On the article Set-Asides for Affordable Housing, Open Space Eliminated Due to 'Miscommunication'

I was at the meeting last night and the issue of the set-asides was not discussed. I believe they will pick it back up at the June public hearing when the ordinance is scheduled to be codified.

Thanks for the comment, Dave. This is an interesting article from earlier this year about some BRT's that haven't succeeded: http://www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2013/03/limits-bus-rapid-transit-cape-town-case-study/4968/

The BRT will have a stop near the Potomac Yard Metro station, if the station is approved. Planners have yet to decide where the PY Metro station will be located. As it stands, the BRT route will cut between Route 1 and Potomac Avenue on E. Glebe Road in mixed traffic, presumably to link up near the Potomac Yard Metro stop before continuing north into Crystal City.

You're right. An oversight on my part. Planning Commission has approval authority on subdivisions of land and site plans, which is the entirely of this proposal. I'll make the edit. Thanks for pointing this out.

Why should I have not included a link to the report? It's timely news about the company. I felt it was worth sharing.
For what it's worth, I recently picked up an annual membership with Capital Bikeshare because of issues with Metro when I travel into the District. And I wrote a column last year arguing that bikeshare is a good fit for Alexandria: http://patch.com/A-xr0f
