Alexandria, VA – Alexandria is among many jurisdictions embracing the Complete Streets approach, which involves designing and operating streets to support safe, efficient, and comfortable travel for all users. While some celebrate this approach’s benefits, residents concerned about lane reductions, traffic disruptions, and its impact on drivers have opposed it.
Agenda Alexandria will host a discussion on this topic on Monday, March 24, at 7 p.m. at the Lyceum (201 S. Washington St.). There will be a reception at 6:30 p.m. Rod Kuckro, Agenda Alexandria Board Member, will moderate.
Panelists:
– Alex Carroll – Program Manager, City of Alexandria Complete Streets
– Carter Flemming – Chair, Alexandria Federation of Civic Associations
– Kanti Srikanth – Deputy Executive Director, Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments
