I've appeared before a couple of groups familiar with this project -- the Providence District Council and the McLean Civic Association -- and they are overwhelmingly against it. So is the Vienna Town Council.

But the county supervisors don't care what opponents think. They are determined to allow high-rise buildings at the Vienna Metro station regardless of the adverse consequences to local transportation.

I think you folks now need to marshal your energy, intelligence, and financial and organizational skills and start campaigning to be sure these supervisors are not reelected. It's in your hands.

Driver Evaluation

Dear Dr. Gridlock:

You recently mentioned the AARP refresher course for older drivers who are concerned about their driving abilities. There is another resource.

Mount Vernon Hospital offers a Comprehensive Community Mobility Evaluation that helps determine a person's readiness to participate in community mobility. It is often used for patients recovering from illness, stroke, brain injury, etc.
