1. Community Meeting: Rail on the Woodrow Wilson Bridge & Alexandria’s Transit Future
7 - 8:30 PM, Thursday, May 11, 2006
George Washington Middle School (cafeteria), 1005 Mt Vernon Ave, Alexandria
Metro: Braddock Road Metro Station [Yellow/Blue Lines]

The new Woodrow Wilson Bridge is engineered to accommodate Metrorail. Adding rail would connect the Yellow Line in Virginia with the Green Line in Maryland. But it’s not a done deal yet. Without rail, Old Town Alexandria neighborhoods could face gridlock as additional traffic from the expanded bridge crowds the narrow streets.

What could rail mean for Alexandria residents concerned about traffic, air pollution, and the rising cost of gasoline? With new studies ahead, now is the time to make your voice heard. Read more about this campaign.
