Approximately ten people attended the Civic Association meeting on Monday evening 2 May at Randolph Elementary. The primary topic was a discussion of the Arlington 2017-2026 Transportation Development Plan (TDP).
Although numerous changes and improvements have been made to the TDP over the past few months, the plan continues to fall significantly short of addressing transit needs in Douglas Park and the Pike corridor in terms of adequate capacity, larger buses, and improvements to boarding systems and waiting areas to increase the efficiency of the lines. There are still two opportunities
to provide feedback to the County Board before final approval: The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) hearing on Wednesday 22 June and the County Board meeting on 19 July. Learn more here.
