Of course right now that’s not such a great thing considering Elan Tysons West has no facade installed and looks like a concrete mangle. Soon the glazing and stone work will […]

Route 423 – Central Tysons: Quick and Useful

When the Silver Line started last year the most glaring deficiency I saw in the proposed transit network in Tysons was the proposed 423 bus route. In September I broke down all the problems with the 423 route. The fact that from the most populous portion of North Tysons one can walk to Tysons Corner […]

Tysons Bus Circulators Get New Routes

It’s been a couple of weeks since the Fairfax County Connector service in Tysons underwent a re-routing of the new circulator service that began only a year ago.

The 4 lane road is a central corridor for residents of North Central Tysons, the most densely populated residential district of Tysons. For years the road has had […]
