  • 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.

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. 1 o Guidance should be included on tactical de-escalation for the conclusion of a felony vehicle stop.

We feel it is important to reflect on recent accomplishments and challenges and to share that information with you. As always, it has been a productive year and I am very proud of our staff and leadership. This year our efforts to focus on strengthening our partnerships in this community are helping our park system. In my six terms as Chairman of the Park Authority Board, I have worked hand-in-hand with individuals who understand the value of working together for the common betterment of the community The commitment to our park system by our partners has made a significant difference in our ability to deal with these challenging budget times. Let me share some insights on how these partnerships and collaborations benefit all of us. I was honored to be a recipient of the Tony Griffin Partnership Leader Award presented by the Office of Private Partnerships, affectionately known as OP3, William Bouie this past May. It is a great honor to be recognized in this manner but I can hardly take credit for this accolade alone. Each year individuals and organizations use the Mastenbrook Volunteer Matching Fund Grant program to help fund projects in the community such as batting cages, dog parks or playgrounds. This year, the Park Authority Board increased the maximum from $10,000 to $20,000, thus stretching those dollars even further and increasing the possibilities for community-driven improvements in our parks.
