Comment on DRAFT LETTER TO ARLINGTON’S SCHOOL BOARD — YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE by Avis Collins Robinson

I know that the due date has passed, but I wanted to say that Eugene and I agree with your position. We need Green space in our neighborhood. There is no reason to have a elementary school on this site.

Is the market only for produce or are you accepting craft vendors as well?

[...] Goblins, Ghouls and Politicians in Westover — On Saturday afternoon, the Westover neighborhood will host its own version of a candidates forum. But instead of speeches and debate, the candidates are instead invited to hang out at the Westover beer garden (5863 N. Washington Blvd) and meet and greet votes. The candidate event will take place between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m., and will be followed by the annual Westover Halloween Parade. [TLHCA Blog] [...]

Comment on PROPOSED SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS FOR GEORGE MASON DR. by Paula D

About a year ago, I contacted the county about my concerns with the hospital entrance. On several occasions, I have had to wait at least 1 traffic light cycle to turn left into the hospital due to north bound traffic on George Mason Drive. This is especially trying when you have an injured or ill person in the car and you’re trying to safely and quickly get to the emergency room

The crosswalk at George Mason Drive and N. 22nd Street (near George Mason Post Office) needs to be moved and re-striped. The crosswalk should be moved north or south so that it intersects the grassy median to provide a safe refuge/island for pedestrians trying to cross this busy 4-lane speedway. At rush hour especially, but at all times of the day, cars speed in both directions on George Mason Drive. Due to the angles of the road surfaces, the existing crosswalk is not visible to drivers as they approach it, thus they have no signal that they need to slow down. I cross this intersection several times a week, and often I have to run to avoid being hit.

Comment on FREE TREES — ARLINGTON’S TREE CANOPY FUND by Andrea

Would love to participate! The website says each civic association needs a leader to put in the tree requests for their neighborhood. Is there anyone handling this for tara leeway heights? Would be happy to volunteer if not. It would be a shame not to take advantage of this offer.

Long live Westover Market Beer Garden

Hey Burt -

My guess is that the the Beer Garden takes cash only because the cost of accepting credit cards is high and the cost to install a dedicated phone line outside for credit cards is also expensive. The line to order and pay on weekends can be quite long – cash is much faster to deal with than credit cards and is much cheaper – it has nothing to do with taxes.

And thanks for your understanding on small family/locally run businesses…they are tough to run and tough to make and keep profitable! We love them – and want to keep them growing in Arlington!

Hello. My name is George. I like the fire hydrant at the bear garden and that hot chick band that plays there on the last Thursday of every month.
