    I think you should write back to Jim Smith and call him on that letter. If the Wilson Bridge bike lane getting done was a required part of Prince George’s County’s transportation priorities, it would never have been done. It’s like him redirecting someone to Baltimore City to talk about the Harbor Tunnel in Baltimore. Typically it is something bounced to local levels, but at an interstate junction of a major thoroughfare that nearly straddles three different jurisdictions? Don’t let them off so easy!

    Anyway, I will sign. Ditto on others comments about improving VA side. Maybe our new Governor will do something. Somehow, I doubt it, since NOVA always seems to get ignored.

    I’ll reach out to Jim Smith within the day. Thanks everybody for signing and sharing this.

    FYI – Terry McAuliffe is now the governor of Virginia.

    I know, I know. I am can’t figure out how to make the website show that, but it seems like I cant edit that one area.

    I tried to change Bob McDonnell from the title, but it wont let me.

    I got a letter from the secretary of the Maryland Governor yesterday commending me (us) for the petition. He told me to speak with the representatives in that county so I sent them an email.

    So do you take the Chain Bridge and Chesterbrook now?

    I drive daily. I could do the trip to and from work daily but it would be a little over 50 miles and I don’t know if I could sustain that for too long.

    Signed! Excellent. Agreed!

    But…. traveling north to south, once a cyclist gets into Virginia, where would the cyclist go? There are no bike lanes or paths there, and the roads are not bike friendly, particularly during rush hour.

    Nirvana would be a bike path that follows the beltway.

    I agree.

    I havent thought about that too much though. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there ;)

    Agreed. Done. Signed.

    And I noticed that you can (thankfully) replace the Virginia Governor’s name!

    Yes, I will do that when I get home from work today.

    Sorry, I don’t know how I missed that.
