
easement
and
connect
it
to
the
new
pipe
that
they're,
proposing
and
they've
identified.
Some
cost
concerns
with
that
and
have
some
alternatives
which
we
we
don't
support,
and
but
just
putting
that
out
there
as
an
issue
next
so
just
to
to
run
down
some
of
the
key
transportation
elements
that
we've
talked
about,
um
we'll
see
improved.
V
Sidewalks
on
north
trenton
street
and
the
arlington
boulevard
service
road
uh
utility
underground
in
both
of
those
roadways,
a
significant
number
of
curb
cuts
have
been
reduced
and
consolidated,
um
so
that
there's
only
three
curb
cuts
supporting
the
entirety
of
this
project
and
all
operations
internalized
into
the
middle
of
the
site.
uh
The
reduction
excuse
me
reduced
pedestrian
crossing
distance
with
a
curb
curb
extension
at
north
trenton
street.
V
The
project
proposes
bus,
stop
improvements
along
the
service
road.
New
street
lighting
is
proposed
along
the
frontages
of
the
multi-family
building
and
the
townhouses
we're
going
to
see
increased
bicycle
parking
to
support
both
visitors
and
residents
throughout
the
site.
Provision
of
transportation
demand
management
on
all
three
elements
of
the
project,
including
the
whitfield
commons,
which
exists
today
and
then
the
two,
the
townhouse
and
and
multi-family
element,
and
then
you'll
also
see
improved
site
circulation
for
both
pedestrians
and
vehicles.
V
So
with
that
staff,
ex-slide
saf
recommends
adoption
of
the
zoning
changes
and
the
site
plan.
With
the
conditions
identified
in
the
staff
report,
there
are
likely
to
be
a
few
small
changes
to
the
conditions
to
work
out
some
details
between
how
to
make
sure
that
things
in
the
permitting
process
don't
get
messed
up
with
the
existing
whitfield
commons
operating
on
the
site,
which
is
a
little
bit
different
than
most
things
that
you
see
where
you're
talking
about
all
new
buildings
and
that
process.
So
it's
just
a
small
administration,
administrative
changes
that
may
occur.
S
S
S
It
was
done
with
one
day
of
observations
during
the
summer,
uh
with
on
a
day
that
was
just
a
day
or
two
before
a
major
uh
holiday
weekend,
when
many
people
were
probably
already
taking
off
to
go
on
travel,
so
we
don't
feel
that
really
accurately
reflects
the
the
amount
of
traffic
um
and
also
that
the
study
itself
just
has
a
lot
of
vague
terms.
uh
You
know
uh
uh
within
the
reasonable
limits
or
within
acceptable
levels
of
service.
We
don't
really
know
what
that
means.
S
As
residents
of
the
area.
We
know
that
this
we
know
the
traffic
that's
already
on
the
two
roads,
north
trenton
street
and
north
thomas
street.
All
the
traffic
that's
going
to
be
going
into
and
out
of
this
project
will
be
on
north
trenton
street
or
on
north
thomas
and,
as
you
perhaps
saw
from
the
photos
or
if
you're,
driven
through
the
neighborhood
or
walk
through
the
neighborhood
you'll
see.
These
are
very
narrow
streets.
S
These
streets,
narrow
streets
already
crowded,
especially
in
the
morning
when
we
have
cut
through
passing
commuters,
going
to
drop
off
children
at
the
catholic
cathedral
school
also
commuters,
going
to
the
national
guard
center.
uh
The
traffic
backs
up
on
the
on
the
arlington
county
on
the
boulevard
service
road
such
that
some
people
can't
even
get
off
or
out
of
trenton
street
and
thomas
street.
S
S
Finally,
the
uh
entrance
on
arlington
boulevard,
which
will
be
the
entrance
for
the
uh
affordable
housing
building
unit,
is
a
disaster
waiting
to
happen.
You
saw
how
narrow
this
that
arlington
boulevard
service
road
was.
uh
Traffic
comes
off
at
a
high
rate
of
speed
off
of
arlington
boulevard
and
then
just
has
to
stop
immediately
at
that
uh
entrance
and
there's
no
turn
off.
There's
no
driveway
there.
