Funding of Pedestrian/Bike Bridges

Editorial: Fairfax County is both a taxing authority and tax deductible entity as all government entities are tax deductible!!!!!Motivated bikers and pedestrian could make a donations to a special fund with Fairfax County transportation. This fund needs to be both embezzlement and diversion proof.This mean Fairfax can not divert or borrow from the fund for any purpose. It should clearly set up so that any diversion or borrowing results in an immediate arrest. Developers need to make tax deductible donations. The bridges from Metro Park to Shoppers mall to Lane Elementary to Windsor Estates and the one crossing the metro RR from Barry rd to Springfield will create a nice continuous economic stimulus the will provide a continuous multiplier effect. A similar bridge crossing Beulah RD from Wegmans is necessary. The bridge in the photo is the one that crosses 95. These bridges will cause safe transit for bikers and pedestrians . People complain no funds are available. Tax deductible donations by bikers and pedestrian enthusiasts and developer contributions are the answer. Mixed use is happening; we need safe transit for bikers and pedestrians. This includes an extension of the bike path North and South of the RR where it intersects Barry Road.!!!!!!

Land Use Committee Approved Springfield Mall Development

At the last meeting of the Land Use Committee, development of the Springfield Mall was approved!!!!Editorial: Mixed use is coming and this is what is going to get us out of the on coming depression!!!!Mixed use creates both jobs and wealth. Development of Windsor Estates as mixed use will also create wealth and jobs. Additionally, metro needs to be extended from Fort Belvoir to Springfield to Tyson's Corner to Dulles. VRE needs to be extended to Thornburg, Mineral,Louisa, and Beaver Dam. Low Cost High Speed Internet with good upload and down load capability for Rural America will jump start rural America and be a continuous economic multiplier effect.Despite good intentions, the current economic expenditure will not succeed. It is like a cup of strong coffee; it jolts the body temporarily but has no nutritional value. Only mixed use development,extension of from Fort Belvoir to Dulles, expansion of VRE and affordable high speed internet to rural America will provide the continuous economic multiplier effect!!!!!!!

Editorial:Extension of Frontier Drive to Springfield Center Dr to Loisdale Rd

Editorial: Springfield is exploding with mixed use development. In order to make traffic move smoothly, Frontier Drive needs to be extended to Springfield Center Dr. to Loisdale Rd. The extension will provide a much needed loop. However, the metro needs to be extended from Fort Belvoir to Springfield to Tysons, to Dulles. The Springfield area will eventually dwarf Tyson's Corner in mixed use development. The development of Windsor Estates will do several economic objectives; greater use of land,create jobs, create wealth for the land owners of Windsor Estates and more tax revenue for Fairfax County. This development would dwarf Tyson's Corner. Currently, Windsor Estates has more transportation options than Tyson's Corner.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Editorial: Need of a large bike Bridge over the RR tracks of the Springfield Transportation USA

Editorial: We also need to promote a second bridge for bikes and passenger connecting the Barry Road to the other side of the Springfield Transportation Center. Additionally a bike bath parallel to the railroad track needs to be developed. The bridge should be the equivalent of the bike passenger bridge that goes over rt 95. The idea is to have bike traffic that currently goes to the transportation center and then could go through and connect to the bridge that goes over rt 95.
