Question 24 Summary:

The answers here were generally nonresponsive to the question.

V.25. Please identify any special needs you have that have not been met by Arlington County:


Arlington County recycling of plastic products is limited to 1 & 2 only

ART bus stops at Powhatan St & Lee Hwy and at Powhatan St & 22nd Street

Branch library should be open Sundays

County needs to be more proactive in recycling plastics - all plastics should be able to be recycled.

I would like for the branch libraries to be open more hours.

Kids need sidewalks to walk to bus stops and other areas!

Lighting of neighborhood & no sidewalks

Madison Sr Center is not available for disabled. You have to go up or down steps to get in. We need a pool with warmer water for arthritis.

Maintaining green space - keeping density of trees. Too many people are cutting big trees because they don't want the upkeep or raking leaves in the fall.

Maintenance assistance for elderly homeowners

More affordable housing for the elderly (and I'm not talking about rents that start at $900/month).

More enforcement of speed limits on Lee Highway!

Need better public pools. Yorktown is falling apart.

Need new trash can

Need to get on the stick and build new Westover library, the current one is too small.

Our street (23rd) was not well plowed during our few snowfalls this year

Pedestrian safety

Plastic recycling is too limited; great mulch service

Pollen control!

Pretty darn good

Rat Control. I see rats in my block of Nottingham between 22nd and 23rd.

Sewer backups have occurred locally. The County should give a report on upkeep of sewers.

Snow plowing from the 22nd Road cul de sac doesn't happen but once in a blue moon.

Snow shoveling help on pipe stem driveway

Speed bumps or traffic control

Stop sign at 26th & J Marshall
Police stopping speeding on 26th

Trash carts and yellow plastic recycling container need to be replaced when they become battered or in need of replacement

Tree growing between curb and sidewalk that interferes with electric, water and sidewalk.

Water pressure in Arlington too low.

We are very happy with the services provided. We do wish it was easier to get into the Overlee Pool - we have tried for 2 years & still no luck. We think neighborhood residents should get priority.

We have a recurring fox problem and the County will not do anything to control them

We have new speed bumps on N. Lexington St between Lee Hwy & Little Falls. They are less than 6 months old and they are already deteriorating. They need repair.

Westover Library

Would like a neighborhood program to help the elderly neighbors
- mow their lawn, clear their snow, go to the store, etc.
- where you a neighbor friend to help you

Would like to be able to recycle more items, such as plastic containers.

  1. Commercial/Business Area


Question # 26: Rank the degree to which you experience problems with the following in the Lee Highway commercial area:


Traffic is bad on days when there is a swim meet, but it isn't a big deal. Getting on Lee Highway from John Marshall is a problem in rush hour. Parking is getting worse at Harrison shopping center. Upgrade John Marshall from 23rd Street to 22nd Road like that which was done north of 23rd Street.

a. Post Office


b. During rush hour on 22nd St between Harrison & G. Mason
d. Post Office & AT&T land
h. Post Office
j. Post Office land

k. Sidewalks!

26e. Day time

26i. South side entities don't look so good.

26b. On Lee Hwy & Harrison Center

26e. @ Lee Hwy & Harrison

26a. Noise: Blockbuster lot - car ghetto blasting stereo

26c. Bright Lights: Need reduction in intensity overnight

26e. Safety while Walking: Alley along CVS/Advance Auto

26j. Commercial area: Fence line landscaping along CVS/Blockbuster lot - dead trees/tree limbs, erosion problems, etc.

26j. Depends on commercial service

26k. Walkability

26d. People in passing cars throw beer bottles & cans out & we have to pick up the cans & broken glass

Lee Highway: The stretch of shops from Lexington to Glebe on Lee Highway are a serious eyesore!!! It needs to be razed and rebuilt with trees and a uniform façade.


Question 26 Summary:

    • Post Office (4 responses). Degree of problems not specified.

    • Lee Hwy and Harrison St properties (3 responses). Degree of problems not specified.

    • Difficult to summarize based on formatting of responses




  1. 27. If there are particular businesses of concern, please state their names and the problems:

[Also see comments under question #26 in the General Comments section.]


1. Back CVS/Blockbuster/Auto arts - overflow of trash

2. 22nd St & Kensington - owner has several undeveloped lots. Make offer to buy and develop as a park



Area behind auto parts store

Area behind gas station at Lee Hwy & Illinois is an eyesore - a fenced tot lot would be great

Around service stations - Shell, Chevron, BP, Pure, Sunoco. Noise, traffic, and appearance, especially the 24-hour stations and late night noise.

Bad traffic intersection at Lee Hwy & Harrison. Pedestrian traffic across Harrison St. between Safeway & Teeter is endangered.

