Ken,
In response to your questions:
– The Capital Bike Share issue in Alexandria is purely a budget issue for operating funds. Alexandria has grants for the purchase and installation of 16 new stations with bikes and the supply chain issues from last year have been resolved. We aer asking our City Council to allocate funds to subsidize CaBi the operations at an estimnated cost of in Alexandria of about $10,000 per station.
– The next Alexandria BPAC meeting is Monday, March 16th at 7 PM at the Durant Center, 1605 Cameron Street, Alexandria, VA. Good line-up of topics; we hope to see you there.
Thanks!
Jim

On Monday, February 24th, the City’s Traffic and Parking Board voted 5-2 to recommend delay; the next step is a decision by City Council on March 15th. More about Monday night’s hearing here: http://www.waba.org/blog/2014/02/alexandria-board-recommends-delay-of-plan-to-calm-traffic-on-king-street/. We need to show our elected leaders that this measure has broad support in Alexandria, and across Northern Virginia. Appreciate your taking a minute to sign the WABA petition and forward to friends in our area. http://org.salsalabs.com/o/451/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14993
