In a shocking turn of events, the Arlington community breathed a collective sigh of relief yesterday as the Board of Supervisors received a letter from R.W. Dunlop, acting secretary of the Department of Agriculture, assuring them that the new Mount Vernon Boulevard will not be a traffic dead-end. The highway, currently under construction as part of the 200th anniversary celebrations of George Washington’s birth, had raised fears among locals that it would be inaccessible to county traffic. But Dunlop’s letter put those worries to rest, unveiling plans for two county entrances to the highway in the lower section of the county.
