This morning I was fortunate enough to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new Arlington T Stop. The sun was shinning and a good sized crowd of public officials as well as the general public were in attendance.

Everyone involved in the project did a tremendous job making this station more accessible to people of all abilities. One of the highlights was a new glass encased elevator that makes both people in wheel chairs as well as parents with strollers able to get down to the platform level much easier.
