Aw, Man, the Town is "Disheartened"

HistoricVienna.com is very disheartened to know that the Mayor and Town Council are very disheartened. Do you think Supervisor Hudgins is very disheartened, too?! How will anyone sleep tonight with such heavy hearts. Sigh ....

July 2008 Newsletter: Study Needed on Impact of Tysons Traffic

The Town Council has asked Supervisor Cathy Hudgins and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors for a comprehensive traffic study of specific intersections in Vienna that will be affected by the redevelopment of Tysons Corner.

Council is encouraged that money has been identified for this purpose but is very disheartened to know the actual study will not be completed until after the Tysons Land Use Task Force makes its recommendations.

In order for such a massive and dense plan to work, transportation in the surrounding areas must be an integral part of the entire plan. Citizens are encouraged to contact the Board of Supervisors and ask
them to address the impact on Vienna.

Shall we also ask the BOS to address the impact of our moronic Town Council on Vienna?

WHAT ABOUT VIENNA'S EXISTING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS???? What happened to Laurie Cole's proposed traffic study 2 years ago (during election time)?

Before this Mayor and TC become too "disheartened" they need to clean up their own backyard!! If Vienna had a plan in place for controlling traffic and it was working than I could understand local government being upset, but they don't. Nothing! This all seems like one more attempt to make Tyson's Corner look like bully's. The fact of the matter is that we live in a Metropolitan Area and we are being overtaken by it. Who knew the Nations Capital would grow?! I have always maintained that we can either work with Tyson's or be a pitiful little blip to commuters. Because we are a Town we have the ability to actually have Vienna looking fantastic where people want to shop talk and walk. This is not what Vienna is now, despite the denoted "pedestrian area."

This Major and TC do not appear to work with anyone, but do ignore or besmirch those who oppose their do nothing view. This is no way to run a government, and we are all suffering because of it.
