Today I biked by to see it might be open yet. They aren’t doing any work near the sidewalk that would even require it to be closed, but its closed nonetheless. They have the fence out into the street, which, if it weren’t blocked off by another fence, would actually be enough room to ride. I wonder if the company who is doing this building project, and will profit handsomely from it, has given Arlingtonians any compensation specifically for lost sidewalk and bike route access. Developers are constantly screwing up the roads with horribly patched holes they have dug, taking away our sidewalks we pay for through our tax dollars, and polluting the local environment we live in. I don’t think they give enough back to the community for what they do to it.
