General disrepair

2300 block of North Kentucky (near 2321)

Lighted lot poorly maintained, debris, tall grass. Weeds on fence

Back lot of gas station on Lee Hwy (Pure station)

All trees removed - dozens of trucks, garage debris, etc.

Corner of Lexington and N 26th St house

The house is nearly hidden by overgrowth and vegetation

Lee Center Park

Gate in SE corner doesn't close

2201 N Illinois

Disrepair

Post Office on George Mason

Peeling paint, walls. No landscaping

Corner of Quantico & 23rd

Large, old trees over sidewalks need tree maintenance (large dead branches could fall)

No address on property. It is on 22nd St between 6101 and 6113 bike path (J. Marshall)

This property is a disgrace to the neighborhood. The lawn is filled with trash - old lawnmowers, broken chairs, broken exercise machine, plastic bins, traffic cones, pile of wood, etc. The porch is also filled with more of the same. The grass is usuall

2 homes on 23rd St between Lexington & Madison St

2 homes are very run down; have seen rodents around them

22nd St

Needs repair

6105 N 22nd St

A junkyard residence. A real eyesore and a health/safety hazard. What gives here?

Property on NW corner of Lee Hwy and Nottingham

Evergreen shrubs obscure vision of traffic going east on Lee Hwy. Also impedes pedestrian traffic

6105 N 22nd St

Wholesale clean up of property - especially outdoors

    • Many additional properties listed individually

    • Sidewalk comments were captured under other questions as they do not represent properties in disrepair.



II.8. What other improvements do you think are needed—or desired—in the Leeway Overlee neighborhood conservation area?

Responses:


- Demanding that the Virginia Power hire better qualified tree firms to "trim" tree limbs near power lines
- "Retreeing" neighborhoods

1. County should invest in greenway strip by acquiring adjacent residences as they become available.
2. Stop light or traffic calming at Lee Hwy and Quantico and Lee Hwy and John Marshall'

1. Underground wires
2. More reliable power (outages frequent in less few years)
3. Water runoff - 22nd Road North has no sidewalks or sewers. Water from that street runs down 22nd Rd (hill) to Illinois, flows north to sewer at Illinois & 23rd Street - a very long distance. It mixes with Illinois and 23rd St North - too much H2O

Add a traffic calming speed hump between 22nd RD N and Patrick Henry on Harrison St

Add sidewalks to North Madison to narrow street from 22nd St. to Lee Hwy will slow traffic as well as making safe walking streets.

Advise neighbors who plant trees in public strip by sidewalk about regulations in planting vegetation in public areas. Many plantings are not suitable for planting at the curb.

All street lights should be upgraded to brighter & more energy efficient sodium vapor lights

Better street lighting. It is a high traffic area & since there are not always sidewalks on these streets - VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEDESTRIANS. More lights & sidewalks!

Calming - Illinois St. 2400 block

Complete the sidewalk on N Illinois St between 22nd St North and 23rd St North. It is unacceptable that our children must walk in the street to get to the bus. Illinois St is too hazardous with the number of cars that pass by every morning and afternoon.

Continuation of speed bumps on N. Harrison St. The speed limit is not enforced and people fly down the street once there are no more speed bumps.

Control dog owners. They do not pick up after their dogs. I walk out of my home, to the sidewalk and the patch of grass between the sidewalk and street is a dog dumping ground. People visit my home, step in the crap and bring it inside. I have tried every spray known to man. It does not stop. Recommend we fill the grass strip with concrete & end up with a wider sidewalk.

Curbing on John Marshall Dr (along greenway) between 22nd Rd & 23rd to prevent traffic from driving on the greenway

Curbs and gutters are lacking in some areas

Cut shrubbery back from sidewalk on s. side of Lee Hwy from John Marshall to Powhatan. Lee Hwy is heavy and fast driving traffic. A full use of existing sidewalk is needed.

Enforcement of right of way for pedestrians in crosswalks

Fix clogged drainage of storm sewer by driveway by CVS/auto parts store (driveway into Illinois Street)

Get rid of existing street lighting and upgrade

Get rid of speed bumps! I can't believe that my tax money gets spent on these obstacles that damage my car

Historic preservation designation for 2200-2300 blocks of North Kentucky Street, which have 12 original Pompano homes from 1948-1949. Designation could be non-restrictive.

Historic Neighborhood signs

I know you can't do anything about is but the "castle" at Kensington & 24th can't possibly comply with County regs. If it does, the regs need changing. It not only is the ugliest house in Arlington, it is way to big for this neighborhood!!!

Improve the ball field and park near Overlee Way Community Center

Install a median with trees along Ohio St between Washington Blvd and bridge over Rte 66

Install sidewalks; control house styles; house on 1925 Madison st. should not have been approved - it doesn't fit the neighborhood style!

It would be nice to have gas light replace the dim, blinking streetlights.

Moore clearly labeled crosswalks with signs warning motorists

More complete sidewalks; however, tree preservation should come first

More pedestrian friendly measures along and across Lee Hwy.
Need another small park

More shade trees

More sidewalks

More sidewalks and/or continuity of sidewalks

More sidewalks on bust streets especially N. Nottingham. Speed bump would be helpful also.

More speed bumps or slower drivers. They won't slow down.

More street trees in our area. More public land - such as undeveloped rights of way.

More traffic calming on Lexington St north of Lee Hwy - between Lee Hwy and 26th ST. Cars stop at the stop sign at 26th & Lexington St and when they see the light at Lee Hwy is green they go as fast as they can to try to make the light before it turns red. There are several families with small children living along this section of Lexington and it is a big safety issue.

more trees, cherry trees along bike path/greenway

Need Pure Station to beautify property

Need speed bumps on 26th st. north between Lexington and Jefferson. A lot of children, walkers, and bikers on this street. Cars speed too fast. I moved here 6 months ago and I don't understand why our street doesn't have speed bumps.

