Plates are still there….guess it all depends on your definition of “soon.”

It is the county’s responsibility and they shirked it! Man up and pay for his alignment. Those plates have been there for a year and EVERYONE knows of the hazard and the county should have had Archstone or whomever fix it. THEY are responsible for protecting our safety and they didn’t do it. The roads are worse than a third world country as it is. Wilson, down by BJ.s is breaking up in huge chunks, Fairfax and Wilson intersection in all directions? The “fix” is a lose term meaning “make it worse”…..what a waste of tax money. Fire them all and get a civilian contractor and FORCE decent work.

Plates removed holes to be filled sometime in July.

My cousin Eddy had to have his steel plates removed too. Every time his wife would rev up the microwave, he’d pee his pants and forget who he was for a half hour.

The County has sovereign immunity against stuff like this.

Your poor attempt at making me go away was unsuccessful. I’m here.

Love it. You N. Arlington folks complaining about steel plates make us folks in the Shirlington area jealous – y’all clearly don’t have to put up with the mess that was/is Four Mile Run, Walter Reed and Columbia Pike. Try about 4 alignments in the last 6 months. Get over it.

This poor attempt at anti-streetcar humor is unnecessary. Go away.

Mr. Murphy is right about those plates. I hit them a few weeks back and thought my tire blew. Those plates are a safety hazard not only because they are causing vehicle damage but because they could cause an accident.
