SWVNA Meeting Minutes - September16, 2009

SOUTHWEST VIENNA NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION (SWVNA)
MEETING MINUTES
16 SEPTEMBER 2009

Councilwoman Laurie DiRocco was the guest at our September meeting. Laurie discussed some of the initiatives the Town Council is working on, such as trying to improve parking in the Church Street area by partnering with the businesses. The Town is continuing to look at the Maple Avenue Vision. Some developers may be interested, but cannot live with the 35 foot height requirement. The Town Council will have a work session on this in the near future.

Regarding activities adjacent to Vienna, Laurie reported that the Fairfax County Planners met with the Town Council to convey what parks and recreation areas are planned for the Tysons redevelopment. This is a concern, as the Town resources cannot support the added customer base that the redevelopment will create.

There was a question and answer session regarding lot coverage in the own, and also citizen concerns about crime and general public safety in Vienna, especially around the Park Street apartments.

Also reported at the meeting was that the Bike Advisory Committee is establishing bike lanes in the Town, and will be starting in Southwest, probably with Tapawingo Road. The attendees were very enthused about getting bike lanes.

Everyone was advised that the next meeting is scheduled for seven-thirty PM on 21 October, at the Marshall Road School. The meeting was adjourned at nine o’clock, with thanks to all who attended.
