Citizens Association cites numerous failures with master plan.
Reston
— As Reston prepares for its future, the Reston Master Plan Special
Study Task Force recently voted to send their work onto the Fairfax
County Planning Commission for consideration.
One of the dissenting votes against the task force’s report came from the Reston Citizens Association, who panned the recommendation and gave them a “D” grade.
“I’d hoped by now we’d have
something we could all be proud of. But we’ve got to call it like we see
it, and there are major issues that haven’t been addressed yet,” said
Colin Mills, president of the RCA, in a statement. “We need a plan that
meets our community’s expectations for the future.”
The RCA gave its highest marks, a
“B” to the plan’s overview, urban design and placemaking and
environmental stewardship. In those instances, those categories are
criticized for leaving many specifics, such as information on how to
implement the urban design.
Other areas received failing grades, such as the urban parks, recreation and culture section. . . .
