No response.How would you prefer to participate or engage in decision-making?
I went to the Open House (found out on twitter) - and there were no signs outside the county building. There are so many opportunities on the street, bus shelters, to promote important information, but the county is not meeting people where they are.

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?
1) Fast moving economic and demographic shifts (aging boomers, school age children in SFH)
2) The people who reliably vote live in the north while the people who need transit, walkability, and new kinds of work spaces live in transit corridors and don't turn out.
3) The changing nature of the economy, travel, live and work - and implications for how we plan & design buildings.
4) Need a new vision beyond metro corridors.
