City Council to take up Russell Road appeals Nov. 14

The appeals have been pending since August. Council will review the whole Safe Routes to School project, not just the parts under appeal.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — City Council will take up the Russell Road Safe Routes to School project at its Nov. 14 meeting, settling appeals that have sat without a hearing date since August.

Council "will consider the appeals and review the full project to reach a final decision," according to a written staff update in the Traffic and Parking Board's October docket.

That last phrase matters. The appeals were filed against a single decision by the Transportation and Environmental Services director. Council now intends to review the project as a whole.
