We, the undersigned Arlington residents, oppose rezoning the Safeway site at 5101 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA, to allow for structures taller than 35 feet.  The surrounding neighborhood consists primarily of single-family homes. Rezoning the site to allow taller commercial and residential structures would violate the scope, scale and values of the community.  Already, residents are concerned about traffic congestion, parking overflow onto residential streets and cut-through traffic in the neighborhood.  Rezoning would exacerbate these problems.

Please sign either the online or hard copy version of this petition, not both.  Thanks!

Update (Summer 2013):  Unfortunately, this petition has been receiving junk signatures.  If you would like to endorse this petition, please go ahead and sign here or send an email to [email protected] and you will be added to the hard copy version of this petition. Many thanks!

im still busy emailing with folks who are just as worried as i am about the traffic and the scale of this project. the silence from the developers is pretty frustrating but im going to keep pushing so they know exactly how the neighborhood feels.

im honestly so blown away by how much this project has grown recently. seeing everyone come together to protect our neighborhood is exactly why i started this and it really keeps me going.

My kids walk to school through there. More traffic is the last thing we need.

NO MORE CONDOS. Enough is enough.

The traffic around Wilson is already a complete disaster during rush hour. Adding a giant building is just going to make it impossible to get out of my own driveway.

Parking is already a nightmare on the side streets. Dont add more apartments if there is nowhere for the cars to go.

ridiculous. 35 feet is plenty for this area. stop trying to turn everything into a concrete jungle.

Keep it low. We bought here because of the neighborhood feel not to live in the shadow of a high rise.
