The Big False Hope: Sidewalk Priority Hearing

This sham will take place in September. HistoricVienna.com highly doubts NW Vienna will ever get decent sidewalks:

At its September 22 meeting, the Town Council will hold a public hearing on a pro-posed list of sidewalk construction priorities. The meeting will begin at 8 p.m. in the Council Chamber at Town Hall, and all interested citizens are encouraged to attend.

In 2006 the Vienna Sidewalk Committee, composed of representatives from the Town’s Planning and Transportation Safety Commissions, conducted a survey to get citi-zen input on the need for additional pedestrian facilities. Based on the responses to that survey, the committee prioritized projects into four groups to recommend to the Town Council, giving top priority to areas without any sidewalks followed by areas with side-walks already on one side of the street. Other criteria included providing walking routes to schools, bus stops and shopping, and infill where sidewalks are not continuous.
The proposed sidewalks in Priority Group 1 are listed below. For a complete list of all four priority groups, go to www.viennava.gov or call the Public Works Department at 703-255-6381.
