Military Rd. Lee Hwy., & Old Dominion, Arlington, VA - Old DiminionEach morning before dawn, weekdays & weekends, the attendants at the Exxon & Liberty gas stations get out their leaf blowers. They use them for as much as an hour at a time, violating county noise ordinances for that time of day and blowing trash into our neighborhood streets.

Dangerous Merge OpenS Washington Blvd & U.S. 50 Arlington, VA 22204, USA - ArlingtonDrivers coming off of Route 50 merging onto Washington Blvd going south routinely ignore, at high speeds, the two very large yield signs alerting them that traffic is also trying to merge OFF of Washington Blvd to get onto S. Courthouse Rd. There needs to be oversized STOP signs for the drivers coming off of Route 50 before there's a serious accident. Greater enforcement of the required yield from Arlington police could send a clear message as well.

2038-2048 Wilson Blvd Arlington, VA 22201, USA - Colonial VillageThe ever present panhandlers loitering the Courthouse Metro stop have become increasingly more aggressive lately. They seem to be younger too. Today I watched a man pursue an elderly woman in a deliberately threatening manner while panhandling. Clearly she was victimized for her demographic, as another person engaged in a similar manner may have been justified to react physically. This needs to be cleaned up ASAP.

Crosswalk Markings Open951-999 15th St S Arlington, VA 22202, USA - Aurora HighlandsThere are no crosswalk markings for the service road to Pentagon Row. The intersection needs to be improved for pedestrian safety.
-
4150 S Four Mile Run Dr Arlington, VA - ClaremontThe light at the intersection of the DMV entrance and Four Mile Run is mistimed. It runs red when there is no cross traffic and stays long, holding up traffic on the main roads. I live in this area and pass this light several times a day and rarely do I come upon it when it's green. I can understand if there is a great deal of traffic going in and out of the DMV entrance, but this happens even when the DMV is not open and has been getting worse in the last year. Combined with the light at the Barcroft Rec center just 2 blocks down the street makes a very short distance a very long drive.
-
Sycamore And Lee Highway Arlington, VA - Arlington-East FallsThis intersection is a nightmare in the mornings. Cars turning onto Lee Highway from Sycamore regularly fail to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk
-
Intersection Needs a Turning Light ArchivedS Arlington Ridge Rd Arlington, VA - Long Branch CreekThe intersection at Arlington Ridge Road and Glebe Road backs up in the morning and the afternoons. I think that you need to add a left turn light for traffic turning left onto Glebe towards 395 in the mornings -- and for traffic turning left onto Glebe towards Route 1 in the evenings. The backups for turning vehicles are bad and sometimes I have to wait through three cycles to be able to turn.

28th Street South Arlington, VA - Long Branch CreekArlington Public Works dung up 28th Street South, from about the 3-way stop where 28th Street and South Meade Street intersection to where 26th and 28th Streets intersect at the 4-way stop. The road was under considerable construction for the majority of August and it looks like Arlington County just fix the water main under the street and said screw it and it neglected to repave the road. The road, since August, has been a continuous strip of dips and bumps, a road unfavorable to drive on if your car is anything but a SUV. The meager job forces those driving on the side with all the dips and bumps to drive half in the other lane to save their suspension. This will only lead a car accident for someone not paying attention, and it is only a matter of time before this happens. This road needs to be restored to its original or vastly improved state. I thank god that I don’t own in Arlington County, otherwise I would be at every town hall meeting.

Road Pavement Condition Unsat ArchivedKing Street (Route 7) Between 395 And Walter Reed Drive Alexandria, Virginia - Alexandria WrestOn Route 7, King Street between 395 and Walter Reed Drive the road condition is terrible. Just a little further west on this road one side of the street was repaved recently but the portion of the road that I mentioned is in even worse condition.
-
Speeding traffic / No sidewalks Archived12th St S Arlington, VA - Douglas ParkThis street is a major cut through but there are no sidewalks for pedestrians. Because of speeding vehicle traffic, it isn't safe for foot traffic. Speed bumps are needed to slow down traffic and sidewalks are needed for the safety of the people walking.
-
Lane ends without warning ArchivedS Washington Blvd Arlington, VA 22204, USA - Foxcroft HeightsLeft lane gets slightly wider than markings simply stop forcing a sudden merge with adjacent lane on a curve. There are two signs but vehicles entering from I-395 south don't see these warnings. These drivers may be seeking same lane as those coming from I-395 north if they are not heading east on Columbia Pike.
-
N. Pollard St. And Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA - Ballston-Virginia SquareThere is high pedestrian traffic at this intersection, but no pedestrian safety measures. A stoplight with pedestrian signals would dramatically improve pedestrian safety at this intersection. At the very least, signs telling cars to stop for pedestrians would help. The intersection is also unsafe for drivers attempting to turn left from Pollard to Wilson, as the Wilson traffic is often speeding and the road curves there, harming visibility.
