East Falls Church Task Force to Hold Public Hearing

The East Falls Church Planning Study Task Force will be holding a hearing to receive public testimony on future plans for the neighborhood. The hearing will be held in the multi-purpose room of Tuckahoe Elementary School (6550 North 26th Street) on January 23, 2008 beginning at 7:00pm. The Arlington County Board appointed the 18-person group last summer in order “to generate a vision for transit-oriented development in the East Falls Church area of Arlington County.”

According to Task Force Chair Mike Nardolilli, President of the Arlington East Falls Church Civic Association (AEFCCA), the group is particularly interested in hearing about the public’s vision for the area 10 to 20 years from now, suggested land use and transportation improvements, and public concerns about the area. The Task Force is charged to review all previous planning efforts for the area, such as the AEFCCA Metro Survey (2005), the Virginia Tech East Falls Church Metro Area Plan (2004) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority Station Access Study (2002), and report directly to the County Board.

Beginning on February 27, 2008, the Task Force will be holding monthly public meetings on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7:00pm at Fire Station #6, which is located on Lee Highway/Washington Street in the neighborhood.
