But it might come at the expense of city em- ployees. Council members approved a “guidance” resolution that directed City Manager Jim Hartmann to prepare a budget that would have the average homeowner paying the same amount as last year. Because property assessments have declined over the last year, that would require the city government cut its budget by 4.3 percent and the school system to reduce its budget by 2 per- cent. City officials say accomplishing that goal might require lay- ing off some city employees. “We fully expect there will be considerable service reductions in the proposed budget, and the proposed budget will likely in- clude potential reductions in the city’s workforce,” said Mayor Bill Euille. “We must approach this effort with full clarity, ag- gressive communication, and, above all, compassion.” The guidance resolution identified several areas where council members would like to see the city manager minimize reductions, such as public safety, human services, transportation spending and education funding. Council members also directed Hartmann to avoid harming programs or services that would harm property values or diminish Alexandria’s ability to recover from the cur- rent economic downturn. To accomplish this, they suggested, Hartmann should try to identify ways for residents to accomplish Photos by Alexandria Fire Department tasks that government can no longer afford.

  • Ceo Report November 2015 Our Mission
    CEO REPORT NOVEMBER 2015 OUR MISSION The Virginia Railway Express, a joint project of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and the Potomac Rappahannock Transportation Commission, will provide safe, cost effective, accessible, reliable, convenient, and customer responsive commuter-oriented rail passenger service. VRE contributes to the economic vitality of its member jurisdictions as an integral part of a balanced, intermodal regional transportation system. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO – DOUG ALLEN This fall, VRE has been completing major improvement and safety projects including final preparation for the opening of Spotsylvania Station. This will become the new end-of-the-line station on the Fredericksburg Line and the first extension of VRE service since operations began in 1992. Commencement of VRE service in Spotsylvania will begin the morning of November 16. The station has 1,500 parking spaces and should considerably ease parking congestion at the Fredericksburg Station. To provide increased capacity on the Fredericksburg Line, an additional morning and evening train is planned to begin operating prior to the end of 2015. The station would not have been possible without the vision, dedication and leadership of Gary Skinner, VRE’s current Vice-Chairman and Spotsylvania County Supervisor. In anticipation of the commencement of VRE service at the Spotsylvania Station, VRE staff, Spotsylvania County Fire and Rescue, CSX and the Federal Railroad Administration have been involved to provide first responders a number of training OUR opportunities to ensure they are not only prepared in the event of an emergency, but know how to ensure their own safety if called upon. A full-scale emergency simulation at the new Spotsylvania Station platform occurred on October 31.

  • Authorization to Issue a GEC VII Task Order for Design Services for Alexandria Station Improvements
    Agenda Item 10-A Action Item To: Chair Cristol and the VRE Operations Board From: Doug Allen Date: January 18, 2019 Re: Authorization to Issue a GEC VII Task Order for Design Services for Alexandria Station Improvements Recommendation: The VRE Operations Board is asked to authorize the Chief Executive Officer to issue a GEC VII Task Order to HDR Engineering, Inc. for Design Services: Alexandria Station Improvements in the amount of $812,000, plus a 10% contingency of $81,200, for a total not to exceed $893,200. Summary: The Alexandria Station Improvements project will remove the existing at-grade pedestrian crossing of two tracks and construct major renovations of platforms to provide ADA-compliant access to both the station (west) platform and the center (east) platform. The scope of services for this task order covers the design of these improvements. Background: Alexandria Union Station, which serves both VRE and Amtrak trains, requires significant investment to improve passenger safety and accessibility as well as operational flexibility. VRE has three primary objectives at Alexandria: 1) eliminate the existing at-grade crossing while ensuring safe and ADA-compliant access to the center platform; 2) modify both the center and station platform heights to achieve FRA- and CSXT-required clearances, meet ADA requirements, and eliminate the need for step boxes; and 3) allow passenger trains to serve the station on any of three tracks. The original Alexandria Station Pedestrian Tunnel project planned to achieve the objective of eliminating the at-grade pedestrian crossing by constructing a new pedestrian tunnel underneath the rail right-of-way, parallel to the existing century-old tunnel.
