The Board of Supervisors just officially announced the moratorium. We won. Stay sharp to ensure the infrastructure plans actually materialize.

Did you know that Fairfax County is working on a new zoning plan that could add 40% more density, over 30,000 more people, in the existing Reston Planned Residential Community (PRC)?
We welcome the prospect of new neighbors and businesses, but we need realistic plans and funding for schools, roads, utilities and other infrastructure to be in synch with growth.
Join us in telling the County to STOP the zoning change and STOP new development applications until the County has a realistic plan and funding for roads, schools, parks, utilities and public safety. As called for in the Reston Master Plan: Development must be phased with infrastructure.
If you are concerned about this growth plan you can help by signing the petition below for a Moratorium on all new Reston zoning amendments and County approvals of new development projects, until firm plans for infrastructure and funding are in place.
"We, the undersigned, petition the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors to declare a moratorium on any zoning amendments for Reston and approvals of all new Reston development projects not currently in process. The moratorium shall last until the County has demonstrated a viable plan and funding for the necessary infrastructure to accompany such development, namely: roads, schools, parks, utilities, and public safety."

There should be no changes in the allowed population density of Reston without a clear plan and commitment for modifying the roads, utilities, schools, and services infrastructure that would be developed to support the increased volumes.
Please take this seriously. Continued development without thoughtful planning would be short sighted and ultimately detrimental to our community. I speak as a life-long Restonian; my family moved here in 1974 when I was in first grade. Thank you.
Reston"s infrastructure development -- from schools and roads to parks and ballfields -- is not keeping up with explosive development of housing and offices. County has not provided statistics to prove that we should move the cap or how far.
The plan to widen existing roads even more is terrible. Reston Parkway is wide enough! Where will the space come from? From the adjacent tree barrier in front of the Hyatt, most likely, in that section. Nix the additional development, leave the cap where it is.
Im confident Adding 40% more density to Rest on was not part of Robert Simon's vision. There are many examples of existing health,safety and,welfare issues. Several can be cited at the intersection of Wiehle Avenue , bike path and fire station.

We need to maintain our forestry, green open spaces, and beautification of our Northern Virginia neighborhoods. Stop irresponsible building development.

My husband and I have lived in Reston for 39 years. In the past 10 years or so we have seen the quality of life here plummet. Increased density will certainly worsen an already poorly served community with even more traffic and overcrowded schools.
