Thanks for the info. The URL for proposed routes is wrong. Remove the '.' at the end of your link tag: http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/routes/dullesrail/reston.htm

Thanks, Steve. Fixing it now.

What about RIBS? There's no mention of it in the proposals at all, as far as I can find. The proposed routes leave several low-income neighborhoods with next to nothing for bus service, so I'm hopeful there's a plan to continue the RIBS service, and maybe even make some of the one-way loops go both ways?

I was wondering the same thing about RIBS. And the one -way loops going both ways would be such an improvement! I hope that happens too.

Yes, thanks for the info. Not surprised that there are no meetings in south Reston. Wow, the 557 will be packed by the time it reaches us from the Herndon-Monroe P&R. Hope that they thought this one through.

I wondered about RIBS too. I hope they improve those routes as well.

I also wondered about the cost? Will my daily commuting cost change?

Molly-you have hit it on the head! We shouldn't be starting down this slippery slope of ruleRead More changing for 1 person.I do not know this individual , but that is not the issue here.

If the RA Board approves this self serving move by another RA Board member then the board membersRead More who do so should be voted out of their roles the next time they run for election.

Mr. Farrell, methinks thou protest too much. What ridicule and derision? It seems that you areRead More fanning the flames and rooting out some sort of scandal that, from my view, doesn't exist. As I understand it, there is a by-law provision that allows a homeowner to ask to be included in the RA. This wasn't something made up to accommodate one person. It was adopted for any single homeowner or cluster to opt in. There is no slippery slope. The rule is not being changed or adjusted for one person. The rule or by-law was in place prior to any of this hand wringing. Next, Ms. Rostant and all the other RA Board members are serving on a volunteer basis. Do any of you critics see some sort of gain to be had in this case? I find the witch hunt nature of some regarding this matter to be dubious if not mean spirited. Its easy to sit back in your easy chair and type away on your computer and deliver your edicts to resign. Get the facts. The lack of civility in some of these posts is repulsive.
