NEIGHBORHOOD CONSERVATION PLAN ACCEPTED BY COUNTY
Our Dominion Hills Neighborhood Conservation Plan
was accepted by the Arlington County Board in December. Dominion Hills is
eligible for county funding for valuable enhancements such as
beautification, infrastructure, roads, lighting, signage, traffic, safety,
parks & recreation. A neighborhood committee is being formed to
identify priority items to be funded. Neighbor Dave Jenkins has agreed to
lead this committee. If you are interested in joining this neighborhood
committee please contact Dave. Committee meetings and information will be
posted here & included in future newsletters.
TRAFFIC CALMING PROJECT
Last year more than 30 Dominion Hills neighbors
collaborated with Arlington County to design a traffic calming project for
North 10th Road between McKinley & Patrick Henry Streets. They
developed a plan that utilizes crosswalks & traffic nubs to reduce the
excessive driving speeds on 10th Road, thereby enhancing the safety
& overall quality of life in our neighborhood. More than 80% of the
neighbors in the affected area signed a petition in support of the planned
design that was presented to the Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee last
summer. All County approvals have now been obtained & construction should
begin later this year.
