At the June 12, 2025 PRAB Regular Meeting, Storm Water Manager Satoshi Eto presented a new stream assessment covering 128 segments — a significant expansion from the 31 segments assessed in 2007 — using ArcGIS mapping tools. Based on the assessment data and community survey feedback, staff recommended moving forward with preliminary engineering for Daniels Run Park (segment 2), identified as the most community-desired project area with the greatest potential for erosion and water quality improvements, and conceptual engineering and phasing for the Accotink Creek corridor from Fairfax Blvd to Pickett Rd (segments 5 and 6). Grant funding options were also discussed at that meeting.

On July 1, 2025, staff provided a follow-up update to the City Council at a Work Session, with no formal vote or action taken at that time.
