A
To
the
January
11th
transportation
commission
meeting
this
is
our
first
meeting
of
2018
staff
would
like
to
welcome
two
new
members.
First
is
Harrison
wodsworth.
A
second
would
be
Chris.
Yaron.
Welcome
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
citizen
comment.
We
have
no
speakers
for
item
1
item.
2
is
the
market
common
major
site
plan
amendment?
This
is
an
action
item.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
applicants
representative.
C
Good
evening
I'm
Matt
Altman,
with
the
firm
of
walsh
Colucci
representing
Regency
centers,
who
is
the
owner
and
applicant
for
the
market
common
clarendon
site
plan
project.
The
application
before
you
tonight
consists
of
a
rezoning
application,
as
well
as
a
major
site
plan
amendment
to
facilitate
the
reconstruction
and
adaptive
reuse
of
the
Education
Center
office,
building
at
the
corner
of
Clarendon
Boulevard
and
North
Edward
Street.
C
The
application
proposes
new
density
as
well
as
new
height
for
the
Education
Center
building,
specifically
the
addition
of
a
new
fourth
storey.
Currently
the
Education
Center
building
and
also
more
recently
hosted
the
grid
point
office.
Tenant
is
approved
for
all
office
on
all
three
existing
stories
and
part
of
our
application
is
to
redesign
the
first
and
actually
second
story
to
accommodate
retail
uses,
so
we're
bringing
bringing
a
new
use
mix
into
what
is
currently
a
100%
Office
approved.
Building.
C
The
application
also
proposes
to
incorporate
some
c2
by
Wright
buildings
into
that
site,
plan
boundary
and
I'm,
referring
specifically
to
the
iota
cafe
and
the
engravers
space.
In
total,
the
new
facility
will
have
approximately
one
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
square
feet
and,
at
its
tallest
point
will
be
four
storeys
tall
and
that's
sixty
feet
from
grade
two
other
components.
C
The
application
to
note
are
the
achievement
of
LEED
Gold
certification
and
the
preservation
of
the
historic
engraver
building,
and
this
perspective
on
the
slide
in
front
of
you
is
the
view
of
the
proposed
building
from
that
corner
of
Clarendon
Boulevard
and
North
Edgewood
Street
I
could
have
the
next
slide,
please
so
just
for
background
purposes.
This
image
shows
the
existing
site
plan.
339
site
plan
approval
for
market
common.
C
Really
all
the
work
is
not
here
on
block
a
and
we've
outlined
the
scope
of
work
here
in
red
I'm,
just
walking
around
this
slide,
starting
sort
of
at
the
top
left
in
the
dark
gray,
shading
we've
hatched
the
iota
cafe
and
the
historic
and
graver
spaces,
as
well
as
the
service
alley
that
runs
adjacent
to
the
engraver
building.
That's
the
area
which
is
currently
the
BI
right,
c2
zoning,
and
so
that's
the
scope
of
the
rezoning
application
right
there.
C
We
have
the
inline
retail
and
you
can
see
in
the
aerial
image
the
top
story
of
the
parking
garage
which
is
sited
above
the
inline
retail,
we're
actually
not
proposing
any
changes
to
the
inline
retail
other
than
very
cosmetic
facade
work.
So
really
the
action
is
is
in
that
education
center
building.
So
that's
the
overview
of
the
site
plan.
I'll
turn
it
over
to
wells
and
associates
who
conducted
our
transportation
study,
which
included
some
multimodal
analysis,
which
I
know,
is
a
recent
point
of
emphasis
for
staff
and
for
this
body.
So
thank
you.

D
D
Maximum
pedestrian
traffic
was
observed,
closest
to
the
Metro
at
the
Highland
Street
claritin
Boulevard
intersection
and
the
maximum
bike
trips
were
observed
along
claritin
Boulevard,
where
50
occurred
during
the
a.m.
peak
hour
and
23
during
the
p.m.
Matt
touched
on
the
development
program,
it
results
in
roughly
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
square
feet
of
additional
density.
D
We
analyzed
the
second
floor
of
the
building,
has
a
flexible
option
for
office
or
retail
from
a
trip
generation
perspective.
In
worst
case
scenario,
we
analyzed
maximum
retail
square
footage
within
the
building,
and
that
equates
to
approximately
93
additional
p.m.
peak
our
trips
compared
to
the
existing
use
and
would
actually
result
in
fewer
a.m.
trips.
We
assumed
40%
non
auto
mode
share
based
on
this
is
to
metro
and
the
surrounding
multimodal
facilities
just
to
continue
on.
We
assume
that
build-out
of
2019
and
the
background
condition
future.
D
Without
redevelopment,
we
assumed
to
pipeline
developments
the
red
top
cab,
2311
Wilson,
in
addition
to
a
half
percent
growth
rate,
we
also
accounted
for
all
of
the
existing
vacancies
at
the
time
of
the
traffic
counts
and
that
included
the
office
building
itself,
which
was
completely
vacant
and
approximately
8,500
square
feet
of
retail.
All
right
with
the
development.
