Arlington’s Smart Growth Journey- Part 3 The 1960s

June 22nd, 2009 Categories: Around Arlington County, Commuting, Going Green, Rossyln

In the 1960s, Arlington was out. Moving away from the city to Fairfax county was in. But– everyone still worked for the Federal Government in DC. The only way to get to DC from Fairfax county was the drive through Arlington. Even today- every road connecting Virginia to DC is in Arlington.  The Arlington County Board stood strong and was not going to let Arlington be just a overpass from Fairfax. You gotta love these guys! They are the reason why I66 is still only 2 lanes through Arlington.
