Alexandria, Virginia, is cracking down on serious crashes at a few intersections. Officials are identifying so-called “crash corridors” in the city. They’ve been using data to figure out where the crash corridors are located. It’s a small number of streets that have had the most serious collisions in Alexandria, including Duke Street and South Washington Street, Duke Street at Van Dorn Street, and King Street where it meets 395. Alexandria police say in the past three Octobers, there have been 73 crashes with injuries — many of them at those crash corridors. This year, they are deploying extra resources to try to fix the issue. “Just like crime data where we adjust our crime strategies, we use traffic data for the same thing,” Alexandria police Lt. Nick Lion said. “And we’re really working towards that goal of having zero major accidents where there’s fatalities or major injuries,” he said. Alexandria finished all of 2023 without a single deadly traffic crash. According to the city’s vision zero website, there were three deadly traffic crashes last year.

Congressman Don Beyer (D-VA) today issued the following statement today on the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas: “Like many people around the world I was heartened to hear last night's news of a long-overdue ceasefire agreement. It should be implemented without delay. “It should not have taken this much time or this much suffering to end the killing and return the hostages. It is absolutely critical that, unlike in February, this agreement proceeds beyond an initial ceasefire into further phases which ensure that this becomes a lasting peace. U.S. pressure and policy must make that the paramount goal. “The focus now should be on rebuilding shattered lives, homes and communities. We must ensure that aid reaches the needy, the sick and wounded receive treatment, and that orphans in Gaza are provided with care. None of this can occur on a necessary scale until the threat of imminent violence recedes not just from the Gaza Strip but from Israel, the West Bank and the wider region. “This war has been an unparalleled catastrophe for Palestinians and Israelis alike. We cannot allow cynicism or hatred to triumph and conflict to resume."
