Here is the latest community update from Julie Edelson, chair of the Lincolnia Hills/Heywood Glen Civic Association’s community advocacy committee:
BRAC Neighborhood Parking Planning
The City of Alexandria’s Traffic & Parking Board will meet tomorrow, Monday, March 28, 7:30 PM, 301 King Street, 2nd floor, council chambers, where the BRAC Parking Plan will be considered by the Board. The Parking Plan that will be recommended by staff is the Daytime Parking District in the BRAC-impacted areas as defined by the map on the BRAC Parking web site for the proposed Daytime Parking District.
A public hearing will also be held at this Board meeting. For a full docket report/presentation overview, please visit this link.
In addition, we have non-BRAC-133-related encroachment parking issues at the lower part of North Morgan and adjacent streets. In order to address these parking-related issues, I (Julie) am asking for interested neighbors to contact me so that we can convene a small working group to discuss strategies to these parking problems in our community. We will be delivering a flyer to the neighborhood shortly indicating a request for neighbor input/assistance.
“ELIZABETH CROSSING” DEVELOPERS INFORMATIONAL MEETING
Tuesday March 29, 7 PM, Mason District Government Center, 6507 Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA 22003-2029
The area of interest is the tree-covered strip of land beginning on Lincolnia Road immediately after the Lincolnia Hills entrance and ending behind the houses on the southeast side of North Morgan Street. Houses along N. Chambliss, Deming, and the cul-de-sacs off North Ashton are immediately adjacent to it and have received hand-delivered flyers. We have attempted to notify as much of the neighborhood as possible given a short notification time line. Please come and hear about the plan.
Public review is not required as this land is zoned R3 and being built out within that zoning which is the same as the adjacent properties. However, we need to be aware of developers’ plans and bring our concerns/interests to the table up front.
