Most of these stimulus dollars have been allocated for Transportaiton projects to include: Extension of Fairfax County Parkway, Failakes Interchange, and General Paving.

Separating Fair Lakes Parkway from FFX Pkwy is a good idea. I hate that intersection.

+1. That place is a mess during rush hour. Maybe they could spend a few bucks and sync up the lights on the Parkway where it crosses over the Dulles Access Road. Anything has got to be better than what it is now. It can take 10 minutes to go from the Spring Street light to Sunrise Valley.

Isn't the parkway supposed to go through Fort Belvoir when it is finished?

On the news, it was reported that the parkway would be completed to Ft Belvoir with the stimulus money.
How many offices actually moved to Ft Belvoir? I heard some decided to stay in Crystal City and Arlington - is that true?

Fairfax County Parkway is the devil. That road sucks, and the lights are WAAAAY too long.

Being vague is almost as fun as that other thing.

Perhaps getting rid of the lights would be another use. It has done WONDERS for 28!
