Safety and sense of place

For me, the project is all about increasing pedestrian safety and creating a greater sense of place here in East Arlington.

There is just no way to accomplish those dual goals by keeping the 4-lane freeway we have now.

As a car driver, I know that there just isn't the level of traffic heading toward Arlington Center that needs 2 lanes.

An occasional minor inconvenience is a very small price to pay for increasing safety.