The
intersections
would
operate
generally
consistent
to
existing
conditions
and
continue
to
operate
at
acceptable
levels.
D
As
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
the
site
is
surrounded
by
transit
facilities.
There's
six
bus
lines
in
the
area,
we're
1100
feet
from
the
claritin
metro
to
the
west.
There's
a
car
share
facility
within
right
along
claritin
next
to
the
site,
as
well
as
at
the
metro
circulation
plan.
The
site
is
surrounded
by
connected
system
of
sidewalks.
D
There
are
bike
lanes
along
Wilson
Boulevard,
as
well
as
claritin,
there's
on
streets,
parking
surrounding
the
site
and
also
highlighted
on
this
and
blue.
It's
a
little
tough
to
see.
Well,
I
guess
you
could
see
it
is
the
the
pedestrian
paths.
So
there
was
a
question
last
time
we
came
as
an
info
item
with
regards
to
the
office
and
where
the
access
to
that
would
be
there's
a
there.
D
D
So
early
on
in
the
process,
staff
requested
curb
extensions
in
the
southwest
quadrant
of
Wilson
and
Edgewood,
as
I
mentioned.
If
you've
visited
the
site,
that
corner
is
very
tight.
The
office
building
almost
comes
up
to
the
pedestrian
ramps
at
that
location.
So,
by
implementing
this
curb
extension,
it
provides
more
clear
sidewalk
in
it
allows
for
actual
88
ramps
to
be
implemented
at
the
corner.
D
In
addition
to
that,
what
you
see
here
today,
you've
got
about
three
feet
roughly
of
clear
sidewalk,
because
of
the
way
that
the
tree
pits
in
the
landscape
strip
is
in
place
along
Wilson
Boulevard.
What
we're
proposing
is
to
implement
some
ball
bolts
and
put
the
landscaping
into
the
parking
lane
if
you
will
to
create
pockets
for
parking
and
what
that
can
do
is
it
increases
the
clear
sidewalk
to
an
average
of
six
and
a
half
feet?
D
Next
slide
highlights
the
Edgewood
street
rendered
cross
section.
So
if
you're,
if
you've
been
out
there
today,
the
wall
of
the
building
is
essentially
where,
in
the
future,
we're
going
to
be
creating
kind
of
they'll
still
be
a
wall
there.
But
the
building
itself
on
the
first
floor
will
be
set
back
a
little
bit
so
they'll
be
there'll,
be
the
ramp
and
the
stairs
up
into
the
office
piece
or,
as
you
go
north
or
south
of
the
lobby.
There's
potential
for
outdoor
dining
or
private
patio
space
there
for
the
retail
uses.
D
As
I
mentioned
earlier
in
the
next
slide
here,
there
are
marked
bike
lanes
along
Wilson,
Boulevard
and
Claridon,
and
Highland
Street
and
Harford
Street
to
the
west
of
us
are
designated
as
on
road
routes
identified
by
the
arlington
county
bike
map.
There's
two
bike:
share
stations
immediately
adjacent
to
the
property,
as
well
as
one
to
the
west
along
Highland.
D
The
the
class
1
bike
parking
is
going
to
meet
remain
generally
consistent
to
where
it
is
today,
there'll
be
lockers
and
showers
on
the
bottom
level
of
the
of
the
proposed
building,
as
well
as
approximately
32
class
3
visitor
bike
spaces
on
you,
racks
on
the
property.
Those
are
highlighted
in
yellow
and
blue.
So
there's
three
there
today
and
we're
proposing
16
additional
ones
or
13
additional
for
16
total.
D
The
parking
summary
for
block
a
there'll
be
a
total
of
148
spaces
within
the
garage.
This
is
eight
spaces
or
excuse
me,
nine
spaces.
Less
than
currently
are
out
there
today
we're
proposing
to
remove
some
surface
spaces
within
the
alley,
as
well
as
one
space
in
the
garage
and
space
loss
in
the
garage
is
to
convert
two
spaces
to
one
handicapped
space.
D
This
results
in
a
an
overall
parking
ratio
for
the
retail
and
office
components
of
437
square
feet
per
space
and
they'll
be
2
loading
spaces
internal
to
the
alley
as
well.
This
slide
just
summarizes
the
availability
of
on-street
parking
in
the
immediate
surrounding
area.
Again,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
there's
on-street
parking
surrounding
the
entire
property.
D
D
E
E
E
We
have
discussed
the
location
and
what
the
applicant
is
intending
to
do
with
the
streetscape,
and
we
have
already
discussed
what
the
traffic
conditions
are.
This
is
a
picture
of
the
existing
Wilson
Boulevard,
streetscape
and
I.
I
do
want
to
emphasize
that
this
was
one
of
the
key
elements
that
we
discussed
in
the
SPRC
process
was
the
completely
unacceptable
sidewalk
with,
as
well
as
the
very
tight
corner
here.
As
you
see
at
Wilson
in
Edgewood,
it's
a
tight
and
blind
corner
and
we've
got
a
sidewalk
width
of
less
than
three
feet.