BP Station at 5600 Lee Highway - he has junk piled to the left of the station

BP station on Lee always parks their tow trucks and vehicles on neighborhood streets

Corner of Florida & Lee - Strip w/Caribbean Grille

Crossing Harrison to go from Harris Teeter and Safeway is an issue. It's better now that there are flashing lights at pedestrian crossing

CVS/Blockbuster/Auto Parts

From Harrison street to Lexington, Lee hwy is really dumpy.

Garden City strip looks trashy. Lee Harrison shopping center at lunch and early dinner--especially faces Harrison Street are too narrow--it's so annoying!

Gas stations that back up to 24th Street from Lee Hwy.

Hair salon lot on Madison/Lee Hwy could need some "green." Cars are parked on the grass.

Harris Teeter shopping center has a horrible parking lot.

I - the strip of shops between Harrison St & G. Mason look tacky & run down

Lee Harrison area - Traffic and parking problems

Lee Harrison Shopping Center - sometimes no place to park

Lee Lex auto shop, Corner of Florida & Lee (strip mall on Lee Hwy)

Lee-Harrison Center - no pedestrian access; does not clear snow from adjacent sidewalks (neither does CVS/Blockbuster)

Lee-Harrison Center: Inadequate Parking

Lee-Lex Auto Shop is an eye-sore

Local shopping centers (esp. Safeway & Harris Tweeter) are often very congested

Lot cleaning at 5-5:30am in Harrison shopping center is very noisy

More speed limit enforcement on Leeway would help businesses

Parking at Harrison-Lee shopping center getting worse

Parking in Lee-Lexington shopping center is insufficient

parking situation at Bray and Scarf strip mall

People rush in and out the many gas stations regardless of pedestrian traffic

Please install sidewalk on 23rd-22nd Road and John Marshall (along Greenway)

Post Office & AT&T Land

Pure gas station - Lee Hwy and Illinois/parking are in rear of station rented out to lawn services - eyesore

Pure gas station - upkeep of property

Pure Gas Station, Safeway running refrigeration trucks at night, lack of parking at lee harrison shopping center

Pure station - removal of landscaping, addition of gravel, run off, appearance; CVS trash overflow

See above

Signs are too bright on McKinley Street signs for TRG Group

Strip ctr. Btw. Lee hwy and Kensington - busy and convenient, but can't we improve appearance. Also Lee-Lex auto repair at lee and lex - appearance is awful!

strip of commercial east of George Mason - always looks bad

Stripmalls could be made more attractive. Front of stores

the business strip between N. Lexington and N. Kensington on Lee hwy needs a facelift. Buildings look old and in poor shape.

The car repair shop at Lee & Lexington is a blight. All of the gas stations could benefit from landscaping and improved appearance.

The entire stretch of businesses on Lee Hwy - no parking, hard to walk to, not attractive, hard to get into some shops because so small and crowded

The gas stations and car shops are quite trashy

The Overlee Pool speakers are extremely loud in the summer. WE can hear the announcement blocks away.

The radio and cell towers. Eyesores.

Track Auto - trash in parking lot

Ugly, poorly designed, old facilities

Watch what happens to Hollywood property - no more night clubs, no more banks

Westover shops

Yes - property management of Blockbuster/CVS shopping area. Need better landscaping along fence to improve privacy and alley safety; loitering in lot is a problem, especially in warm months.

GOOD sit down restaurants! Why do we always get banks instead?

Honestly - a neighborhood pub along the lines of Westover's Stray Cat or an Irish pub from Clarendon

I think we have enough

Larger drug store

Losing Giffords was heartbreaking - Baskin Robbins isn't a good replacement.

Maintain small businesses

More family style restaurants

More family-friendly restaurants like Pie-Tanza & Stray Cat

Restaurants

Summary of Question 28: Businesses people would like to see

  • Restaurants (26 responses)

  • Bookstore / bookshops (7 responses)

  • Pubs or bars (5 responses)



Question # 29: . . . Should the County develop a long-term pan for redevelopment of commercial property along Lee Highway?


Put utilities underground

I don't want more commercial properties

Just clean up the trash

Some redevelopment would be OK, but not if it is going to take away/raise rents on small mom-and-pop stores like what's happened in Clarendon

Yes, but not to the extent of those above. Just to make look better and help with parking. Not big like above. Keep neighborhoods first, stores second.

Some of the shops are very seedy (tattoo parlor) & crossing Lee Hwy can be an issue.

Along Lee Hwy outside of our neighborhood - strip mall near 7-11 and George Mason going east on Lee Hwy (north side)

Needs immediate attention
