So the tool to tell the county about trees works. (or someone called it in)

Yes! A large tree fell across the Bluemont trail between the entrance from 5th St N (i.e., where you now have to enter/exit due to the construction) and W&OD. It is a "double" tree and definitely...

Those were the signs that were being installed Monday morning by whomever was doing the installation of the signs. Ball point pen and all.

Arlington County has added a lighted sign to the west side of N. Quincy St just south of Wilson Blvd, next to the apartment building with Taco Bamba and Lebanese Taverna on the ground level. It...

Bluemont trail was being closed between Jefferson and Kensington Sts this morning (or maybe further from Kensington to W&OD – they were not yet done setting up closure). The signs at Jefferson were...

Well done! I knew it had to be something that changed and along a long trail (the number was too high on the marker for most trails).

Another clue might be when since you claim it is from the archives and house colors change as do shrubbery, tree cover, etc. So, when was the photo?

The Rosslyn Monolith was showing counts today!

Thank you for posting this. I am very unhappy. It is astronomically incorrect and, as an early riser, very depressing. I have written to my Representative to request a no vote when it gets to the...

4MRT updates noted this morning (all in the area that overlaps with W&OD, so many might not have noticed the issues):
1. The ford just north of the Arlington Mill Community Center (near the stairs)...

Even if you were, please keep doing it! With little ability to travel, this is the next best thing. We are able to get to know NYC and Madrid (and surrounding areas) a little bit more. And,...

Rode an Arlington Loop this morning with 4MRT instead of W&OD where they overlap. Generally clear, but a couple of trouble spots:
Custis:
* I-66 Glebe exit overpass was frozen melt, i.e., smoother...

Pre-treatment is occurring on Arlington trails. Around 8 am I noticed a LOT of salt on the Washington Blvd trail (the one between Rt 50 and Towers Park), it almost felt like riding on gravel. Around...

Trek Clarendon (formerly Revolution) and Spokes Ballston are the two LBSs I use. Yes, they are near each other, but there are reasons and times to go to each one. Having them both be fully Trek does...

Rode an Arlington Loop today (and Tuesday), with 4MRT instead of W&OD where I could. Today was much improved over Tuesday, although all bridges still an issue.
Trollheim: Someone (or multiple...

Custis, Ballston connector and Bluemont were basically clear this morning (1/10). The bike lanes on Fairfax Dr and Quincy were basically clear except for a few areas where slush froze too much and a...

Yesterday’s warm temperatures helped to melt the frozen slush patches on the Custis. There are a few left, but generally easy to get around. And the plowing went to the East Falls Church station...

Custis (at least some portions, but I assume all) was plowed, but lots of areas with frozen slush patches (where people walked before it was plowed), some on slopes, like western side of George Mason...

Happy New Year!

We had quite a bit of snow yesterday and there is a fair bit of melting today despite being barely above freezing. Anyone know if trails have been plowed, if there is a lot of melt...

Excellent! Thank you, Henry.

Does anyone know the status of the counter in Rosslyn? It hasn't been working for several weeks (month?). I see a few green lights near the bottom, so it looks like it is getting power. It is just...

Early this morning (I gather they were placed sometime yesterday as they weren’t there yesterday morning) there were trail closed and detour signs around the Ballston Connector from the Custis and at...

So the project to re-pave the Bluemont Trail (not the bit between Bluemont and Wilson as I think many were discussing above) has started in earnest today (there were "trail closed" signs all last...

This year I have noticed that in the morning there are a lot more ninja pedestrians and cyclists on Custis and the MVT than there used to be. No lights or reflective bits, in fact, usually wearing...

???But drivers are asked to do it all the time for all the other detours they do. And they completely closed the road through the park for a similar length of time. Grrr.