E
E
So
this
shows-
and
it's
really
on
the
left-hand
side
of
the
section
and
I
apologize
for
this.
But
it's
basically
it's
shown
that
the
entire
6.8
again
this
this
does
vary
a
little
bit,
but
the
entire
6.8,
which
is
now
more
than
half
consumed
by
tree
pits,
will
be
free
and
clear
for
pedestrian
passageway
again
reminding
of
what
the
sector
plan
does
say.
The
sector
plan
is
far
more
aspirational
and
does
look
for
a
20-foot
sidewalk.
With
an
8
foot
clear
and
a
6
foot
wide
cafe
space.
E
It
similarly
looks
for
a
widened,
more
widened
sidewalk
on
Edgewood
Street.
We
did
not
pursue
that.
The
option
that
we
exercised
on
Wilson
Boulevard
on
Edgewood
Street
for
a
couple
of
reasons.
One
is
that
there
are
only
four
parking
spaces
on
Edgewood
and
we
would
probably
lose
three
of
those
if
we
were
to
to
do
the
bump
out.
Secondly,
Edgewood
Street
is
a
bit
wider.
It's
4.3
4.4
feet
clear
at
the
narrowest
spots.
Edgewood
is
a
pretty
low
volume.
Pedestrian
street
also
I
think
this
is
actually
I.
E
Think
the
thing
that
carried
the
day
for
us
was
the
County
arborist
did
ask
if
we
could
try
to
preserve
the
tree
pits
in
their
existing
locations.
As
you
know,
we
are
relocating
and
removing
the
trees
on
Wilson.
They
are
not
thriving
as
much
as
the
ones
on
Edgewood
Street.
So
for
those
various
reasons
we
did
not
exercise
an
option
to
to
widen
in
the
same
fashion
that
we
did
the
sidewalk
on
Wilson
Boulevard.
We
did
not
choose
to
widen
the
sidewalk
on
Edgewood.
That
does
not
preclude
the
opportunity
to
do
that
in
the
future.
E
However,
again
this
was
the
recommended
Street
section
from
the
2006
sector
plan,
reiterating
what
Mike
Penkovsky
told
about
bike
parking.
That
was
the
visitor
bike.
Parking
was
the
second
item
that
we
identified
as
crucial
in
the
project
and-
and
it
was
our
objective-
to
obtain
at
least
the
minimum
standard
for
visitor
bicycle
parking,
which
would
be
20
spaces,
and
we
asked
that
that
be
proximate
and
prominent,
and
there
will
now
be
a
total
of
16.
You
racks
for
a
total
of
32
bike
parking
spaces.
E
B
F
E
G
You
for
the
presentation
I
did
staff
the
SPRC
for
this
and
I.
Thank
you
guys
for
going
through
a
lot
of
the
work,
especially
in
Wilson,
to
try
and
widen
the
sidewalk.
I
had
a
question
about
the
treatment
on
the
alley
and
if
that
had
been
worked
out
for
kind
of
pedestrian
safety
and
comfort
in
the
older
building,
I
can't
remember
its
name.
H
C
B
C
F
E
F
There
no
I'm
talking
about
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
Whitlow's,
because
it's
you
know
that
the
conditions
that
are
being
fixed
at
this
site
plan
are
only
being
fixed
to
the
edge
of
the
site
plan
and
I'm
just
wondering
if
at
this
point
in
time,
anything
is
being
done
to
sort
of
you
proactively,
be
thinking
about
what
can
be
done.
Should
that
site
ever
be
redeveloped,
so.
E
We
did
discuss
this
as
a
possibility
and
an
option.
What
we
did
discover
is
that,
literally,
when
you
cross
the
alley
going
west
from
the
site,
the
sidewalk
actually
begins
to
widen
and
you
gain
as
much
as
two
feet.
It
gradually
widens.
So
we
do
not
have
the
tight
condition
at
the
Wilson
proceeding
west
on
Wilson
toward
Whitlow's.
We
also
have
trees
that
and
it
could
be
because
the
building
there
is
lower
and
they
get
more
light.
Those
trees
are
bigger
and
they
are
thriving
and
our
arborist
didn't
want
to
lose
those
trees
either.
E
E
I
think
the
biggest
issue,
one
of
the
biggest
issues
that
we
have
and
I
don't
know
how
and
when
we
might
tackle
this,
but
the
paving
materials
which
were
unfortunately
sort
of
a
recommendation
from
a
previous
era
are
those
hexagons
are
problematic
and
we'd
like
to
see
something
just
a
lot
smoother
and
we're
going
to
get
that
around
this
project.
But
we
will
not.
I
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
just
one
question
on
parking
and
I
notice
on
page
15,
on
the
preservation
of
engravers
building
at
notes,
a
reduction
in
some
parking
spaces
from
11
to
4
and
it,
but
in
particular
on
page
17,
on
parking,
there's
a
fairly
concise
discussion
there
about
a
reduction
in
space
parking
spaces
per
existing
of
250
square
feet
for
office
and
retail
uses
to
one
space
per
580
square
feet
for
both
office
and
retail,
and
that's
a
major
reduction.
