Subject: Please vote YES on Braddock Road Corridor Improvements (May 16)

Dear Mayor Gaskins, Vice Mayor Bagley, and Members of Council,

I'm writing to urge you to support the Braddock Road Corridor Improvements at the May 16 hearing.

[your story will go here]

I support this project because:
  • It closes a critical gap in Alexandria's protected bike network between Russell Road and Mount Vernon Avenue
  • It shortens dangerous crossings at Russell, Commonwealth, and Mount Vernon
  • The city's own modeling shows it reduces driver delay, not increases it
  • It advances our adopted Vision Zero, Safe Routes to School, and Pedestrian & Bicycle Master Plans

City streets need to work for everyone. We can't say Vision Zero is our goal and then reject a plan that improves conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers! Please vote yes on May 16.

We’ll open your mail app with this email addressed and written. You just tap Send.
