I wasn’t successful, for reasons described below. I think the fact the lights are still there is like a function of the other workload of the staff.

I learned that the flashing lights were on loan from a vendor for the test period and have to be returned. I am hoping at the conclusion of the environmental assessment, a decision to purchase those or similar lights will be made and we will have flashing lights to help us across that crosswalk.

Thanks for following up with them and letting us know. I’m sure your advocacy is a huge help in pushing this in the right direction.

Thanks. I have been dealing with individuals from the NPS GWMP (up to the Deputy Superintendent) since 2012 and I find them accessible, reasonable and professional. The Arlington County staff has good lines of communication with the NPS GWMP as well.

We have to remember that they are getting pulled in a bunch of directions both publicly and politically. I think they understand the issues and are doing their utmost to balance all of their stakeholders.