This
the
car
will
remain
right
on
on
the
street,
so
I
think
that's
just
to
be
a
disaster
waiting
to
happen,
but
thank
you
for
your
time.
T
That's
a
different
than
the
uh
the
usual
condition.
I
think
it's
less
parking
the
uh
applicant
didn't
discuss
this.
The
staff
didn't
discuss
it.
The
staff
showed
a
picture
at
the
end
that
says,
site
plan
condition
number
number
32
parking.
I
would
not
very
nice
if
you
ask
staff
what
that's
all
about,
because
we
have
the
aversion
that
they're
asking
an
exception
to
the
usual
uh
thing
and
I
think
it
to
proves
less
parking.
T
T
uh
Obviously,
we're
concerned
about
the
increased
traffic
in
the
neighborhood
that
this
would
generate,
but
the
one
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
that
we
picked
up
during
this
site
plan
review
committee
meetings
and
by
the
way
we
made
a
number
of
suggestions.
The
applicant
didn't
pick
up
any
of
these.
It
was
going
what's
what
you're
seeing
is
what
basically
was
presented
at
the
very
beginning.
T
Virtually
nothing
was
changed
by
the
or
the
sbrc
process,
except
for
a
little
bit
of
tweaking
here
and
there
the
bike
route.
Now,
as
he
pointed
out
that
route
50
is
a
bike
route,
the
the
westbound,
the
eastbound
bike,
light
route
which
is
shown
on
the
map,
is
on
the
south
side,
rolling
boulevard.
It's
a
narrow,
sidewalk,
it's
not
a
good
bike
route.
We
brought
this
up
to
the
sidewalk
and
made
a
community
meeting
saying
that
he
could
dedicate
some
of
the
process
of
the
property
for
the
bike
lane.
T
T
uh
You
know
there's
just
not
enough
space
for
a
bike
lane
a
two-directional
bike
lane,
so
uh
so
so
what
we
really
have
here,
when
you
think
of
what
they
did
at
marymount
in
bolston,
they
put
it,
they
use
some
of
their
property
they
put
in
a
bike
lane
and
because
there's
a
major
bike
route,
that's
exactly
what
this
is,
and
the
applicants
really
refuses
to
do
it,
and
this
is
exactly
why
we
oppose
this
project.
This
is
an
applicant
who
does
not
listen
to
what
we
the
neighborhood
wants
or
what
anyone
wants.
T
uh
But
you
really
need
to
go
into
this.
You
need
you
need
a
you
need
a
bike
lane
a
westbound
bus,
an
eastbound
bike
lane
the
president,
one
of
the
sidewalks
narrow
it's
bumpy,
and
it
would
never
it
bike
shouldn't
be
on
it.
uh
There's
five
foot
people
could
cross
over
and
go
on
the
five
foot
wide
sidewalk,
but
that's
not
really
a
good
idea
of
people
coming
in,
so
that
bike
lane
really
the
now.
The
important
thing
also
parking
uh
well
they're
gonna
move
this
large
parking
lot
as
a
result
of
the
church.
T
So
this
is
a
pretty
big
thing
that
you,
if
you
really
want
to
improve
parking
here,
you
say:
okay,
we'll
put
parking
spaces,
we'll
put
things
like
bicycle
parking,
but
where
are
they
going
to
go?
How
would
they
get
to
the
site
if
they're
coming
on
route
50.
well
they've?
Actually,
these
field
might
bad
because
they're
not
gonna,
be
on
the
other
side
usually,
but
there
are
plenty
of
other
bicyclists
who
will
be,
uh
who
would
really
like
to
have
a
bike
laid
in
there?
T
A
bike
route
and
that's
a
mage
of
250
is
a
major
record
and
that's
the
constriction
point
especially
eastbound
westbound
isn't
a
problem.
They
just
go
on
the
argument
on
that
service.
Road
eastbound
is
a
problem,
and
this
property
has
the
ability
to
save
it.
To
produce
that
thing
by
just
dedicating
a
small
amount
of
property
to
it,
they
might
have
to
push
the
building
back
or
something,
but
they
just
simply
refuse
to
do
it.
