The intersection of Pleasant Valley Road and Braddock Road has long been a problem area, and officials say it's time to do something about it.
During peak commuting hours, long lines of cars back up at the intersection of Pleasant Valley and Braddock roads, with drivers often waiting over 10 minutes for their turn at the stop sign. That situation just might change in the next few years. VDOT is considering plans to make some major changes at that intersection, which a large number of commuters from the South Riding area use. "The current four-way stop operates at level of service 'F'. Which is obviously failing," said Bill Cuttler, a representative of VDOT, to chuckles from a group of about three dozen residents at a meeting about the project in the Sully District Governmental Center Monday. Cuttler said that the proposals VDOT is considering would improve the traffic …

Some residents say that while the situation is bad, they're worried improvements will only move the problem to other areas.
Centreville and Chantilly area residents have known for years that the intersection of Pleasant Valley and Braddock roads is a problem for drivers, but some are concerned over the proposed solutions. VDOT is considering adding a roundabout or a stoplight at the four-way intersection. The intersection has long been a trouble spot: eight years ago an effort to put in a roundabout went nowhere after project costs rose significantly. About three dozen residents attended a meeting on the project in the Sully District Governmental Center Monday. Some said that they're worried the traffic will just get worse elsewhere if the situation at the intersection improves. "The roundabout scares the heck out of me," said Chris Terpak-Malm, a Pleasant …

Sully District Supervisor Michael Frey and School Board member Kathy Smith will host a town hall meeting on the Fairfax County budget March 13.

FY 2013 spending blueprint calls for no tax hike.
County and FCPS officials laid out the details of the county’s “no-frills” FY 2013 budget proposal at a Sully District town hall meeting Thursday night. District supervisor Michael Frey and school board representative Kathy Smith discussed next year’s budget (which starts July 1) with about 20 residents at the meeting in the Rocky Run Middle School cafeteria. “Things are looking much better than they did two years ago, but the truth of the matter is we are going to face a couple of more tough years in the future,” Frey said. “Federal spending is going to go down and we see that we are going to have to absorb much of these cuts at the local level.” Anthony Griffin, the county’s chief executive, has proposed a $6.7 billion budget that …

That rural intersection was there LONG before any developer got the idea to build -- overbuild the area -- beyond the capacity of the road system. And, it makes no sense what-so-ever to be taking by eminent domain MORE land when three of those corners are right now county-owned parkland. Why should a taxpaying citizen have his land condemned -- he's not one who allowed the developers to overbuild… more ›
