7. Old Business

8. New Business
   • Our new Sully Supervisor Kathy Smith has been working with both the Boards of the Sully District Council and members of the Western Fairfax County Citizens Association (WFCCA) to streamline the processing of land use cases in our district with the ultimate aim of having one land use meeting per month for all off Sully.
   • After a series of meetings, here's a summary of the new joint land use process:
   • Both WFCCA and SDC will hear the land use cases on the same night. Both groups will meet at the Sully Government Center the first Tuesday of the month at 7:30 pm. The McDonnell room has already been reserved.
   • The combined meetings will start on July 5th.
   • Cases will be scheduled by each President or his/her designee.
   • Our office will start notifying agents that come into our office of the new process and will refer them to either Jim Katcham or Mark McConn.
   • WFCCA will schedule applicants that are south of Rt. 50.
   • SDC will schedule applicants that are north of Rt. 50.
   • Cases can be heard by both groups.
   • Supervisor Kathy Smith's office will schedule a follow-up meeting this summer to review how things are progressing.
   • After considering the above items, we have made the following suggestions:
     • Start the meeting at 7 rather than 7:30
     • Finalize the agenda by a week before the meeting so that SDC can inform its membership speakers what time we expect to begin our regular meeting that will follow the land use meeting.
     • Plan on 30 minutes per case unless the respective committees believe more time will be necessary
     • That as cases are scheduled, the group scheduling a case/time informs the other group with the particulars so the next case is scheduled for a subsequent slot.

9. Items of General Interest:
   • At the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center
   • Snowbirds Display on Wednesday, May 25, 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm
   • Canada's elite military aerobatic flight demonstration team (Please note: the squadron will not be flying at this event.)

10. Scheduled Meetings/Activities:
• Medicine Cabinet Cleanout!! Sat. April 30th from 8 am-2pm
• Drop off unused or expired medications at the Fairfax County Police district station. (Pills or liquids only, no pressurized canisters or needles)
• Disposal is FREE, convenient, confidential and safe
• Safe handling of unused or expired medications helps prevent accidental poisoning, prevents drug abuse and it protects the environment!
• Among the many Police Station Drop-off sites: Fair Oaks, Sully and Reston
• NVTA TransAction 2040 Update briefs February - May 2016

In August 2015, the Authority embarked on a major update to TransAction 2040, the first in the post-HB 2313 (2013) era. This update is significant as all projects funded with the 70% regional revenues, as provided in the historic HB 2313 (2013) transportation funding bill, must be in the Authority's long-range transportation plan. HB 2313 generates an estimated $300 million annually in local and regional transportation funding to Northern Virginia.

The updated plan -- to be known simply as TransAction -- will be adopted in late summer/early fall of 2017 and will inform the Authority's inaugural Six Year Program covering the FY2018-23 period. The update process is expected to last two years. When adopted, the TransAction update will provide a multi-modal guide for transportation investments in Northern Virginia and will be the mechanism through which over $1 billion will be allocated to much needed regional transportation improvements through fiscal years 2018-2023.

• Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for a Pedestrian and Bicycle Traffic Counter in Reston 27 April 2016
• Officials from Fairfax County and the Reston Bicycle Club will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, to celebrate the installation of a new automatic bicycle and pedestrian traffic counter on the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail in Reston.

• The counter, valued at $7,000, was purchased by the Reston Bicycle Club and donated to Fairfax County to help collect information about pedestrian and bicyclist traffic.
• "The counter provides an opportunity to better document the usage of these modes of transportation, and will support the county's planning and investment in future bicycle and pedestrian improvements," said Adam Lind, Fairfax County Bicycle Program Manager. "We really appreciate this generous donation and look forward to monitoring the growth in bicycle and pedestrian trips for years to come."
• A small number of parking spaces are available at the event site; a map is available with the online announcement. For further information about the ceremony, or to request reasonable ADA accommodations, contact Fairfax County Department of Transportation at 703-877-5600, TTY 711.

• The agenda for both meetings included discussing Tier 2 mitigation.
• Project Background and Resources:
• The Purpose of the network analysis, as directed by the Board of Supervisors, is to evaluate the conceptual grids of streets and road elements at gateways to the Reston Transit Station Areas (TSAs), which would result in traffic flowing at acceptable conditions while maintaining a walkable grid of streets. The end result should be TSA street networks that are cost effective, and require the minimum right-of-way, with the least negative impacts to adjacent properties and the environment and take into consideration the provisions of the Reston Phase I Master Plan. These improvements will mitigate problem locations in the three TSAs. Click on the image below to expand.