Staff
refuse
to
do
anything
about
it.
T
C
So
a
developer
makes
a
redevelopment
deal
which
usually
increases
density,
on-site
parking
and
traffic,
or
have
we
seen
this
before
mr
slatt
in
boston,
where
you
and
the
county
board
approved
the
11th
in
vermont
redevelopment
over
the
total
opposition
of
the
neighborhood
just
a
few
months
ago?
Remember
I
finish.
C
C
There
is
no
new
traffic
mitigation,
can
comment
with
the
applicant's
site
plan
except
buy
bicycles,
bicycles,
bicycles.
There
is
no
workforce
housing
to
be
constructed
on
site.
Workforce
housing
is
different
from
the
so-called
affordable
housing.
The
county
board
approves,
so
residents
can
work
to
nearby
by
employment.
For
example,
mcdonald's
people
who
live
in
workforce
housing
are
workers.
W
W
uh
Last
last,
in
the
last
few
days,
I
I
watched
last
month's
tape
of
the
transportation
commission,
which
I
never
been
to
or
seen
before.
At
the
very
end,
uh
commissioner
perkins
said
well,
since
commissioner
gerhart
is
going
away,
he
would
take
over
asking
where
will
the
pizza
guy
park
and
and
that
question
is
very
apropos
of
this
proposal.
W
There's,
there's
no
place
you
can
stand
temporarily
and
and
go
into
the
building
and
the
whole
design
is
crazy
because,
as
we've
talked
before,
all
the
traffic
is
funneled
on
trenton
and
thomas
street,
going
into
the
back
of
the
building
when
the
front
office
and
the
two
entrances
main
entrances
are
on
the
front
on
the
service
road.
So
you
know:
where
does
the
pizza
guy
park
so
so
most
buildings
like
this
on
the
chatham
condominiums,
which
is
uh
just
a
couple
blocks
away,
has
a
lay-by
lane.
W
You
know
that's
almost
all
the
buildings
around
roslyn
in
in
big
buildings
and
our
neighborhoods
have
uh
lay-by
lanes,
so
people
can
get
in
and
get
out
uh
and
also
you
know
they
push
all
the
traffic
on
the
thomas
and
trenton
well,
they
could
very
easily
put
an
entrance
to
the
garage
on
the
service
road.
That's
where
there's
cuts
now,
and
so
you
know
that's
the
way.
The
chatham
design,
there's
a
nice
beautiful,
lay
by
lane
there's
plenty
of
guest
parking.
Another
thing,
there's
absolutely
no
guest
parking.
W
You
know.
Trenton
street
has
no
parking
they're,
reducing
the
parking
from
eight
spots.
Eight
open
spots,
the
fourth
spots
and
now
they're
uh
and
and
thomas
street,
is
completely
gridlocked
all
the
time
because
that's
where
lots
of
people
park
so
there's
no
guest
parking.
So
where
will
the
guests
of
300
people
park?
W
I
mean
there's
no
parking
in
the
entire
sort
of
block
neighborhood
that
we
have
here
because
most
of
it's
reserved
for
um
uh
for
residents
of
the
of
the
town
houses,
so
uh
this
is
very
poorly
thought
out.
uh
So
I
urge
you
to
uh
table
this
for
further
study.
uh
You
know
we
went
to
all
the
sbrc
meetings
uh
and
we
raised
lots
and
lots
of
transportation
concerns
and
not
a
single
one
has
been
addressed.
W
uh
So
you
know
someone's
comment.
The
rubber
stamp
well
from
our
perspective,
sbrc
has
been
a
complete
rubber
stamp
and
never
address
any
of
the
very
serious
safety
questions
that
pizza
guys
parking
on.
uh
You
know
double
parking
on
the
service
road
will
run
into
uh
traffic
coming
on
from
route
50..
Thank
you
very
much.
A
G
V
I
I
can
speak
to
to
how
that
first,
one,
the
one
that
is
is
just
um
within
the
site.
