2015 City of Alexandria Primary

I have not seen anything about a questionnaire (though I recall some mention of that at BPAC) or responses.

Personally my priority is defeating Ms Silberberg, who seems to be aligned with the elements in the City (like the OTCA) which are most hostile to biking, as well as being generally hostile the kinds of urbanist changes I believe the City needs.

My understanding is that Jonathan Krall supports Mr Donley, primarily because the City under Mayor Euille backed off the Royal Street Bike Boulevard, under NIMBY pressure. Personally I am less concerned about Royal Street – while I think it was a good project, there are many higher priority items across the City – and yes, some deference to NIMBYs is probably inevitable – that the City went ahead with the King Street lanes, is advancing lanes elsewhere (even looking at cycle tracks) is moving ahead with the Bike Ped Master Plan, restored CaBi funding, etc is impressive to me. As is the broader commitment to an urbanist vision for the City. I also fear splitting the pro-urbanist vote, and I believe Mayor Euille serves to unite a diverse city. So at this point, unless I hear something VERY compelling as a reason to vote for Donley, i intend to vote for Euille.
