Public Meeting August 30th, 2011
Arlington County is planning transit improvements in the Crystal City Potomac Yard (CCPY) Corridor, including a bus-only transitway, station stops, frequent bus service, and passenger amenities. The goal of the project is to provide high-capacity and high-quality transit service to residents, businesses, and visitors in this fast developing corridor. As part of the CCPY project, an artist was commissioned to create public art at the station stops. A public meeting was held on August 30, 2011 to meet with the artist, preview proposed work, and ask questions.