Boundaries
helps
circulation,
then
I'll
hand
it
over
to
the
applicant
and
their
discussions
with
vdot.
um
But
what
we
see
out
there
today
is
that
there's
there's,
particularly
during
the
peak
hour
when,
in
the
morning
peak
hour,
when
a
lot
of
people
are
doing
the
the
almost
u-turn
movement
to
get
into
the
foreign
service
center,
you
end
up
having
almost
two
classes
of
of
cars,
one
which
is
the
users
of
those
those
facilities.
V
South
of
the
site,
will
typically
get
off
just
at
that
second
entrance.
But
then
localized
users
will
use
the
first
exit
that
we
see
on
this
diagram
and
get
into
the
to
the
through
or
the
right
lane
to
either
go
locally
on
trenton
or
that
or
then
on
to
north
george
mason
drive.
It
can
be
very
difficult
to
get
all
the
way
over
at
that
second
exit
to
make
the
right
turn.
V
So
there's
there's
a
fair
amount
of
local
knowledge
about
operating
that
the
other
issue
is,
and
I
I
thought
a
great
deal
about
what
would
happen
if
this
this
particular
access
was
closed
and
it
would.
It
would
significantly
limit
access
to
that
arlington
oaks,
community
and
this
site,
because
you
would
have
to
then
everybody
would
have
to
get
off
at
that
second
exit
get
across
to
the
right
and
then
circulate
back
in
through
the
neighborhood
to
get
to
the
site
unless
you
did
it
further
down
at
glebe,
road
and
and
circulation
at
glebe.
V
G
About
it,
let's
see
how
the
people
in
arlington
oaks
would
like
it,
because
it
directly
helps
them,
but
the
trade-off
is.
You
also
have
cut-throughs
there
as
you're
saying,
if
you
eliminated,
that
there
would
be
less
traffic
on
trenton,
certainly
northbound
traffic,
because
they
couldn't
use
that
as
a
cut
through,
um
and
it
would
channel
that
traffic
to
george
mason.
You
know
they
have
to
wait
at
the
light,
maybe
a
little
longer,
but
anyway,
I
throw
that
out
as
one
possible
way
to
mitigate
the
traffic
is
simply
close,
that
redundant
um
exit
line.
P
P
You
indicate
that
the
impact
of
this
development
will
be
negligible
and
I'm
really
concerned
about
that,
because
on
page
23
of
this
report
you
say
as
follows:
existing
peak
hour
cues
for
the
turning
movements
were
determined
using
certain
percentile
cues
estimated
by
the
synchro
software.
The
results
are
presented
in
appendix
d
as
shown
on
table
three
two.
P
The
turn
lane
storage
provided
at
study
intersections
is
generally
sufficient
to
accommodate
the
estimated
95th
percentile
cues,
with
the
exception
of
the
westbound
left,
turn
turn
lane
from
north
pershing
drive
under
north
george
mason
drive
during
the
am
and
peak
m
periods.
The
westbound
left
turn
lane
for
etcetera,
etcetera,
etcetera.
In
other
words,
there
are
numerous
exceptions
to
the
general
conclusion
that
this
project
will
have
minimal
impacts,
and
this
is
very
problematic
for
me
and
others,
because
we
believe,
or
are
led
to
believe
that
these
impact
analysis
are
quantitative
and
therefore
objective.
P
And
what
he's
saying
is
that
the
the
route
50
george
mason
intersection
is
already
snarled
during
rush
hour
as
result
of
traffic
from
the
national
guard
bureau
of
the
national
foreign
affairs
training
center
on
many
days,
one
has
to
leave
before
7
a.m,
just
to
traverse
the
three
lanes
to
make
a
left
turn,
etc,
etc.
He
also
says
the
traffic
pattern
for
the
proposed
apartment
building
makes
no
sense
and
raises
serious
safety
concerns.
K
K
When,
when
you
look
at
the
conclusions
of
the
report
and
future
conditions
with
development,
that
goes
to
my
earlier
comment
during
the
presentation
that
our
site
itself
and
the
traffic
related
to
our
site
would
only
be
adding
approximately
one
vehicle
to
those
existing
queues.
So
our
impact
on
the
overall
network
is
very
minor:
we're
not
adding
10
cars
to
the
queue
we're
only
adding
potentially
up
to
one
or
two
vehicles
to
the
existing
cues.
