The Board of Supervisors will vote on the authorization of a
public hearing on the parking restrictions to take place Oct. 8, 4
p.m., in the Fairfax County Government Center.
The restrictions were requested by members of the Annandale Central Business District Planning Committee, who complained that dump trucks,
tow trucks, delivery trucks and other large vehicles, many from out of state,
are reducing the capacity of on-street parking for local businesses and other
uses. If the restriction is approved, the trucks are likely to move to other
streets.

There are plenty of empty streets in McLean and Great Falls where they could park.
Why are they parking there? Is this daytime or overnight parking? What are the alternatives? Has anyone talked to the companies who are doing this?
The Board of Supervisors approved the authorization for a public hearing.
