From the McLean Citizens Association, of which PHCA Treasurer Mark Kinnane is PHCA's representative:
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors approved a new urban-oriented Comprehensive Plan for Tysons in June 2010 and the first rezoning application under the revised Plan in 2011. Thirteen other rezoning requests are pending before the Planning Commission. The 495 Express Lanes and the Silver Line are nearing completion. Tysons is changing. But into what? It’s time to find out what is coming.
The McLean Citizens Association is holding its Winter Membership meeting on Wednesday, March 14, 7:30 p.m., at the McLean Community Center. This year, we will host a panel discussion on Tysons Corner. Panelists will include two Tysons landowners/developers and two members of the Fairfax County staff with responsibilities for implementing the Tysons Comprehensive Plan.
This discussion will give the community an opportunity to learn about what changes will come to Tysons in the next five years or so.
- Will we see more residential, multi-family housing or more office buildings?
- How can we take the best advantage of Metrorail, high-quality mixed use development and a more walkable, bikeable Tysons?
- How will the landowners and the County handle additional traffic?
- What is Transportation Demand Management?
- How do the stakeholders think we can replicate and exceed the success of the Rosslyn-Ballston Corridor?
Our panelists will talk about these and other issues of interest. You are cordially invited to attend.
