No response.How would you prefer to participate or engage in decision-making?
Currently, I don't believe that residents voices are being considered. I see that there are opportunities like this to post feedback, but it seems like they are used more to say that residents feedback was sought vs. impacting decision making.

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?
I think it is critical that a broader, more strategic view is taken and that no low income or other broad housing initiatives occur without corresponding accounting for schools, parking, roads, etc. The additional large housing complexes on George Mason, Wilson and in Ballston are having a dramatic and negative effect on school overcrowding and displacing some neighborhood kids (including those in the new housing developments). Also, the new road pattern on Wilson is causing excessive traffic and close car encounters.