U
We
talked
extensively
about
this
during
the
sprc
process
and
some
of
the
changes
that
we're
proposing
were
in
response
to
some
of
those
comments,
and
we've
discussed
that
with
staff.
We
are
just
to
highlight
some
of
those
changes
we've
made.
We
are
proposing
new
crosswalks
on
trenton
and
thomas
we're
bulbing
out
the
intersection
along
the
service
drive
and
trenton
street
to
alleviate
some
of
the
concerns
about
traffic
making
traversing
the
neighborhood.
U
We
are
actually
expanding
north
trenton
street
we're
pushing
back
the
curb
from
what
exists
today
um
and
in
terms
of
the
service
drive.
This
is
something
we
worked
on
at
length
with
staff
to
try
and
make
some
improvements
that
allowed
for
a
more
navigable,
safer
access
way,
and
then
I
think
I
also
it's
also
important
to
note
that
we
now
are
able
to
traverse
the
site
um
which
did
not
does
not
currently
exist
and
we're
also,
if
I'm
remembering
correctly,
we're
going
from
eight
to
three
access
points,
which
is
a
significant
safety
improvement
as
well.
F
X
Yeah,
I
was
actually
just
going
to
um
sort
of
repeat
the
same
question
that
commissioner
calkins
had
um
again
because,
as
pointed
out
by
um
our
the
the
residents
of
the
neighborhood,
the
the
lay-byes
that
other
buildings
have
are
just
very
efficient
and
obviously
they'll
be
cutting
into
your
building.
But
again,
this
is
just
to
the
safety
questions
that
have
been
raised
by
other
commissioners.
I
just
wanted
to
articulate
that.
M
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman,
I'm
interested
in
the
comments
the
two
a
gentleman
who
one
representing
mr
tucker.
I
didn't
get
your
name,
sir,
but
okay.
Thank
you
and
also
mr
magdalena,
that
you
both
raised
the
same
question
and
that
there's
the
same
issue
and
that
is
a
flawed
traffic
impact
analysis
and
fact
that
there
appears
to
be
very
little
if
any
parking
for
guests
who
are
arriving.
I
would
think
that
with
115
unit
that
there
would
be
a
number
of
guests
at
any
given
time.
V
These
traffic
counts
can
give
us
a
lot
of
information,
but
we
spend
a
lot
of
money
on
the
county
to
go
and
look
at
every
signal
and
its
timing
on
a
regular
basis.
So
this
is
not
the
tool
that
we
use
to
to
operate
our
streets.
It's
a
tool
that
we
use
to
determine
the
impacts
of
a
specific
project
and
the
methodology
which
the
applicant's
transportation
consultant
used
for
the
study
is:
is
industry,
standard
and
consistent
with
practice.
M
V
um
So
there's
a
there's,
certainly
a
difference
between
the
type
of
visitor
parking
that
is
the
pizza
guy
and
that
your
friend
comes
over
for
um
to
watch
a
movie
or
have
dinner
or
something
like
that,
and
so
the
applicant's
proposing
um
to
utilize
and
and
allow
guests
to
park
inside
of
the
garage
for
the
multifamily
building.
How.
M
Y
M
V
So
the
uh
so
the
zoning
ordinance
is
to
provide
one
space
and
one
point
one:
two:
five
spaces
for
the
first.
I
believe
it's
hundred
uh
parking,
100
units
of
development
and
then
one
space
thereafter
and
through
the
site
plan
process,
the
county
board,
the
applicant
can
request
and
the
county
board
can
grant
modifications
to
that.
And
that's
where
this
0.88
parking
ratio
comes
in
as
a
modification
to
the
use.
M
Well,
this
says,
according
to
the
from
what
the
gentleman
presented
here,
that
there
were
no
spaces
that
there
they
say
reasonable
amount
of
guest
parking
here,
I've
been
looking
for
a
number
here.
I
don't
see
anything
offhand
here
for
the
115
units.
There
was
also
another
issue
mentioning
the
school.
This
is
saint
thomas
moore
catholic
school,
that,
during
a
time
when
uh
I
guess
their
services,
that
people
drop
off
students
and
that
they
tend
to
use
certain
existing
parking
which
wouldn't
be
available,
is
that
another
issue.
