\n<\/span><\/strong>The community is defined as those who live, work, and recreate in the vicinity.\u00a0 The community embraces and promotes the preservation of wildlife and the enhancements to the quality of life by the inclusion of Paws, Hooves, Heels and Wheels (PHHW) into the vision for Hunter Mill Road.<\/p>\n
\nThe statement represents what the community wants the road to be like in 100 years after the vision statement is accepted, implementation may be incremental, but all changes to the road must be consistent with the vision.<\/p>\n
\nAny changes to the road must be congruent with the vision statement.<\/p>\n
\nThe total length of the road from Baron Cameron Avenue in Reston to Route 123 in Oakton, including all facilities within and adjacent to the right-of-way, that the public experiences along the length of the road.<\/p>\n
\nTypically slow and steady movement of traffic, no posted speeds over 35mph; a quiet, calm residential byway. Minimal signage and traffic control clutter, no advertising or billboards. Residents and those who share our road feel safe using all facilities along the entire length of Hunter Mill Road. The road shall be statistically safe, as measured by low injury and crash rates.\u00a0 Through trucks and HAZMAT transportation are banned, PHHW have easy ingress and egress to the road. PHHW can safely cross the road frequently, at reasonable intervals, and safely and pleasantly stroll beside (walk along) the road.
\nThe road shall be accessible: walkable, crossable, easy ingress and egress to properties, left and right turns out of driveways and cross streets without the need for turn lanes.<\/p>\n
\nWhile Route123, Reston Parkway, Fairfax County Parkway and Route 28 serve the needs of rapid travel North\/South; Hunter Mill Road remains the only North\/South residential byway in Fairfax County retaining the historical and aesthetic character of rural Virginia.<\/p>\n
\nThe road will be gently rolling and curving, following the natural topography, with native species growing alongside, shaded with old trees, which will form a canopy along the road. The road will retain its rural (or semi-rural) character, which means curbless, grassy shoulders following the natural topography with native foliage wherever possible.<\/p>\n
\nHistoric sites, trails and buildings along the length of Hunter Mill Road are identified, preserved and enhanced. History will be defined to include all peoples and cultures of this area.<\/p>\n
\nNo exposed utilities; historic vistas from valleys and hills are preserved.<\/p>\n
\nEverything along the road reflects the aesthetic of the rest of the road.\u00a0 Parks and equestrian pathways are supported; traffic is kept slow enough to support safe passage of PHHW. The movement of traffic is to reflect the tranquil atmosphere as stated in the vision statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
