SUMMARY:March 2\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:Open Space: Is it important to you? \nCOVID has shown us how important it is to have parks\, trails\, and open spaces. Yet 22202 is very lacking in those amenities\, except for Virginia Highlands Park and Long Bridge Park. The Livability22202 working group created an open space report in December 2020\, but this is no time to rest on our laurels. There is so much more to be done. This is not a roll up your sleeves and dig the ground working group. We are looking for your ideas and input. Join the working group: email fullercarols@gmail for more details. \nAs demonstrated by three recent meetings\, we’re starting to have an impact. See the current status here: https://livability22202.org/open-space/ But it’s soooo important to expand membership of the working group to ensure participation\, not only geographically across 22202 but also demographically\, with emphasis on renters in high rise multifamily buildings needing access to open space. And not just during the COVID pandemic\, but year round. An Arlington County Civic Federation White paper shows residents in multifamily units have some of the least access to open space in the County.) Not a surprise to us\, is it? \nThe March 2 Open Space meeting covered: \n\n1. Briefings on recent meetings with County staff (DPR\, DES\, CPHD) and the Parks & Recreation Commission (described on Livability22202 Open Space working group page)\n2. Presentation of the Civic Federation White Paper on Equity in Arlington County Open Public Spaces\n3. What does OpenSpace mean to us? (A summary of comments coming soon.)\n4. Future of the Highlands Urban Garden (HUG) and further projects with FOUA; volunteer here\n5. Furthering the Integrated Pedestrian Map\n6. Roaches Run Clean Up Days in April\n7. Cherry Blossom Festival activities in National Landing and Virginia Highlands Park\n8. National Landing BID support for open space and Cherry Blossom Festival\n\nSee the recording of the meeting on Facebook here and on YouTube here. The PowerPoint presentation for each agenda item can be viewed here.  View the Open Space final report\, the Fact Sheet\, and the press release.

SUMMARY:February 22\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:Although the Livability Working Group on Route 1 provided VDOT with 19 pages of comments and requests for more data on their feasibility study\, they responded only to a few comments at this meeting and promised more substantive reply on data later on. We took the opportunity to review the scope of the study\, community concerns\, and possible alternatives or ideas on how to deal with Route 1. You can view the recorded meeting here and see the Livability slide show and VDOT slides here. \nAccording to the VDOT project website\, the study on Route 1\, from approximately 12th Street to 23rd Street South\, will explore an at-grade urban boulevard\, but also review and compare potential improvements to the current elevated condition\, and the elevated urban boulevard described in the Crystal City Sector Plan. Ultimately\, the study aims to provide sufficient information to make the best decision on a future project on Route 1 in Crystal City. However\, from comments at the February 22 meeting\, it appears that VDOT is only focusing on whether it is feasible to bring Route 1 down to grade and not on other options. This is disappointing and we will continue to advocate for a variety of alternatives and emphasize safety issues for crossing Route 1 without making it a major highway. \nThere will be a Task Force meeting February 25 (in which several Livability representatives participate) and a public meeting March 3. Register for the March 3 VDOT meeting here. \n\nAgenda (Feb 22)\n1. Introduction to Livability22202 and the Route 1 Working Group role in the VDOT study\n2. Overview of VDOT Route 1 Multimodal Improvements Study scope and status\n3. Issues the Working Group identified through the L22202 survey and workshops\n4. Review of suggested alternatives for Route 1\n5. VDOT Responses to Livability22202 input\n5. Review of Working Group requested data & analysis (Us) (7:40-7:50)\n6. Scope and purpose of next VDOT public engagement March 3\n7. Q&A and discussion of next steps\n\nOn January 11\, 2021\, the presidents of the three civic associations in 22202–Arlington Ridge\, Aurora Highlands\, and Crystal City–forwarded to VDOT the Livability22202 comments on the VDOT feasibility study. These comments provide feedback to the VDOT Public Information Meeting on the Multimodal Improvements Study for Route 1 on 16 December 2020. The covering letter and the four extensive Appendices are linked here.

SUMMARY:September 30\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:On August 26\, we held an initial joint civic association meeting to inform 22202 residents about planning for “improvements” to Route 1 through a VDOT feasibility study set to begin shortly and last for a year. These could include a business plan to lower Route 1 (Richmond Hwy) to ground level at 15th and 18th Streets. Whatever is decided by VDOT will likely have a significant impact on our 22202 community.\n\nThe September 30 virtual Zoom meeting will provide an opportunity for residents to weigh in on their concerns and needs about crossing Route 1 and to hear from the National Landing BID about their thoughts on “Reimagining Route 1.”\n\nA video recording of the meeting is available here:\n\nSeptember 30 Livability Update Video Recording\n\n

SUMMARY:August 26\, 2020
DESCRIPTION:The Livability 22202 Route 1 Working Group held its first virtual community engagement on August 26\, 2020\, with approximately 70 attendees. \nCarol Fuller introduced the session.  Mike Dowell presented the draft project goals and tied them in with the overall Livability 22202 goals.  Dana Bres introduced the audience to a brief survey instrument that the group is using to collect information on how the community currently crosses Route One\, as well as which crossings are avoided.  Emily Norton presented an historical overview of the relationship between the 22202 community and Route One\, with Pamela Van Hine as a co-author.  Darren Buck gave us an updated vision of 6 possibilities for reinventing Route One – from markets underneath the highway to parks and even high-rises on decks over the highway.  Check out his slides!  Arthur Fox updated us on the VDOT proposal\, a feasibility study of bringing Route One down to grade compared to leaving the existing road or following the Crystal City Section Plan\, which does not recommend bringing the highway down to grade. \nThe presentations were followed by a lively discussion and noted next steps.  County staff ensured us that VDOT will use the Pentagon City transportation data in the Route 1 analysis: https://projects.arlingtonva.us/plans-studies/pentagon-city-planning-study/pentagon-city-planning-study-transportation-analysis/  \nThe meeting video is viewable on the Livability22202 YouTube channel. Please watch the presentation\, and then complete the online Route 1 survey  by Thursday\, September 10.  Send us your comments on the draft goals\, visions\, current challenges with Route One\, and anything else you’d like to share. \nThe next community meeting of the Livability 22202 Route 1 Working Group will be on September 30.  Among the meeting topics: BID staff will present their Reimagine Route One proposal\, we will have an analysis of the survey results\, and we hope to have an update on the VDOT proposal.
