ITEM # 57483 Council Lady Wilson referenced her attendance at the Virginia Municipal League meeting in Arlington, Virginia. Council Lady Wilson advised Arlington has published a small brochure entitled: Car-Free Diet" (Arlington County Commuter Services). This is an attempt to get people out of their cars and utilize other types of transportation as they travel on Arlington's extensive system of trails, paths and bike lanes. People in the Washington, DC area spend the Nation's second highest amount of time waiting in traffic. The publication references the funds saved "by not" driving one's car. With all the roads, Arlington is making sure a bike path is included. There is an 80-mile system of trails and on-street routes, beautiful, scenic bicycle tours, bike-friendly trains and buses and secure bike local facilities. In 2005, the American Podiatric Medical Association named Arlington the best walking city in the country. With so many places to live, work, and play within walking distance of each other, its easy to see why. People who commute to work in ways other than driving alone save an average of 200 gallons of gasoline per year.
