I don't need any more highways and interstate traffic congestion followed by 5 years of highway and interstate widening followed by more traffic congestion 5 years later. Go Greens.

The state of "transportation" in the I-66 / Rt 29 corridor is something only auto dealers and VDOT planners could love.

I am tired of our transportation policy benefiting urban in-fill and outer suburb sprawl developers and auto dealers. Wake up Virginians, in 50 years there won't be any agriculture or forests left for your kids and grandkids. Something has GOT to be done about the population growth of the United States. We cannot go on adding 3.0-3.5 million to the U.S. population every year without major environmental consequences in only a few decades.

Do the parents who live in Arlington's I-66 corridor realize how many schools are located next to I-66? Washington-Lee HS, Arlington Traditional School, and Swanson Middle School are three.

Save Arlington. Dump Fisette.

Go Greens. Yes, the region is run by developers and auto dealers. What have these pirates done for us? Most of them live in McMansions in the outer suburbs.

I have a 2-year old and a 4-year old. The people who run Virginia and who want to run Virginia don't give a rat's ass about anything besides exploitation of people, the environment, anything, everything.

What's the difference between I-270 near Rockville at 5 PM and I-395 near Shirlington at 5 PM weekdays?

I 270 has 6 outbound lanes bumper-to-bumper, stop-and-go with 1 HOV lane. I-395 has 6 outbound lanes bumper-to-bumper stop-and-go with 2 HOV lanes.

So in 2020 we will have 8 lanes outbound bumper-to-bumper on 395 in Shirlington at 5 PM. Plus 395 and 95 will be toll roads. Thanks to the Republicrats.

Did someone mention Jeb Bush? McDonnell will sell or contract out everything the state owns to his campaign contributors and friends. They will be out to make as much as they can get and the quality of the services the State will provide will go to hell. Happened in Florida while Jeb was Governor.

Saw the Greens announce the lawsuit today via the Internet. I'm voting for Reeder for County Board.
