In general, I’m in agreement with staff comments about overhangs and do have concerns about the effect on streetscapes. I’m particularly concerned about the transition to Gateway Park and agree that the architecure should reflect the approach of the adjacent buildings. In terms of height, less density on the NW Tower would provide more dramatic transition with S. Tower. The landscaping on the 6th floor podium looks great; can we get a view of how that would look to pedestrians on the street?
ReplyAgree13 days agoThe massing, overhangs, streetwall, and heights are entirely inappropriate. The "to-the-line" development in Rossyln needs to be haulted immediately as it is impairing the health, safety, and general welfare of residents. For going on 5 years, over 3,000 feet of sidewalk have been rendered inaccessible by development projects forcing dangerous walking conditions around Rossyln. This proposed site plan will make that situation much, much worse.

Having lived on the opposite side of Langston Blvd for 26 years and navigated with trepidation the known hazards of the intersection of eastbound Langston Blvd with N. Fort Myer Dr. in order to use the Metro, I would plead earnestly that the developer build a pedestrian bridge, perhaps as a community benefit, to enable safe pedestrian access to downtown Rosslyn from the neighborhoods abutting westbound Langston Blvd. This would be important for prospective users of a renewed Gateway Park, also.

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.

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.