So
my
question
is:
it
also
goes
on
before
getting
into
the
question.
I
It
also
mentions
that
it
is
consistent
with
parking
ratios
typically
approved
in
recent
site
plans.
So
my
question
is:
how
does
that
the
new
the
proposed
parking
compare
with
actual
development
of
equivalent
size
in
terms
of
parking
it
would
this?
Is
this
consistent
with
what
is
seen
by
recent
developments
over
the
last
three
or
four
years
of
equivalent
retail
and
commercial
space?
Know.
E
This
building
has
far
more
parking
than
we
typically
approve.
Today.
It
probably
has
twice
as
much
parking
as
we
would
typically
approve.
Today
there
is
an
excess
of
parking
in
the
market
common
garages
to
be
perfectly
honest,
and
because
this
is
an
existing
building
with
existing
conditions,
that's
not
going
away
they're,
adding
square
footage
that
reduces
the
ratio,
but
there's
still
more
than
enough
parking
in
the
garage.
It
serves
the
Bakke
and
then
there's
the
second
or
actually.
The
first
question
you
had
was
about
the
street
parking.
E
E
We
think
you
know
in
terms
of
talking
about
the
balance
of
the
needs
for
the
street
and
because
of
the
completely
unacceptable
sidewalk
with
we
thought
that
this
was
an
appropriate
change
to
make,
but
we
also
do
realize
that
this
is
a
a
highly
desired
place
for
people
to
go,
some
of
whom
do
drive
their
cars,
and
so
we
felt
that
we're
preserving.
You
know.
E
88%
of
the
non
street
parking
and
given
what
we
know
about
the
utilization
of
the
the
what
I
call
the
Orvis
garage
is
to
go
out
on
film
or
that
serves
this
site,
which
is
never
more
than
70%
full
and
there
are
over
a
thousand
spaces
in
there.
We
believe
that
this
is
not
excessive
in
the
loss
of
parking,
so
that
there
is
sufficient
on
street
parking
for
the
retail
and
restaurant
uses,
but
there,
but
we
are
gaining
some
sidewalk
with
so.
I
E
I'm
very
confident
that
it
would
there
people
talk
as
if
there
is
a
lack
of
parking
in
Clarendon.
There
is
not.
There
are
spaces
that
people
like
to
park
or
they
like
to
park
for
free,
but
our
assessment
of
the
garages
in
Clarendon
is
that
there
is
always
space
available
and
the
demand
for
those
spaces
is
usually,
as
you
probably
know
on
a
weekend
evening,
and
those
are
when
we
have
done
counts.
These.
E
E
F
E
D
F
C
That's
right,
the
main
garage
is
underneath
the
loop
or
the
horseshoe,
and
then
there's
also
parking
on
block
a
which
just
for
context,
the
the
block,
a
garage
or
the
Orvis
garage
provides
retail
parking
for
that
block,
as
well
as
parking
for
the
Cheesecake
Factory
restaurant
across
the
street.
That's
under
an
old
site
playing
condition
and
the
parking
for
the
office
building
under
the
prior
zoning
approvals
is
actually
split
between
either
side.
So
there's
there's
quite
a
bit
of
parking
reserved
underneath
the
retail
horseshoe
and
then
some
in
the
the
Orvis
garage.
So.
F
J
Sit
on
yes,
Lou,
okay,
yeah
I've
got
a
question.
This
is
maybe
not
directly
related
to
the
site
plan,
but
we're
the
those
who
did
the
traffic
study.
There's
it.
Ok
did
you
notice
any
near
misses
or
dangerous
driving
conditions,
while
you're
watching
the
traffic
flows,
there
is
the
Wilson
and
Clarendon
boulevards
go
downhill
and
we
have
these
cross
streets.
J
J
I
had
to
ask
because
it's
not
about
me
it's
about
the
county,
but
I've
been
in
one
car
accident,
my
entire
life,
and
it
was
at
Danville
and
Wilson,
where
someone
pulled
out
in
front
of
me,
because
the
clearance
is
not
very
good,
so
maybe
separate
from
what
we're
looking
at
today,
but
I
had
to
ask
since
he
had
done
the
study.
Second
question:
did
you
notice
any
tow
trucks
operating
in
the
area.
J
K
G
Early
in
the
consultants
presentation,
you
said
that
you
took
a
40%
trip
reduction
I'm,
assuming
that
was
off
of
the
ite
trip
generation
rates
that
doesn't
seem
high
enough.
Considering
the
proximity
to
the
metro.
Does
the
county
have
data
on
what
the
typical
trip
reductions
are
for
mixed
use
areas
within
a
quarter
mile
of
a
metro
station.
E
We
do
not
have
that.
We
are
in
the
process
of
developing
as
you're,
probably
familiar
with
the
multimodal
traffic
and/or
transportation
analysis
for
future
site
plan
projects.
We're
aware
that
we
are
extremely
conservative
in
the
numbers
that
are
used
in
our
T
IAS
and
we
are
gradually
shifting
towards
something
that
is
more
multimodal
and
is
more
reflective
of
the
situation
on
the
ground.