Neighborhood signage ("Leeway Overlee Neighborhood" + date of founding)

New houses are too huge!

No more huge houses on tiny lots

Not all the streets have sidewalks which would make it safer for children & anyone walking

Nottingham St is one of the few streets connecting Lee Hwy & Washington Blvd. It lacks sidewalks and cars are speeding. It is just a matter of time, but an accident will eventually happen. Try to walk on it at dawn and you will fear for your life!

On our street, repaving (w/o installation of sidewalks)

Parking lot expanded at Lee Center which was financed but never started years ago.

Pavement of the pedestrian right of way between Powhatan and N. 22nd St (for strollers, wagons & bicyclists).
More crosswalk markers on Washington Blvd for people walking to the Metro.
Better tot-lot/shade area at Lee Rec Center.
Pedestrian bridge over Lee Highway somewhere - maybe at John Marshall or better crosswalk & maybe a traffic flashing signal to remind motorists to yield to pedestrians crossing at crosswalks on Lee Hwy

Pressure put on businesses (e.g. Nail Salon at top of Lexington & Lee Hwy) to clean up and fix up (e.g., paint) buildings and properties.

Proper drainage of water - water drainage a problem since footprints of homes have changed with new construction patterns. Water is flooding in areas of our property where it did not when we first purchased our property.

put a wide medium in John Marshall and line it with trees

Put utilities underground - would make for real improvement and cut cost of upkeep.

Reminders to homeowners that trash cans & recycling bins should NOT be put on curb BEFORE 4pm of day prior to pickup.

Resurface N Nottingham St

Sidewalks

Sidewalks are needed

Sidewalks everywhere

Sidewalks on N 26th St between Lexington and Harrison St plus a safe way for pedestrians to cross N Harrison St on 26th St. There are many people going to Yorktown, the playground, and the plaza and it's really dangerous for pedestrians currently.

Sidewalks would be great - water runoff/ice an issue

Sidewalks!! (Madison St) 4-way stop signs at all 4-way intersections. Something to slow cars down. There are a lot of young kids.

Slow trraffic on 26th street - perhaps traffic circle at 26th and John Marshall.

Some of the big trees seem old. There have been no new trees planted along roadways

Speed bump on 22nd North between Harrison and George Mason. At rush hour this stretch of 22nd St is a "cut through" to avoid traffic lights on Lee Hwy. Cars race up and down the road.

Speed bumps & narrowed intersections are NOT effective for slowing people down - don't rally for more to be installed

Speeding on 22nd St between Lexington & Nottingham - not sure if that's something this group would help deal with, but it's a huge problem - especially with cut-through traffic to Metro/66 and school bus stops

speeding on N. Illinois St. is problem with all the children in the area

Stop sign at 22nd St & Madison St

Stop the McMansions

Streets have huge potholes on N 22nd Rd 5400 Block

Stronger restrictions on building height - 3-story houses are out of character with neighborhood (22nd St near Quantico)

The Lee Center could have an overhaul of outdoor grounds, incl. the park area.

The most pressing problem is the lack of sidewalks cited in #6. This is a school bus stop and the lack of sidewalk on this portion of Illinois makes it extremely hazardous (for adults, too).

Top of the hill on 22nd Road by Nottingham - forsythia bushes grow over the sidewalk, pushing pedestrians into the street. Forsythia should be cut down & shade trees planted.

Traffic abatement - to slow it down on 23rd St between Nottingham & John Marshall

Traffic calming between Lee Hwy & 23rd St

traffic calming on Harrison street

Traffic circle on N Illinois for 24th St to slow down traffic

Trees - appropriate for s (comment not completed)

We need sidewalks

Would like full sidewalk south of Lee Center. With steep grade, visibility is poor (22nd Street).

Would like speed breakers on N. 26th between Harrison and Lexington



Question 8 Summary:
Consensus on needed or desired improvements:

  • Traffic calming (21 responses)

  • Sidewalks, curbs and gutters (20 responses)

  • More trees (7 responses)

  • Too big of houses on small lots (6 responses)

  • Improve crosswalks (5 responses)

  • Improve street lighting (4 responses)

  • Numerous other responses


  1. Land Use and Zoning

(no open-ended questions)
Question #9: Do you favor the Leeway Overlee area remaining neighborhoods of mostly single-family detached homes (versus allowing building of higher density residential or commercial properties)?

Single family housing around EFC Metro is not best use. Any redevelopment around EFC Metro should be higher density so long as parking is included/

I do think accessory dwelling units (ACU) for 1 or 2 persons is acceptable

I think higher density housing along Lee Hwy is a good idea. The streets off highway should stay single family

The problem is Infill McMansions that use too much of the lot. Also, double lots that convert to two homes, usually identical. Arlington County should not allow identical side-by-side development.

Yes - definitely


Question 9 Summary:

    • Yes (1 response)

    • No (3 responses) One respondent believes any redevelopment around the EFC Metro should be higher density; another believes in higher density along Lee Hwy.



Question #10: In the future if zoning changes to our neighborhood area are proposed by property owners, please indicate your preferences below.

10a. Lee Highway is not very residential as it approaches Lee-Harrison. I would think that smart redevelopment on some parts of Lee Highway would be OK, condos or apartments.

10b. We live within the Beltway. As population increases, it is inevitable that density will increase.

10b. But we would like less restrictions on what upgrades we can do to our house.
