The Alexandria City Council approved a series of changes to King Street near the Bradlee Shopping Center last night (Tuesday), but the discussion also touched on wider issues about how the City tackles its transportation infrastructure. The changes will take the access two-way road parallel to the Bradlee Shopping Center and turn it into a one-way westbound street with a dedicated bus lane and a two-way bicycle trail. Vice Mayor Amy Jackson, however, said she was concerned about the impact of the changes on some of the already strained traffic near the Bradlee Shopping Center. If your experience is ‘I’m at Bradlee Center and I don’t see anyone coming on a bike;’ Those restaurants and stores are not getting those customers. I go to Cortada Cafe, further from my house, because I can get there much more safely than I can the Starbucks and Duck Donuts at the Bradlee Center.