G
E
This
is
somewhat
typical,
but
we
recognize
that
it's,
it's
still
conservative
until
we
come
up
with
something
better
and
we
have
looked
at
different
models,
certainly
the
DC
model.
When
we
have
run
it,
it
seems
to
actually
be
fairly
close
to
Rosslyn
Boston
that
this
corridor,
but
we're
still
in
very
early
stages
of
trying
to
change
that
I'm.
E
B
B
A
Our
next
item
is
item
3,
the
2018
transportation,
commission
planning
session
and
you'll
notice.
It's
your
desk.
There
was
a
sort
of
a
one-page
with
all
the
various
dates
and
how
we
typically
schedule
these.
It's
the
Thursday
before
the
Monday
Planning
Commission,
where
the
what
I
call
the
Planning
Commission
week,
because
they
often
have
multiple
days
with
that
sometimes
there's
a
holiday
on
a
Monday
and
such
as
next
week.
So
then
they're
at
it
Wednesday
Thursday.
The
only
exception
to
this
is
on
April
4th.
B
A
B
B
Our
meeting
agendas
will
always
be
filled
with
the
stuff
that
the
county
board
is
going
to
be
acting
on
the
you
know
the
following
meeting,
but
there
is
always
also
the
opportunity
and
in
fact,
if
you
read
through
the
Commission
guidelines,
it
is
in
fact
one
of
our
duties
to
also
attend
by
to
the
board
new
areas
of
policy
or
areas
of
policy
transportation-related
that
bear
updating.
It
is
not
just
hours
to
to
tell
them
how
to
vote
on
the
stuff
that
is
already
going
to
appear.
B
It
is
also
ours
to
recommend
new
policy
or
updated
policy.
So
in
that
vein
of
asking
for
things
to
be
on
our
agenda,
rather
than
taking
what
is
handed
to
us
on
our
agenda,
this
is
a
year
that
we
update
the
capital
improvement
plan.
We
do
that
every
two
years,
so
I
have
talked
to
staff
about
getting
kind
of
a
head
start
on
that
I
feel
like
the
CIP
always
comes
in
front
of
the
Commission,
but
never
quite
as
early
as
might
be
useful
from
actually
understanding
the
projects
that
are
going
to
be
in
it.
B
B
Sounds
good
but
I
wanted
to
give
everybody
the
opportunity.
um
If
there
are
other
areas
of
policy,
you
think
we
should
be
looking
at
being
briefed
on
talking
about
examining
over
the
course
of
the
next
year.
No
exact
promises.
We
have
to
work
with
staff
and
you
know
schedule
it
in
and
see
what
we
can
do,
but,
for
instance,
in
the
past
we
have
made
a
recommendation
to
the
board
that
a
traffic
signals
policy
or
a
traffic
operations
element
be
added
to
the
master
transportation
plan.
B
G
It
would
be
a
really
good
opportunity
if
we
took
a
holistic
look
at
on-street
parking,
not
just
in
our
activity
centers
but
within
the
county
as
a
whole.
If
you
look
even
just
at
the
market
common
example
that
we
got
today,
there's
about
eight
different
categories
of
parking
restrictions
with
ours
all
over
the
place.
I
specifically
think
that
we
need
to
and
I
know
it
involves
the
business
community
as
think
about.
When
are
metered
parking
stops,
because
six
o'clock
is
very
early.
G
I
know
a
lot
of
people
wait
till
559
and
they
put
a
dime
in
the
meter
and
they
walk
away
and
they
park
for
free
all
night.
It's
really
not
serving
a
business
in
the
area
because
a
lot
of
them
are
going
to
a
friend
that
lives
in
a
condo
building
at
our
apartment
building
and
just
marrying
that
with
the
residential
parking
permit
and
ours
around
they
just
it
needs
a
good
holistic.
G
A
B
Best
you
don't
and
I'm
not
to
put
you
on
the
spot.
If
you
don't
know
we
can
follow
up
later.
There
were
a
number
of
those
recommendations
when
the
residential
parking
guidelines
were
adopted
by
the
board,
where
staff
recommended
that
the
board
recommended
back
to
staff
that
they
do
things
like,
for
instance,
look
at
on-street
parking
hours
and
look
at
the
residential
parking
permit
program.
Do
you
know
if
those
motions
were
in
fact
made
by
the
board
if
the
board
directed
staff
to
take
on
those
tasks,
I
believe.
A
F
I
with
this,
this
might
be
a
little
aggressive
in
terms
of
the
Commission's
authority,
but
I'm
inclined
to
suggest
it
anyway.
I,
don't
and
I,
don't
know
what
the
outcome
would
be,
but
I
I
think
the
Commission
should
look
at
whether
it
recommends
that
Arlington
and
support
senator
favelas,
crosswalk
yield
I,
don't
know
what
the
county's
thinking
is
on
that.
If
they've
already
articulated
a
position,
mr.
F
B
F
Would
require
motorists
to
yield
to
pedestrian
in
a
crosswalk?
