March Beacon Final.Pdf
Dear Neighbor, Last week, County Executive Bryan Hill presented his Fiscal Year 2022 budget proposal. The presentation kicks off our budget process and, like last year, I will be listening to your thoughts, concerns, and reactions before adoption of the final budget on May 4. To that end, on Tuesday, March 30, at 7:00 p.m., I will be hosting a virtual Braddock District Budget Town Hall and the Board of Supervisors will conduct public hearings April 13-15. Homeowners should have received their annual real estate tax assessment and this helpful video explains the assessment process. Additional information on both the town hall and public hearings will be included in next week’s Walkinshaw Advisory email. After public hearings and approval by the Board, Fairfax County has joined our neighboring jurisdictions in banning the use of plastic bags for yard waste. While this change went into effect on March 1, 2021, there is a grace period until April 19, 2021. I encourage everyone to review this yard waste article for helpful tips and reminders on how to manage your yard waste in an environmentally friendly way. Shifting gears to the COVID-19 vaccine, the Fairfax County Health Department has finished sending first-dose invitations for people who registered on January 18, and they are now sending invitations to registrants from January 19. The latest county dashboard reflects this update. Some of our older residents have struggled to find transportation options to get to their vaccination appointments. Fortunately, Fairfax County and compassionate community providers have numerous options to get residents to their appointments. -
Fairfax County Parkway Widening Appropriation Cancellation
VI. NORTHERN VIRGINIA TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY M E M O R A N D U M TO: Chair Phyllis J. Randall and Members Northern Virginia Transportation Authority FROM: Michael Longhi, Chief Financial Officer DATE: February 6, 2020 SUBJECT: FY2020 Regional Revenue Fund Appropriation Cancellation – Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway ________________________________________________________________________ 1. Purpose: To seek Northern Virginia Transportation Authority (NVTA) budget de-appropriation action for the Fairfax County Parkway Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project. This action does not change the project’s status as an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program. 2. Suggested Motion: I move the Authority cancel the FY2020, $67 million appropriation for the Fairfax County Widening from Ox Road to Lee Highway Project, reclassifying the funds in the Regional Revenue Fund from appropriated to restricted. 3. Background: a. The Authority adopted the FY2018 – 2023 Six Year Program on June 14, 2018. b. The Authority appropriated $67 million for this project on April 5, 2019. c. To maintain compliance with Policy 29 – Project Activation, Monitoring and De-Appropriation, projects are expected to execute a Standard Project Agreement (SPA) within three months of appropriation. d. NVTA projects with appropriations are expected to start drawing project funds in the year of appropriation. e. At this time, Fairfax County reports schedule changes related to project phasing and addressing public comments. f. To better match appropriations with expenditures, Fairfax County requests to defer the FY2020 appropriation. This will allow the project the greatest amount of timing flexibility. g. The project will remain an adopted project in the Authority’s FY2018-2023 Six Year Program, with secure funding pending a future appropriation. -
I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study Executive Summary
I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study Executive Summary prepared for Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation prepared by KFH Group, Inc. and Cambridge Systematics, Inc. with LDA Consulting MCV Associates, Inc. PRR, Inc. August 2017 I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study Executive Summary Study Overview The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) plans to expand and convert the two existing reversible High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes in the I-395 corridor to three managed High Occupancy Toll (HOT), or Express lanes for approximately eight miles from just north of Edsall Road to just north of Eads Street near the Pentagon. Tolling of the new I-395 Express lanes will begin in 2019. The purpose of the I-95/I-395 Transit/TDM Study is to identify a comprehensive, fiscally unconstrained, set of transit and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) investments on which future toll revenues from the I-395 Express lanes may be invested. Potential investments include new and expanded bus and rail transit services, transit capital projects, commuter parking facilities, TDM program enhancements, and technology improvements that support transit and TDM – all with the intent of maximizing person throughput to support economic development and quality of life for communities along the corridor. The study included three key phases: Project Background and Needs Assessment – This phase of the study laid the groundwork for developing strategies, conducting analysis, conversing with stakeholders and the public, and reaching consensus on recommendations; Planning and Analysis – This was an interactive phase, with multiple rounds of feedback between analysis and stakeholder review and comment; and Plan Development and Delivery – This phase developed the recommendations from the prior phase into real solutions that State, regional, and local partners can proceed with towards implementation. -

Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap
Snickers Gap, Loudoun County, Virginia Introduction: Snickers Gap, originally Williams Gap, is a wind gap in the Blue Ridge Mount on the border of Loudoun County and Clark County in Virginia. The gap is traversed by Virginia State Route 7. The Appalachian Trail also passes across the gap. Bear’s Den and Raven Rocks are adjacent to the gap. Geography: At 1,056 feet (322 m) the gap is approximately 300 to 600 feet (91 to 183 m) below the adjacent ridge line and 400 to 600 feet (120 to 180 m) above the surrounding countryside. Due to the dwindling height of the Blue Ridge as it approaches the Potomac River, Snickers Gap is one of the lowest wind gaps of the ridge in Virginia, with only Manassas Gap and the adjacent Keyes Gap being lower. The gap connects the northern Virginia piedmont with the lower Shenandoah Valley and serves as a main thoroughfare between the two regions. History: The gap has been a major thoroughfare since before the European colonization of the area. Native Americans originally cut a trail through the gap that continued to be used by settlers. The gap was known as Williams’ Gap until the early 1780’s, when the modern name began to be used. The gap derived its name from Edward Snickers, who owned the gap and surrounding land and operated a ferry across the Shenandoah River on the western side of the gap. But the late 18th century the Snikersville Turnpike and the Snickers Gap Turnpike were completed, and Snickers Gap became the main thoroughfare between Loudoun County and the Shenandoah bypassing Keyes Gap, which to that point had been the preferred route. -
