from its legal requirement to provide a sidewalk as part of the current
upgrade to their facilities.  It further appears they are not offering an
equal value counter-offer.    That is newsworthy !

I will forward this note to them but I would strongly recommend you also
phone the Mt Vernon Gazette
http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/contactus_editorial.asp

and the Mount Vernon Voice.

I will also contact other Bike/Ped advocates to see if others are available.

[Kevin Brugman] I think it's  important to remember that after the Wilson
Bridge is finished the Bike/Pedestrian crossing Trail will start on the East
side of  Rte 1.  Ft Hunt traffic is too heavy to have young children on
their bicycles and pedestrians criss-crossing from side to side to get to
the new beltway crossing.

I am out of town next week and cannot attend this meeting.  I recognize
that the land drops off to the south of the current entrance to the Club
but I think it is very very important to insist on a sidewalk of some
type along the Club side of Ft. Hunt Road.  The waiver sought by the
Club will end this option forever.  Whether the adjacent neighborhoods
fully recognize it or not, they need this option for walking to the
Metro or to the shopping center.  I hope that some of you can go and
express this position.  Diane Donley, P&Z Chair, MVCCA