It
would
not.
The
language
is
not
at
a
crosswalk
from
from
where
I
said,
and
just
you
know
my
own
biases,
that
I
think
at
a
crosswalk
would
be
better
language
and
and
both
would
be
more
pedestrian
friendly
and
would
be
better
for
corridors
like
like
anywhere
on
Washington
Boulevard
or
where
I
had
almost
been
run
over
several
times
over
the
last
four
years
crossing
Fairfax
to
get
to
the
law
school,
but
that
you
know
you
you
you
you.
F
If
you're
gonna
comment
on
a
bill,
you
comment
on
the
bill
as
it
exists.
It
may
be
done,
and
maybe
our
recommendation
could
be
that
it's
a
good
bill.
It
should
be
some
other
thing:
I,
don't
I'm
not
trying
to
prejudge
whether
and
if
the
tone
of
the
Commission's
thinking
would
be.
That's
just
my
reflection
on
it.
Thank.
I
So
then
there
was
not
two
or
three
weeks
in
advance,
but
perhaps
a
month
or
two
so
that
we
can
give
us
an
opportunity
to
look
into
the
detail.
So
we
can
ask
more
details
or
probing
questions
on
that
and
they
have
something
to
say:
if
possible
is
that?
Has
that
been
worked
out
and
all
on
I
think
one
of
the
suggestions
was
that
a
presentation
by
somebody
from
the
bicycle
committee
that
would
help
about
what
they're
thinking
isn't
where
they're,
where
they
are
well.
A
I
I
B
B
Mom,
because
once
the
the
sort
of
idea
that
in
November
and
December,
was
to
try
and
solidify
that
policy
framework
to
some
extent
and
then
the
the
working
group
is
jumping
into
the
the
real
nitty-gritty
of
design
guidelines
and
a
network
map
of
like
identifying
actual
streets
for
improvement
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
that's
going
to
take
quite
some
time
with
lots
of
community
engagement.
um
So
the
working
group
will
be
back
probably
at
least
twice
more
while
doing
all
of
this
work
and
then
like
our
normal
process.
B
I
would
expect
us
to
have
it
as
an
information
item
and
then
as
an
action
item
and
then
two
weeks
after
that
would
be
the
board
action.
So
you'll
see
it
at
least
a
month
and
a
half
in
advance
and
then
again
right
before
the
actual
report.
Action
make
sense,
mm-hmm
other
Commissioner,
the
Commissioner
Watts
worth.
J
Mr.
chairman,
on
the
topic
of
question
of
what
topics
to
look
at
for
the
year
and
things
to
think
about,
I
think
there's
just
tremendous
change
going
on
and
transportation
right
now
and
then
we're
gonna,
see
incredible
technological
change
in
the
next
10
to
20
years
and
I.
Think
our
should
be
ready
to
embrace
that.
So
to
the
extent
that
maybe
we
could
think
about
having
you
know,
I
mean
I
noticed
there
were
no
outside
speakers
today,
but
maybe
to
encourage
someone
to
come
in
to
talk
about.
J
You
know
autonomous
vehicles,
people
think
autonomous
vehicles
are
gonna,
be
here
in
five
years:
they're
not
but
they're
gonna,
be
here
in
15
20
years,
and
how
does
the
county
look
at
that
and
how
do
we
embrace
and
sort
of
plan
to
wind
funny
win
funding
opportunities
that
the
state
or
federal
government
might
have
so
I?
Think
the
more
we
all
understand
about
that,
then?
What
better?
We
can
advise
the
board
on
how
to
look
to
the
future.
So.
B
A
B
For
me,
I
feel
like
it's
just
going
to
make
a
v's
and
all
that
sort
of
thing
we're
heading
towards
it's
just
going
to
make
curb
space
that
much
more
deer
and
something
that
we
fight
about
more
so
makes
me
think
the
time
to
update
the
curb
space
management
element
of
the
MTP
is
coming
sooner
rather
than
later,
yeah
any
other
Commissioner
thoughts.
Commissioner
Gary.
B
B
This
is
bigger
than
biking
vision,
zero
is
bigger
than
bike,
and
it's
about
everybody
honestly,
the
most
highest
number
of
lives,
you're
gonna,
save
with
the
vision,
zero
or
driver's
lives,
none
bicyclist
our
lives
or
pedestrian
lives,
and
it
sounded
like
the
board
was
definitely
interested
in
moving
in
that
direction,
but
asks
staff
for
a
to
come
forward
with
a
proposal
for
for
what
vision,
zero
would
look
like
in
Arlington.
What
kind
of
process
are
we
looking
at
and
what
are
we
thinking
it
might
entail?
B
I'm
sorry
I
can't
hear
you
without
your
mic
on
so
vision.
Zero
is
a
an
international
sort
of
an
international
movement.
It
started
in
like
more
than
Nordic
countries,
Sweden,
maybe
of
trying
to
re
trying
to
move
towards
zero
fatalities
or
serious
injuries
on
our
public
on
our
transportation
system.
So
what
do
we
have
to
do
holistically
to
get
from
saying?
