The McLean Citizens Association urges concerned residents to attend, but hopes they will listen to the pros and cons of extending the HOT Lanes. Unfortunately, at the MCA's meeting, a number of people just did not want to listen and made a number of false statements. We neither support nor oppose the extension at this time. I also respect those who don't like the HOT Lane concept and those who feel very frustrated with government. But claiming the HOT Lanes extension will increase traffic on Georgetown Pike is simply wrong when the extension prevents ingress to, and egress from, the Pike. Let's debate the real issues.

]]> Comment on Committments kept – Lane of traffic returns on 123 (Tysons Corner) by Rob Jackson http://agentknowstysonscorner.com/2009/11/20/committments-kept-lane-of-traffic-returns-on-123-tysons-corner/#comment-3 Rob Jackson Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:39:05 +0000 http://wu.realty-buzz.com/?p=248#comment-3 Jeff, This is, indeed, both good news and a promise kept. VDOT promised to open all lanes on Route 123 for the 2009 holiday season. After a rocky start, VDOT has established extremely good communications with the McLean area businesses and residents. Keep in mind, however, that the same two lanes will again close in January and will remain closed until all the major construction is done. And, of course, construction problems for all would be less had the Commonwealth and Fairfax County insisted on a tunnel for Tysons. Rob Jackson, President McLean Citizens Association Jeff,