V
So
this
refers
to
the
um
daycare
that
is
in
the
church,
to
the
the
west
of
the
site,
and-
and
forgive
me-
I
don't
remember
the
name
I
uh
of
the
both
the
daycare
or
the
the
church
that
church
is
currently
for
sale
but
as
part
of
a
I
believe,
1989
use,
permit
amendment
they
requested
and
were
required
to
provide
or
to
have
four
spaces
associated
with
that
use
provided
at
the
red
cross
site.
Now
that
that
is
a
that
is
not
an
obligation
of
the
red
cross
site.
V
That's
a
requirement
of
that
use,
um
and
so
uh
I
we
we've
discussed
this
in
part
with
the
applicant
as
long
as
this
site
is
not
redeveloped
there.
They
have
continued
to
um
grant
that
third-party
use
of
of
the
parking
here
and,
as
the
site
goes
under
construction,
um
that
parking
obviously
would
be
disrupted.
If
that
use
is
continued
at
the
site,
we
recognize
that
um
the
applicant
would
would
likely
have
to
come
back
in
for
a
use
permit
amendment
and,
as
daycare
is
a
as
an
absolute
critical
resource
within
this
county.
A
Just
briefly,
while
we're
talking
about
parking
before
we
go
to
the
other
commissioners,
can
you
just
talk
about?
I
know
as
an
applicant,
you
have
all
sorts
of
other
buildings
in
the
area.
Can
you
speak
about
what
parking
ratios
you
see
as
far
as
utilization
in
your
other
buildings
in
arlington
county.
V
If
I
can
help
them
along
in
in
the
sprc
discussion,
there
was
a
a
discussion
about
both
the
applicant's
experience,
along
with
the
census
data
for
vehicle
ownership,
and
uh
I
don't
have
that
slide
in
my
deck
and
I'm
hoping
they
may
have
that
and
and
that's
based
on
the
the
census
track.
I
also
have
some
information
on
on
mode
splits
for
that
tracked.
K
What
we
show
on
the
slide
is
um
we,
we
summarized
some
of
the
off-street
parking
policies
for
multi-family
developments
in
the
rb
corridor
and
route
1
corridor
that
show
based
on
ami,
the
reduction
in
the
minimum
parking
ratios
for
another
data
point.
We
also
looked
at
city
of
alexandria's
recent
modifications
to
their
parking
requirements
for
affordable
units
for
one
additional
data
point
we
have
the
berkeley
which
was
recently
approved,
which
is
further
from
the
metro,
with
a
parking
ratio
generally
consistent
with
where
we're
at
at
0.93.
K
We
further
looked
at
the
census
data
in
the
track:
that's
immediately
surrounding
the
site
and
based
on
the
census,
data,
53
percent
of
owner
or
rental
occupied
households
within
the
census
tract
owned,
zero
and
38
own
one
vehicle.
So
this
is
an
average
parking
ratio
for
this
immediate
census
track
surrounding
the
site
of
0.56
spaces
per
unit.
K
The
census
data,
which
is
the
lowest
of
all
the
data,
points
berkeley
apartments,
whitfield
commons,
that
exists
today
at
0.68
and
then
our
proposed
development
at
the
0.89-
and
I
would
just
add
to
your
question,
mr
warner
about
about
that.
We
didn't
separate
out
the
vehicle
or
a
portion
of
the
point,
eight
nine,
but
that
the
fraction
of
the
visitor
parking
would
be
within
this
point.
Eight:
nine!
That's.
A
Y
Q
I'd
just
like
to
thank
the
applicant
and
the
staff
for
working
on
bringing
a
project
that
I
feel
brings
density
in
a
place
that
can
support
it
and
houses
for
people
who
need
them.
But
I
do
have
a
question
so
between
the
whitefield
commons,
the
new
multi-family
unit
building
and
the
townhouses,
we
have
three
very
different
parking
ratios.
So
at
whitefield
commons,
we're
looking
at
0.66
the
new
building,
0.88
and
I'll
start
with
those.
Even
though
demand
within
the
census
track
looks
to
be
about
0.53.
V
So
so
I
think
the
first
is
is
speaking
to
the
whitfield
commons,
which
is
currently
subsidized
even
even
more
than
the
the
60
ami.
So
it's
it
represents
um
an
even
more
rare
class
of
housing
in
our
county,
and
it
has
experience
of
vehicle
ownership
rates
that
we
can
immediately
see.
So
we
felt
comfortable
keeping
that
parking
ratio
consistent
with
what
the
site
has
today,
which
is
is
roughly
that
0.68
and
then
and
then
for
the
multi-family.
We
looked
at
the
the
data
points
that
we've
just
been
discussing
and
feel
that
that's
appropriate.
V
Well,
you
can't
do
that.
So
in
this
case
we've
we're
working
with
the
applicant
to
ensure
that
at
the
discretion
of
the
multi-family
building
they
could,
if
space
was
available,
rent
it
to
say
the
whitfield
commons.
If
that
was
necessary,
um
we
will
hold
off
discussion
on
the
townhouse
parking
ratio.
F
Y
So
at
whitfield
right
now
it
is
first
come
first
serve
and
I
will
say
that
anecdotally
not
by
our
traffic
consultant,
but
by
our
management
at
um
the
site.
We
have
done
studies
to
show
that
there
is
less
than
it's
actually
used
at
a
0.5
ratio
about
half
of
our
on
any
given
night,
and
I
do
challenge
folks.
I
will
drive
by
it
again
tonight:
there'll
be
at
least
10
spaces
available.
P
P
He
says
most
big
residential
buildings.
Hotels
in
arlington
have
a
lay
by
lane
to
accommodate
such
normal
activity,
but
the
proposed
apartment
building
doesn't,
alternatively,
the
developers
could
car
carve
out
a
third
parking
line
from
the
site's
existing
footprint
and
also
he
or
someone
else.
I
used
the
word
shoehorn.
P
It
looked
as
it
looks
from
the
site
plan
that
as
much
development
has
been
shoehorned
into
that
very
limited
space
as
possible,
obviously,
to
maximize
uh
revenues
now
has
anyone
on
any
of
the
other
commissions
questioned
the
size
of
this
building,
for
example,
if
the
size,
if,
if
one
story
were
removed
from
this
building,
obviously
you
would
be
losing
those
revenues,
but
you
would
also
be
having
a
much
lower
impact
on
the
neighborhood
or,
if
you
had
a
setback
from
arlington
boulevard.
I
believe
this
building
is
constructed
flush
with
the
roadway
it
have
has.
U
We
did
talk
about
the
reduction
of
density.
We
are
well
within
the
zoning
parameters,
as
well
as
the
general
land
use
plan
for
this
site.
You
know
we
think
that
this
is
consistent
with
the
neighborhood.
It's
consistent
with
a
number
of
developments
that
have
recently
been
constructed
in
the
area
and
in
terms
of
the
service
drive,
we
did
have
conversations
with
vdot
to
discuss
what
changes
could
be
made
in
terms
of
a
lay-by
lane
or
a
setback.
U
You
know
we
did
specifically
have
those
conversations.
They
were
not
supportive.
As
we've
talked
about,
there
are
a
number
of
conflicting
movements
along
the
service
drive
there's
also
a
bus.
Stop,
there's
also
a
tunnel
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
access
is
protected,
and
you
know
we
did
really
work
to
think
about
how
we
could
improve
the
access
on
the
service
drive
with
some
of
the
widening
or
the
sorry.
F
So
I
just
want
to
make
a
quick
statement
that
I
don't
think
I
quite
understood
when
you
guys
started
your
presentation.
Is
I
wasn't
realizing
that
the
entire
new
multi-family
unit
is
some
sort
of
ami.
So
I
think
that's
a
very
important
factor
for
us
as
a
transportation
commission
to
recognize,
because
people
who
are
in
affordable
housing
units
make
different
types
of
trips,
and
I
think
that
would
have
been
very
helpful
to
maybe
emphasize
in
the
traffic
presentation,
because
I
think
I
happened
upon
realizing
that
that
was
the
case.
A
Q
I
would
just
like
to
say
one
small
thing.
