County Board Set to Pass Pike Trolley Folly Funding

Arlington County Emperor of Transportation Chris Zimmerman is bringing his Columbia Pike trolley folly before the County Board for preliminary design funding at the March 14th County Board meeting. Agenda Item 27. This is your your opportunity to speak out against Guru of Gridlock Zimmerman's irrational use of scarce transportation dollars to install an inefficient and expensive light rail system on an existing right-of-way that is unsuitable for light rail.

Zimmerman's County Board approved the totally idiotic Pike trolley aka streetcar. The construction costs alone will be outrageous.

Chris Zimmerman is a racist who wants every poor, black, and brown person gentrified out of the Pike corridor.

County Board is hiking the decal fee to pay for the trolley folly.

All the County Board cares about is more dumb projects that benefit the CB, CB Members' friends, and special interests the CB likes, no matter how stupid.

Yupette, how about a thread about the County's ridiculous budget 'priorities'?

County Board is the visible part of a mean political machine that threatens to close nature centers and branch libraries to fund its pet projects. Would the Republicans be worse? Probably. All their pet projects would involve law enforcement.

Don't forget the County Board's pet people who will come out and support anything. Also the County's PR office that's spending several million each year making the County Board look good no matter how inane its proposals.
