Two days ago I walked from Tysons Corner to the intersection where the old Moore Cadillac stood. It wasn't easy. In fact I couldn't walk in a straight line; from construction to various barriers and differing concrete obstacles it took a while. It took a long while. It was because of this walk that I posted what I did above.
I wonder if anyone with the Fairfax County government has made a similar walk. This is not Ballston, nor Clarendon, nor Bethesda, Silver Spring or Reston. It's an odd, concrete island centric obstacle course with numerous traffic lights and endless parking lots separating the continuity of any city like walk. It would seem that before the ambience of a city could appear a similar walk could be done.
And, today, it can't. Nor do the many proposals show how it can be done in the future.
Tysons shows isolated islands on paper. Not a continuous city.