I
know
there
is
some
concern
about
the
lack
of
a
lay
by
lane
on
uh
the
service
road
there,
but
as
somebody
who
frequently
does
pedestrianism
activism
who's
really
concerned
about
pedestrian
safety,
as
somebody
who
walks
around
this
county
a
lot
every
time
I
run
into
a
curb
cut
or
an
entrance,
it
is
always
like
one
of
the
hairiest
moments
of
just
walking
around
the
county
and
especially
having
that
kind
of
lay
by
lane
along
the
service.
Q
Road
would
be
something
that
I
would
not
be
comfortable
with,
even
as
a
six
and
a
half
foot
tall,
fully
able-bodied
dude,
just
having
to
look
out
for
cars
around.
My
back
is
one
of
the
like
my
worst
moments
walking
around.
So
I'm
really
happy
to
see
that
that
isn't
there,
even
if
it
does
introduce
some
other
potential
issues,
just
as
a
very
important
part
of
pedestrian
safety.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
A
M
A
I
move
that
the
transportation
commission
recommend
that
the
county
board
adopt
the
attached
resolution
to
approve
the
rezoning
and
approve
the
subject
site
plan
for
a
115
unit,
multi-family
residential
building
and
19
townhouse
units
with
the
existing
63
unit,
whitefield
commons
buildings
to
remain
with
modifications
for
reduced
parking
requirements
and
increased
density
for
provision
of
affordable
housing
and
for
sustainable
building
design
and
other
modifications
as
necessary.
To
achieve
the
proposed
plan
located
at
20
north
thomas
street
1519,
north
trenton
street
and
433
arlington
boulevard
seconded
by
commissioner
price.
Q
A
The
transportation
move
the
transportation
commission
further
recommends
that
the
applicant
and
staff
work
together
to
determine
an
interim
dedicated
westbound
bicycle
facility.
Until
such
time
as
the
bicycle
master
plan
is
complete
and
determines
a
final
recommended
facility
for
the
north
side
of
arlington
boulevard.
A
B
A
A
A
As
far
as
the
operating
budget
is
concerned,
my
understanding
is
that
des
has
largely
escaped
a
lot
of
the
cuts
in
this
particular
operating
budget
of
retained,
most
personnel
and
all
of
that
sort
of
thing.
So
is
the
main
thing
I
think
that's
of
interest
based
on
past
commission
action
is
that
the
board
the
the
manager
has
proposed
a
policy
that
we
have
urged
them
to
adopt
multiple
times
for
a
reason
we
have
urged
them
not
to
use
multiple
times,
which
is.
A
We
have
many
times
said
that
the
county
should
be
charging
for
on-street
parking
meters
much
later
into
the
evening,
but
that
they
should
do
it
to
encourage
turnover
not
to
raise
revenue,
and
instead
the
county
manager's
budget
proposes
continuing
uh
collecting
revenue
from
meters
until
8
pm,
rather
than
6
pm,
which
is
where
they
currently
do.
But
they're
doing
it
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
which
makes
it
look
like
a
way
to
raise
revenue
rather
than
a
way
to
actually
improve
turnover
and
utilization
of
parking.
A
So
that
would
be
the
main
thing
that
I
would
recommend.
We
say
to
the
county
board
that
we
applaud
the
policy
of
managing
our
on-street
parking
later
into
the
evening
when
it's
actually
most
used,
but
that
we
are
disheartened
that
it's
being
done
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
because
it
makes
it
look
like
a
way
to
raise
money
rather
than
a
way
to
properly
manage
an
on-street
parking
asset.
A
Does
anybody
have
anything
else
that
they
are
burning
to
say
about
the
budget,
the
operating
budget,
not
the
capital
budget,
then?
Ideally,
I
would
like
to
formalize
that
would
move
that
the
transportation
commission
recommend
express
to
the
board
support
for
managing
for
collecting
parking
meter
revenue
uh
later
into
the
evening
as
a
means
of
properly
managing
around
street
parking,
but
expressed
disappointment
that
it's
being
done
as
part
of
the
budget
process,
since
it
is
a
good
policy
for
transportation
reasons
not
for
revenue
reasons.
