Maple Avenue/123 Closed

Maple Avenue/123 is closed today both ways due to a sewer pipe rupture. The pipe also happens to lie next to a major gas line. If you want to be mad at anyone, make it the elected officials who have most likely dropped the ball on maintenance. However, don't blame the police and public works crews, they did not cause it and they are stuck fixing it! And after talking to the guys out there working on it, it might be a good while before it is all fixed.

Think about this: we now have a multi-million dollar Town Green, but our sewer infrastructure is rotting out. Maud enough of the pet projects, take care of the basics. How much money did this cost businesses today? Seriously, what will be the total economic loss from this? Vienna's political machine sure messed up the lives of tens of thousands of Fairfax County residents today.
