Neighbors feel left out as Arlington zooms forward with street project

Arlington is revving up for a street improvement project that neighbors say has left them in the ditch. Construction along Arlington Ridge Road between 23rd Street and S. Meade Street is scheduled to begin Aug. 8, but neighbors are begging the county to stop the project.

“It’s something we did not request. All we requested was they deal with one corner and give the kids some safe space. The county came in with an elaborate plan. They clearly were marching to their own drummer,” said Chick Walter, president of the Arlington Ridge Civic Association.