B
L
Just
like
a
Commissioner
Calkins
that
I
would
like
to
see
it.
Let's
look
holistically
at
on
street
parking.
I
mean
I,
think
it's
something
that
we
can
really
have
an
impact
on.
It
comes
up
a
lot
of
these
Commission
hearings
and
additionally,
I'm
also
interesting,
hear
more
about
newest
and
latest
technologies.
We
did
have
someone
come
speak
on
Nichols
I
felt
that
the
position
of
the
speaker
was
a
bit
conservative
compared
to
other
counties
in
the
country.
So
I
would
like
to
hear
an
update
on
how
the
county's
being
advised
on
that
topic.
F
F
Single-Family
neighborhoods
in
Arlington
over
the
so-called
ways
effect,
and
it's
not
really
just
ways:
it's
it's
any
sort
of
internet
animated
mapping
tool
and
for
what
it's
worth.
You
know
well,
I
think
that
what
we're
seeing
is
a
more
efficient
utilization
of
the
existing
grid.
There
is
an
undeniable
community
anxiety
about
that
and
I,
don't
know
what
this
Commission
can
do,
or
advise
the
board
to
do
to
to
put
people
at
ease
so
that
you
know
we
so
that
that
stops
being
an
obstacle
to
consensus
where
it
needs
to
happen
or
to
address
people's
concerns.
F
H
Is
slightly
um
not
fully
thought-out
but
because
we've
had
discussion
that
the
transportation
camp
and,
among
other
things,
it's
around
bus
service
and
really
buses
serve
a
whole
constituents
of
our
population
that
are
part
of
the
incoming
inequality
gap
and
I
know.
I
was
even
at
Arlington
County
discussion
about
finances
and
the
budget
for,
and
you
know
the
suggestions
that
we
just
get
rid
of
art
right.
But
you
know
art
honnestly
serves
a
whole
population.
I
use
the
best.
H
I
know
others
of
us
use
the
bus
there's
just
too
continued
I,
don't
know
whether
we
need
to
do
a
study
or
keep
that
at
the
forefront
of
our
minds
or
as
we
go
through
transportation,
we're
talking
about
a
lot
of
cars,
parking,
etc
and
but
I
think
the
buses
still
represent
a
really
strong
part
of
our
multimodal
offering
so
I
just
want
to
put
it
put
that
out.
There.
B
L
I'll
just
echo
that
state
sentiment
I
think
in
March.
One
of
the
first
means
that
I
went
to
talked
about
raising
art
bus
fares
and
looking
into
some
of
the
research
I
didn't
find
any
survey
of
the
of
the
commuters
since
2012
in
terms
of
household
incomes
of
people
who
ride
the
art
bus.
You
know
how
much
they
use
it.
So
I
don't
know.
Perhaps
if
the
county
has
an
updated
study
or
if
that's
something
we
could
push
for.
B
Maybe
hidden
in
the
TDP
instead
of
out
where
the
rest
of
our
the
transit
development
plan,
because
we
updated
that
in
2016
16
and
then
yeah
we
so
we
did
the
every
most
years.
You
can
just
like
amend
your
transit
development
plan
to
say,
and
next
year
we're
going
to
do
this
and
but
then
ever
a
certain
number
of
years,
five
or
seven
or
ten,
or
something
like
that.
B
You
have
to
completely
redo
it
and
start
over
and
16
was
the
year
we
completely
redid
it
and
started
over,
and
so
we
updated
the
transit
element
at
that
time.
So
let
me
see
if
I
can
help
you
find
some
of
that
anything
else.
All
right,
I
just
wanted
to
echo
Commissioner
Calkins
recommendation
that
we
look
a
bit
more
at
on
street
parking
holistically
um
and
I
would
like
to
see
us
follow
back
up
with
staff
about
where
car
sharing
stands.
B
We've
made
some
progress
in
the
last
year
at
actually
standardizing
into
an
ordinance
how
we
handle
car
sharing
and
companies
that
want
to
come
in
and
do
either
point-to-point
or
fixed
parking
space.
Car
sharing,
um
but
to
the
best
of
my
knowledge,
were
still
in
a
weird,
extended
pilot
with
car
to
go
and
not
anything
official.
That's.
A
K
K
B
um
So
there
we
added
some
taxes
a
while
back
on
to,
for
instance,
gasoline
wholesale
by
the
barrel
and
some
stuff
like
that
that
gets
collected
a
seventy.
Thirty
percent
of
it
is
returned
to
the
locality
that
collected
it
for
various
purposes:
transportation,
all
transportation
related
and
then
70
percent
of
it
is
kept
at
the
Northern
Virginia
Transportation
Association
Authority
gosh
darn
it.
B
There
are
too
many
and
VTA's
Authority,
which
is
a
regional
body
that
then
doles
that
out
to
regional
projects,
grant
funding,
and
so
yes,
one
potential
I
believe
McAuliffe's
budget
proposal
that
dedicated
Metro
funding
a
portion
of
it.
