Dear neighbors,
Our County Supervisor, John Foust, recently sent an email out calling attention to several important upcoming meetings on the topic of transportation projects in Fairfax County.
I am very grateful to active members of our community who have lobbied to include several projects for Pimmit Hills on the list of projects that will be considered for funding (see below for a full description). However, we need your help to make these projects a reality.
The County is hosting several "Dialogue on Transportation" meetings, where you can voice the need for improvements to pedestrian facilities or roads (and introduce new ideas!).
In addition, you can voice your opinions via an online survey by first visiting www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/cdot and then https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DGPZVQV for the survey itself (if you go straight to the survey, three key Pimmit Hills projects are IDs 150, 159 and 208).
Would you consider attending one of these meetings and/or taking the online survey to express support for the projects proposed for Pimmit Hills? Your participation can make the difference in whether these projects get funded.
The meeting details and dates are shown below:
