Improving that connection is key. It could allow us to close the <A HREF="http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=1000" REL="nofollow">center leg freeway</A> portion of I-395. If that can happen then thru traffic will have a better alternative than New York Avenue to I-395 to pass through the city.<BR/><BR/>Re: Rosslyn. I've worked their for 7 years. It's far more lively than it's ever been. I'm surprised you didn't see signs of life at 1550 Wilson with Piola and Cafe Asia. Rosslyn still needs a few more residential projects and restaurants to arrive to further it's goal of being a 18 hour community but it's come along way from being solely an office ghetto.FourthandEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01375066623120413156noreply@blogger.com
