Dan "trails bring undesirables into our neighborhood" Dellinger lost to Howard Springsteen by two votes. FABB reports
Springsteen is a bicyclist as is the other newly elected Council
representative Laurie DiRocco. Incumbent Councilman George Lovelace
voiced his strong support for improved bike/walk access in Vienna at a
recent candidate forum. With the proposal to form a new Vienna bicycle
advisory committee, and the newly elected council, we're optimistic
that bicycle facilities will improve in Vienna in the near future.
I wonder if three cyclists voted for Springsteen on just this issue.
Good for Vienna!

Well, count me as one of those cyclists anyway. Looking forward to seeing what the new folks can do.

Don't get your hopes up. Springsteen is part of the Vienna machine that steadfastly opposes construction of a bridge or tunnel where the W&OD crosses Maple Ave. It would detract from their pocket park known as the Town Green.
