Supervisor Kelly Burk has made a career of being smart. From teaching our kids to serving on the Town Council, she has made a life of thinking critically, explaining thoroughly, and making decisions based on facts and data. It’s why she voted against Kincora, and fights for development done right here in Loudoun.

Tonight, at the County offices, there is a presentation on doing growth right. It’s called “Smart Transportation-Are you Ready for the New Paradigm?”

Wednesday – July 21 – 8:00pm

Smart Transportation-Are you Ready for the New Paradigm?

BOS Room; LC Govt. Center 1 Harrison St. SE, Leesburg, VA

Contact:  Supervisor.kelly.burk@loudoun.gov or (703) 777-0203

Loudoun’s Countywide Transportation Plan was adopted last month amid much public discussion about its pros and cons. Many residents complained about its negative impacts on communities and provided the Board of Supervisors with an analysis that challenged the assumptions of the Plan, while the business community and others expressed concern about killing Loudoun’s economic future through gridlock. Is the adopted Plan sufficient to address our transportation problems? What can we do in the near term that can make a real difference? Are there solutions that both improve economic development opportunities and livability?

In a 45-minute presentation, Lockwood and De La Espriella will discuss the problems generated by the conventional transportation model and community benefits that accrue from a range of creative transportation and design solutions. The presentation will be followed by a short question and answer period.

The presentation is sponsored by the Piedmont Environmental Council, which has been involved in smart growth for a long time. In light of the hubbub over the alternative CTP that was circulated earlier in the debate, it’s great to see Supervisor Burk doing her part to gather and disseminate facts and public discussion over these questions.

Come out this evening and join the conversation* about transportation in Loudoun.

(*Note: Conversation, not shouting match.)If you can’t make the meeting tonight, Kelly is holding one of her regular coffee’s on Saturday. She’s always available to talk to her neighbors here in Town.
