The FLCV is appreciative of this year’s endorsement partnership with the Mt. Vernon and Great Falls Chapters of the Virginia Sierra Club and the Friends of Accotink Creek. The FLCV is an independent political action committee whose mission is to protect, preserve and promote a healthy environment for all citizens of Fairfax County by electing dedicated officials who have demonstrated environmental stewardship. We believe that a conservation ethic is necessary to maintain our quality of life and our economic vitality depends on environmental sustainability. Fairfax has a tradition of environmental excellence, from protecting the Occoquan watershed to preserving Huntley Meadows and our stream valleys. We will support candidates that respect our heritage and preserve our County for future generations. The FLCV works in close alliance with other federal, state and local environmental organizations and its membership reflect citizens who live in all nine magisterial districts of Fairfax County.

The minutes from the November 28, 2017, Public Safety Committee meeting were approved. The first topic on the agenda was Police Pursuit Policy and the Precision Immobilization Technique (PIT) maneuver. David Pienta, with the PursuitSAFETY organization participating by conference call from a remote location, provided several recommendation and consideration points from his review of the draft Police Department pursuit policies. o Goal is an objective rather than subjective policy. o Draft policy provides some guidelines, but police supervisors would still be making “subjective” decisions on a pursuit. o No stated mandate for police officer to clear traffic control devices safely. o No stated mandate for police officer to remain on scene if involved in an accident during a pursuit. o Police officer should render aid when an accident occurs. o Guidance should be included on tactical de-escalation for the conclusion of a felony vehicle stop.

Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons
Emily Hamilton. “The Politics of Redevelopment Planning in Tysons and Outcomes 10 Years Later.” Mercatus Working Paper, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, June 2020. Abstract Following the allocation of funds for a new line on the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s Metrorail system, the Board of Supervisors in Fairfax County, Virginia, undertook redevelopment planning for its Tysons area. The redevelopment plan was the first of its kind. The board adopted a comprehensive plan that established the objective of transforming Tysons from highway-oriented suburban office park development into a walkable, mixed-use area. The redevelopment effort has received extensive attention for its goal to turn a highly car-oriented area into walkable, transit-oriented development. But what is perhaps more notable about the Tysons redevelopment planning effort is its objective to allow extensive multifamily housing construction in a wealthy suburban community. So far, more progress has been made toward the goal of housing construction than walkability. JEL codes: R520, R310, R380 Keywords: Tysons, zoning, redevelopment planning, home building, housing, walkability, transit-oriented development Author Affiliation and Contact Information Emily Hamilton Research Fellow, Mercatus Center at George Mason University [email protected] Acknowledgments I thank Isaac LaGrand, Robert Orr, and Ann Miller for research assistance on this project.
