What a bunch of pu$$ies.
I-66 “expansion” is to enlarge the road to 3 - OMG - 3 lanes over the 2 that Arlington County demanded when the highway was built in the early sixties. They thought 3 lanes would bring in too much traffic — not kidding.
Meanwhile, auto fumes from the perpetual traffic jam have clearly turned bicycle advocates into utter fools. I’ve ridden along there plenty and this is just stupid.
It’s much worse than you realize. They are not going to expand from 2 to 3 lanes in Arlington County. Instead they will add lanes outside the beltway that will funnel even more traffic into the 2 lanes. I realize there’s already a bike path along 66 inside of Ballston, and that is mainly outside the wall and is staying there.
