Old Town
in progress
Community member Douglas Stewart (10822 Maple Street, Westmore neighborhood, Fairfax City resident since 2004) spoke at the October 26, 2026 hearing in support of the Gallery at City Center rezoning application, noting that the project had improved over time through city-applicant collaboration and better aligned with the vision for Old Town North and the small area plan, including wider sidewalks along interior streets.
NOVA Parks
in progress
Douglas Stewart serves as the NOVA Parks liaison to PRAB and has provided regular updates throughout the period. He reported on the Dominion Energy tree-cutting controversy starting March 2025, including the 4-mile clear-cut near Vienna/Dunn Loring, Dominion's termination of the existing MOU, and subsequent phases of cutting — and tracked NOVA Parks' efforts to negotiate a revised vegetation management agreement, which was reached on a non-binding basis in February 2026. He reported Gateway Park restoration plans, the leadership transition to Justin Wilson, holiday light attendance exceeding 200,000 visitors, and the new school field trip grant program. He was absent from the April 2026 PRAB meeting and from the November 2025 meeting (where his update was read into the record).
