Grocery Access & Food Desert Concerns Rosslyn remains a food desert, and increasing access to grocery options is crucial for residents. While we acknowledge the challenges of attracting grocery stores due to location constraints, we strongly encourage developers to incorporate alternative solutions to improve food accessibility. Ideally, a Trader Joe’s or similar grocery option would be a significant community asset.

Traffic & Pedestrian Safety Safe traffic flow and pedestrian crossings must be a priority in this development. We urge the developer, Arlington County, and the Virginia Department of Transportation to design and implement safe, efficient intersection crossings along both the east and west lanes of Langston Boulevard. Additionally, we support the decision not to replace the pedestrian bridge over the eastbound lane of Langston Boulevard, as safer at-grade crossings should be prioritized.
Public Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Publicly accessible EV charging infrastructure in Rosslyn is extremely limited. We urge the developer to incorporate EV charging stations as a community benefit, particularly in designated on-street parking areas, to support sustainable transportation options.
Bus & Truck Traffic Concerns We have concerns regarding the impact of bus and truck traffic in the area, particularly: o The planned bus exit onto Langston Boulevard and how it will affect traffic flow. o The narrow configuration of North Moore Street and potential congestion issues. o The potential safety and logistical challenges posed by trucks backing out of the Rosslyn City Center (RCA) loading zone onto North Moore Street.

I support the proposed bike lanes and cycle tracks as outlined in the plan. I think these will help further connect this area with the surrounding and existing facilities that enable scooter and cyclist circulation and get more drivers out of their cars. The sidewalk widths are appropriate for the building type and the highly walkable area where this building is located, especially with easy nearby Metro rail access.
