The Virginia Dept. of Motor Vehicles office at 4150 S. Four Mile Run Drive in Arlington is slated to close next year and move to Fairfax County.

The DMV office will move to the Barcroft Plaza shopping center, at 6345 Columbia Pike in the Falls Church section of Fairfax County, about four miles away from its current location.

The new DMV is expected to open “by late spring,” at which time the Four Mile Run location will close, said DMV spokeswoman Brandy Brubaker.

Arlington County will retain its DMV Select office at the county government building in Courthouse (2100 Clarendon Blvd). The DMV Select office offers various vehicle titling and registration services, but does not issue driver’s licenses, learners permits or ID cards.

And yes, photo ID is required to vote in Va., and Arlington (right across from DC) leans heavily Dem.

1. The attack on voting rights should be what brings us to one of two

results

all out civil war

or an end to those in power who use that power to disenfranchise people who wont vote for them

If anyone has a 3rd option, I am open to it.

2. This is a bad idea. That place is always jammed, for the reason that

the people it serves live nearby. They can get there on foot, by bicycle, or using public transit. The new location, although it is on the Metrobus 16 line, is not in a center of population as the existing location is. Getting there on a bicycle is tough, as that section of Columbia Pike has a 45-mph limit. I don't see how this helps people.

I've conducted business at the existing location. It's where some of the 9-11 terrorists got their Virginia driver's licenses or ID cards.

3. No DMV in Arlington

I grew,up in Arlington and there was not a DMV in the Country. You had to go to Baileys Crossroads which is in Fairfax County but about a mile away from where the new location will be. Please note that the DMV in Virginia is open 8::30 to 4:30 during the week and 8 to 12 on Saturday's. This is not some nefarious plan by the Va GOP to limit access to ID cards.

4. A city of 224k doesn't need a DMV?

BS!

Hell that basically the size of Richmond and there are plenty around here.

5. So many people fought the national ID idea a few years ago. We need it bad.
