The Northern Virginia Streetcar Coalition is a grassroots community organization advocating for the creation of a regional streetcar network in Arlington, Alexandria and Fairfax. Essentially, their goal is to support development of an extensive streetcar plan in Virginia similar to the one DC recently publicized, and that BeyondDC has been promoting since 2008.

The group, which isn’t affiliated with any of the DOT or planning agencies in Virginia, is holding a kick-off meeting on Wednesday, November 18, from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. The meeting will be at the Alexandria campus of NOVA Community College and will feature a panel of speakers including Arlington County Board member / regional transit guru Chris Zimmerman.

More information about the meeting is available on Facebook.
