Oppose HOT-Lane Extension Inside the D. C. Beltway!
Sign Now
BACKGROUND: Virginia residents in counties/cities inside Interstate
Route 495 (the "beltway" serving the Washington, D. C., region) along
the I-395 corridor are awakening to the prospect that their safety,
quality of life, property values, and taxation will be adversely
affected by the proposed creation of a high-occupancy toll (HOT) lane
stretching miles from south of the beltway toward the District of
Columbia. This public-interest petition echoes those residents'
concerns about, and objections to, the HOT lane project, seeking all
available remedy from pertinent government officials.
TEXT OF THE PETITION:
(1) Whereas, the construction/operation of the proposed HOT lane has
the potential for far more negative attributes than positive ones;
(2) Whereas, the affected residents deserve full, prompt deference
from officialdom in the resolution of their concerns and apprehension
in this matter;
(3) Whereas, the several jurisdictions/communities most at risk of
incurring burdensome consequences from the proposed project expect and deserve adequate official transparency and fair-minded interaction from the various authorities assigned to planning,
executing, and overseeing the project; and
(4) Whereas, this petition serves as a formal instrument for
expressing our collective grievance, and for seeking its redress --
We, the undersigned, do hereby call upon our key elected and appointed officials to join (and help sustain) our opposition to the project as conceived and designed.

I don't see the need for the proposed construction of a "new" Shirlington Circle. It seems to me that the new BRAC location on Seminary Road would be a more logical place for this type of project. That is where the concentrated new employment is going to

Shirlington Circle could use one or two simple modifications but traffic is not excessive enough or the circle too unnavigable to require a complete revamping of it. This is definite overkill for something that really requires simple solutions.

Special Lanes built for the rich. And profits go to private companies. We can do better.

The area is too small, too much disruption and too historical to suffer this. I will note vote for any elected official who supports this.

This is not a viable solution for the problem. More research needs to be done on HOT lanes.
