Alexandria City Council AFFIRMS Braddock Road Redesign
In a narrow 4:3 vote, the City Council upheld the Braddock Road redesign to add bike lanes along approximately the 1 mile corridor from the metro. The vote occurred after a torturously long 11-hour hearing. Thank you to everyone who spent their beautiful Saturday to come out to support this project. With your support we outnumbered the NIMBYs 2:1.
Councilors Bagley, Marks, Aguirre, and Mayor Gaskins voted for the improvements. Councilors Chapman, Elnoubi, and Greene voted against the improvements.

Update on pedestrian killed in Old Town last month. She was legally in the crosswalk, fyi.
To all those (and you know who you are) who speculated this woman was crossing against the light, read the attached. FYI, I knew the victim. Of note:
the investigating officer is looking into a Class 1 misdemeanor charge of careless driving resulting in injury or death.
The pedestrian killed in Old Town North last month was walking within a marked crosswalk with an active countdown on the pedestrian beacon signal, according to a recently released search warrant affidavit.
The 46-year-old male driver stopped approximately 40 feet from where police found her body

Speak in favor of Braddock Road Safety Improvements
On Saturday, May 16th, the Alexandria City Council will consider the appeal of the Braddock Road Safety Improvements. The project will fill a significant east-west gap in our bicycle network, and improve safety for drivers, pedestrians, and bicyclists in the City of Alexandria. The Braddock Road appeal is Docket #12 on the agenda.
We need your support to outnumber the NIMBYs opposing this redesign. Sign up today to speak in favor of the project at City Council. Ask the City Council for a safe cycling network, without gaps, for the health and safety of our children who will use this road to travel to and from school. You can sign up to speak in-person or electronically. Hope to see folks there.
