MWAA mandates union hiring: Several Virginia officials were unhappy with the decision of the MWAA to mandate a project labor agreement on Phase 2 of the Silver Line. Fairfax County's Pat Herrity, a representative of Virginia, said DC & Maryland having a vote amounted to "at best, taxation without representation." (Examiner) (Comment)

Why do elected Republicans hate bikes?: Fairfax supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) thinks bikes are not a transportation device, while Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) wants to eliminate the county's bicycle coordinator position. (TheWashCycle) (Comment)

Republican-only town hall on I-66: Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA) and two Republican Fairfax Supervisors are holding a town hall Saturday morning in Chantilly to discuss "solutions to alleviate congestion" on I-66 that mostly involve more auto infrastructure but also will talk about BRT. FABB would like the Custis Trail extended along I-66 outside the Beltway. (Comment)

HOT tempers in Virginia: Alexandria officials are weighing their options for HOT lanes. Residents oppose the lanes, but aren't sure they want the city to join Arlington's suit. Some don't like the environmental justice argument in the suit, which points out that the HOT lanes would disproportionately affect Arlington's lower income and minority neighborhoods. Alexandria may ask the state delegates to do something; Sen. Patsy Ticer says the project is "already dead," but once a line gets drawn on a map, dead projects have a way of coming back (see: ICC). Fairfax and Arlington heads Sharon Bulova and Barbara Favola (who look oddly alike in these pictures) will meet to discuss the issue. Pat Herrity is really angry Arlington doesn't want to let itself get paved over, both here and on I-66. (Gazette Packet, Sun Gazette, Centre View) (Comment)
