No response.The Community Facilities Study Committee is developing a list of challenges facing Arlington and alternative strategies to address them. What considerations or challenges are important to you?
Open space preservation. We must resist covering all the ground with pavement. All construction in Arlington must be planned with the vertical element in mind; we have to build up and not out. Every county facility must be planned in the vertical and with parking garages as a component. (Take the TJMS as an example: parking there is already challenged with the theater and gymnasium attracting the public. When expansion or new Elementary School is contemplated, we must include a parking garage to make better use of the square footage that is already covered.
