Attend The March 16 Snow Summit
March 10, 2009
Dear Friend,
Many residents of the district contacted me during and after the recent
snowstorms related to getting their streets plowed. It was very helpful
in both identifying the problem areas, as well as determining why
certain areas were neglected and how we can help VDOT better respond in
the future.
Given these concerns, I wanted to let you know about the upcoming
"snow summit," hosted by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors'
Transportation Committee that I will be attending along with others
from our Northern Virginia delegation as well as our Supervisors - here
is the information:
Tuesday, March 16, 2010
3:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Board Auditorium
Fairfax County Government Center
12000 Government Center Parkway, Fairfax, VA 22035
The summit will assess what worked well and what did not, at both the
state level and the county level during this winter's massive
snowstorms. The summit will include representatives of the Virginia
Department of Transportation (VDOT), the county's public safety
agencies, Fairfax County Public Schools and the county's Facilities
Management Department. The meeting may also be viewed on television
live on Channel 16.
We also now will be dealing with "pothole season." As we
previously reported, Governor McDonnell declared a pothole blitz for
the month of March. He has directed VDOT to focus on patching the
thousands of potholes across the state due to this winter's blasts of
snow, ice and rain. For the month of March, pothole repair will be
VDOT's top priority. The Governor has requested that citizens help
identify potholes. To report a pothole, visit www.VirginiaDOT.org
or call VDOT's Highway Helpline at 800-367-7623. If you wish to cc us
on any email correspondence, then we can also follow up with VDOT as
well.
I look forward to seeing you in the District as we complete
our session here in Richmond. Please join us for the "Snow Summit" or
send us information that you would like us to share.
Regards,
Barbara Comstock
Delegate, 34th District
