Bad roads Open

266-310 South Van Dorn Street Alexandria, Virginia - Landmark-Van Dom

The Duke Street west of Landmark Mall is in very poor condition. One lane heading east is milled so badly that it's like driving on cobblestones. This stretch needs re-paving very badly.

Pedestrian Crossing Needs Extended Time Open

1021-1099 First St Alexandria, VA - Northeast

The pedestrian crossing from 1st street over route one is NOT long enough for someone to cross the street and the light turns green immediately. Its VERY dangerous for pedestrians b/c you can't see the cars going north on route one over first street. Please extend the pedestrian crossing time by about 30-45 seconds.

Unnecessary one-way sign Open

806 Slaters Lane Alexandria, VA - Northeast

Residents at apartment complex are unnecessarily forced to always leave to the south, entering a warren of one-way streets and stop lights, instead of being able to make an easy and safe right or left onto Slater's Lane.

  Alexandria City official in email response says the parking lot exit is too close to the RR crossing for anyone to safely exit. He is wrong and has never lived here. Or likely never actually been to the location.

Pedestrians vs. Turning Traffic Open

Taney And North Van Dorn Street Alexandria, Virginia - Seminary Hill

Now that a new cross walk has been installed, pedestrians are crossing both sides of the intersection. Cars fly out of Taney Avenue with no regard for the pedestrians as the walk signal and lights change at the same time. Can walkers please get a head start before someone gets hit? Or worse.

street lights need to blink red until necessary hours Archived

Potomac Ave And Main Line Alexandria, VA - Potomac Yard-Potomac Greens

I'm not sure what hour of the day the lights need to be solid red, but certainly in the early morning and late evening, the lights do not need to be solid red. I understand traffic is changing - when there are cars coming, I'll be happy to sit at a light. For now, I just keep missing the light to get on Hwy 1 going south. Bummer.

  Any news on changing the lights to regulate traffic more efficiently? The situation seems to be getting worse, not better. Now the lights change as if on a timer, instead of when cars are actually waiting to proceed. This weekend I witnessed a person run the light by making a left turn from the right turn lane while the rest of us waited for the light to change (without any traffic coming the other way). This could be avoided by having the lights blink red as a 4-way stop. Please help us get where we're going safely and efficiently!

  The light seems to be worse, staying red even when no cars are approaching in cross traffic. Having driven through the intersection at all hours of the day, I've never seen traffic that warrants more than a 4-way stop anytime. Please make our lives easier until traffic warrants a solid red light!

  Monday I called 703.746.4747 (Alexandria T&ES) and referenced my ticket number in a voicemail. Tuesday, Jim Neurohr called me and was incredibly courteous and helpful.
  
  Jim, thanks so much for your prompt reply and for being willing to take a look at the issue for us!!!
  
  Here's a summary of the results: The lights were adjusted during flooding on Hwy 1 a while back, when much more traffic than usual was routed down Potomac Ave. The lights were not adjusted back after the reroute ended. Jim's technicians have readjusted the timers and the traffic cams, and we should notice a difference TODAY. (Hooray!)
  
  Next Monday, I'll give Bob Garbacz a call (when he's back in the office) and see if we can get the lights to blink red at night when traffic is sooooo light...
  
  Please continue to follow this post and make comments as you see fit!

Bricks on edge of Tree Well Open

521 North Pitt Street Alexandria, Virginia - Old Town

The bricks on the edge of the tree well are giving way, wobbling, and could be harmful if someone were to step on them. A twisted or broken ankle could be the result of someone walking on these bricks.
