YES!!!<br /><br />Do you know how much traffic smart growth Shirlington puts into the surrounding neighborhoods?<br /><br />Can we please have ART bus service in Fairlington and the surrounding condo communities, also shuttle bus service to/from Shirlington Village - neighborhood population is 15,000; 9,000 live in Fairlington. Oh, can't do it, there's a synthetic playing field that has to be renovated, costs $800,000. $ignature / $ynetic needs its $89,000 yearly taxpayer stipend<br /><br />BTW, there is a Target at Skyline, 5 minutes from Shirlington.<br /><br />Shopping plazas across King Street from the Skyline Target are full of shoppers from moderate-income households. Shopping plaza in Arlington on S. Glebe Road is full of moderate income shoppers.<br /><br />Our lives are increasingly controlled by greedy non-resident pigs who are out to make as much $$$ as they can, at our expense.fairgrrlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-76461454294390099682011-09-13T08:55:32.408-04:002011-09-13T08:55:32.408-04:00Sears at Landmark, Target at Potomac Yards and Cos...Sears at Landmark, Target at Potomac Yards and Costco in Pentagon City are all targeted for mixed use redevelopments in schemes that dwarf Shirlington Village and will displace those stores.
