Nice op-ed by Erik and quite the quote "Zoning expresses desire. Infrastructure dictates destiny" – at Reston, VA
Fredericksburg’s physical growth provides a graphic illustration of how infrastructure determined its economic development. Founded in 1728, Fredericksburg initially grew by annexing the land that encompassed its expanding street grid. fredericksburg.com/opinion/c…

Just in time for Sip n Stroll tonight. Nice job #fxbg
Reminder! The speed limit on many road segments in the downtown district is now 20 MPH. This is part of the City's ongoing effort to enhance pedestrian safety throughout the downtown district. #FXBG
Enjoyed checking out the historic adaptive reuse for the Dairy market food hall in Charlottesville. Next time I gotta get there when they're serving it up. More about the building here: archpaper.com/2021/02/histor… #historicpreservation #adaptivereuse
Music, kids, and the right energy for Fredericksburg's sip n stroll Friday night. And, such good burritos. Would love to see the street pedestrianized in the future #fxbg #downtownfxbg – at Fredericksburg, VA
Absolutely devastating news to see Eileen passed while caretaking for Annandale that she was so passionate about. #annandale #pedestriansafety #visionzero – at Fredericksburg, VA
#Breaking @FairfaxCountyPD confirm 1 of the 4 peds struck in Annandale has DIED. Eileen Garnett, 83, was taken to the hospital with injuries considered life threatening. Sadly, she succumbed to her injuries this morning @wusa9 tinyurl.com/4z2d63j3
This could be the once-in-a lifetime economic development splash for Prince William County....but only the beginning of the story as we hear from other jurisdictions and wonder if DC comes back into play.
My best guess about todays news? Get MD and VA bidding against one another
Cheering was more fun than running and had some help hosing down the runners at @Marine_Marathon this weekend. #runwiththemarines #historichalf – at Fredericksburg, VA
No surprise Chapel Hill businesses are thriving being back in final 4. To take it one step further, it could be a reason to temp repurpose streets and space for watch parties, supporting local businesses along the way #unc #chapelhill chapelboro.com/news/business…
