My Side of the Fence

The danger isn't going too far. It's that we don't go far enough.

I love to bicycle but

teenage drivers and other drivers that don’t pay attention are really dangerous.  The County has some great trails and those are really easy to use but Manassas has a very limited selection of trails so you usually end up riding on the road.  People pull up next to you and scream at you, they swerve at you and they think it is funny as all get out.  I haven’t had anything thrown at me but it’s a matter of time.  The offenders are usually teenagers.  My own personal nemesis is a blonde teenage girl over in wellington who drives a blue convertible mini cooper.  She screams “sidewalk” at me everytime she sees me.  Sooner or later, I’ll get her tag number and turn it over to the PD.  They’ll go talk to her but that’s about it.  People of all ages talking or texting are a close second.  It is very frustrating.

Meeting Update

Last night, the Council took the following actions:

 1.  We referred the Fire and Rescue conceptual plan to the City staff in order to get an ordinance drafted.  That’s supposed to come back by the middle of September.

2.  We directed the staff to continue moving forward on the RR crossing improvements so that the RR “quiet zones” would continue.

3.  Gave a “sense of the Council” to public works staff to keep moving forward on several road projects.  Several of these are being timed to go off at the same time as the Rt. 28 overpass and at least one – south of town on Rt. 234 isn’t associated at all but it looks like hell so we green lighted a reduced project there to clean it up some.