A
big
chunk
of
it
come
out
of
NBTA
money,
which
is
lovely
for
metro
to
have
dedicated
funding,
but
also
means
less
money
for
all
of
the
other
transportation
things
that
we
wanted
to
build.
Originally.
B
All
right
and
we'll
call
that
a
wrap
for
Commission
planning
I
do
have
one
other
commission
business
item,
which
is
since
we
talked
quite
a
bit
about
TI
ace
today
and
Commissioner
Calkins
delved
into
trip
generation.
I
did
want
to
point
out,
so
we
sent
a
letter
several
months
ago
as
part
of
a
development
in
Crystal
City
that
came
in
front
of
us
and
had
a
number
of
public
speakers.
Those
public
speakers
wanted
to
see
the
county
reform.
How
we
do
our
traffic
traffic
analysis
is
part
of
site
plan
developments.
B
We
concurred,
I'm,
not
sure
we
actually
agreed
I'm,
not
sure
what
we
wanted
change
and
what
the
neighborhood
wanted
change
we're
the
same,
but
we
did
concur
with
them.
The
county
is
moving
in
that
direction,
as
mr.
Selin
alluded
to
during
our
conversation
today,
I
wanted
you
to
all
put
on
your
calendars.
Monday
February
26th
from
7:00
to
8:30
tentatively,
will
be
a
public
discussion
about
how
we
move
to
a
multimodal
transportation
impact
analysis.
B
I
think
I've
been
suckered
into
speaking
on
a
panel
as
part
of
it,
so
you
can
all
come
and
laugh
at
me,
but
that's
where
we'll
delve
more
into
what
the
county
is
thinking
a
multi-modal
transportation
analysis
might
look
like
versus
the
cia's
that
we
currently
get.
That
mostly
just
tell
us
level
of
service
for
intersections.
B
So
if
anyone
has
a
specific
interest
there
or
lives
near
there
or
is
just
looking
for
something
to
do
with
their
free
evenings,
please
let
me
know
if
you
would
like
to
be
our
site
plan
review
committee
rep
before
that
project.
Do
you
know
of
any
other
projects?
Actually,
I
should
probably
just
ask
Commissioner
weir.
Do
you
know
if
anything
else
going
at
SPRC
soon
that
hasn't
been
2tc
yet.
B
Sprc,
okay,
so
it's
like
plan
review
committee
is
a
group
that
looks
at
all
of
the
major
development
in
Arlington
County.
So
this
project
that
came
before
us
here
went
through
three
or
potentially
more
three
site
plan
review
committee
meetings,
and
so
we
have
a
rep
on
site
plan
review,
various
other
Commission's
that
care
about
things
that
development
touches
have
reps
and
is
it
a
committee
of
the
whole
for
the
Planning
Commission
every
single
planning
Commissioner
is
on
it.
B
So
it
is
a
huge
opportunity
to
actually
make
an
impact
in
what
transportation
type
things
end
up
being
included
on
the
developers
dime.
As
far
as
you
know,
for
instance,
this
developer
is,
you
know,
moving
those
tree
pits
into
Wilson
Boulevard
into
the
parking
lane
to
make
that
wider
sidewalk.
All
of
that
was
worked
out
at
site
plan
review
committee.
Commissioners.
H
H
B
K
B
F
F
F
Are
special
club
studies
with
the
lrpc
right
now?
The
long
range
planning
committee
is
another
committee
of
the
whole
of
the
Planning
Commission.
The
two
of
them
are
2300:
ninth
Street
South
in
Penrose.
It
is
I'll,
try
to
be
real
brief
about
these.
It's
a
office
building
that
is
just
north
of
the
development
of
the
you
know,
Park,
where
William
Jefferies,
tavern
is
and
right
next
to
where
the
giant
on
Columbia
Pike
is
the
the
issue.
Is
that
it's
the
the
building
is
the
old
building
plan.
F
Office,
so
it's
an
interesting
sort
of
really
obscure
hypothetical,
only
kind
of
example
of
well
the
the
owners
want
to
change
the
building
to
be
more
consistent
with
the
glop
and
does
that
raise
any
any
sort
of
problems,
so
they'll
probably
be
an
SPRC
on
that
in
q3,
maybe
early
q4,
the
other
SPRC
process
that
we're
likely
to
get
is
the
staples
building
on
Wilson
Boulevard
is
it
Wilson
is?
Is
it
yeah
it's
Wilson
there
and
that
I
think
is
I
think
that
the
the
conversation
is
something
about
a
hotel
right
now.
F
A
F
F
One
of
the
points
that
was
made
up
at
a
recent
lrpc
meeting
is
that
it
doesn't
look
like
there's
going
to
be
on
one
side
as
a
church
right
and
on
the
other
side
is
his
housing
Conservation
District,
Garden
Apartments
it.
There
may
in
fact
be
some
movement
with
respect
to
the
church,
but
that's
like
like,
like
the
Greeks
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
horizon,
and
the
only
ad
we
don't
really
it
could
be
precedent-setting,
but
maybe
it
won't
be.
Who
knows,
is
sort
of
where
we're
at
right?
Now,
all.
