Tysons Trails: Snow Removal & Lighting July 2016Fairfax County
This presentation on snow removal and lighting on trails in Tysons was presented to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Transportation Committee on July 19, 2016.
With collaborations with various City divisions and private service providers (in this case Streetlight data providers), our North York mobility innovation team uncovered several surprising suburban travel behaviour, patterns and distributions of trips that lead to meaningful and quantitative multimodal mobility planning. This presentation is a summary of project experiences and describes the key findings.

Merrifield Nursery Emergency Gravity Sewer ReplacementFairfax County
During a routine Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) Camera inspection by Wastewater Collection Division (WCD), it was found that 45 linear feet of 8-inch asbestos reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) between MH-292 to MH-291 was within imminent danger of failing. The bottom of the RCP was missing within the 45 linear feet of repair and the pipe was on the verge of surcharging. After an immediate pre-construction meeting with Merrifield Nursery, it was agreed to work from 6pm-10am everyday of the week to avoid disruption and potentially placing patrons at risk during the biggest time of the year for Merrifield Garden Center. The contractor mobilized to the site and began the 20-foot excavation to replace 45 linear feet of broken gravity sewer. The project started on March 14th, 2022 and was substantially complete on March 23, 2022.
The Sully Basins Stormwater Pond Retrofits project was substantially completed on April 19, 2022. The project is located within the Cub Run watershed. The project consisted of repair and enhancement of multiple stormwater basins, 0326DP, 0964DP and 1484DP. The project also included construction of new stone cascades, stone weir basin structures and the construction of wetlands with high and low marsh areas. The project will facilitate improved sediment removal and improve downstream water quality using forebays and micro pools. Aquatic and natural habitat were also added within the three basins.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

13. An interconnected transit system will
help Fairfax County:
Connect people and places affordably
using multiple transit modes that
attract choice riders
Grow efficiently by promoting mixed-
use development in designated centers
Thrive by helping residents access
places to work, play, and shop in an
environmentally friendly manner

26. About 70% of the County’s residential growth through
2040 will be in multifamily housing units.

27. Fairfax County’s
transportation plan
identifies eight
Enhanced Public
Transportation
Corridors (EPTCs).
How should they
connect?
What functions should
they perform?
Might other corridors
be needed to
complete the network?
27
28. Currently, transit service
is oriented primarily
toward serving jobs in
Washington DC and the
inner suburbs of
Arlington and Alexandria.
About 830,000 people
start a transit trip in the
inner core on a typical
weekday afternoon.
Most (57%) transit trips
stay in the inner core.
28
29. Currently, transit
service to jobs in
Fairfax County is
relatively limited in
comparison.
About 46,000
people start a
transit trip on a
typical weekday
afternoon in Fairfax
County. About half
(51%) stay within
the County.
29
30. In 2040, Fairfax will be
more of a jobs center
with greater transit
access to housing both
within and beyond the
County boundaries.
Under current plans,
about 136,000 people
will take a transit trip
starting in Fairfax
County, and 59% will
stay within the County.
30
31. Travel to, from, and
within Fairfax County
comprises many
overlapping travel
patterns.
One study objective is
to determine how to
most effectively
establish premium
transit corridors to
help serve these
2040 PM desire lines demands.
31
32. Initial review suggests that a
more robust network of high
quality transit corridors will be
valuable to serve both current
(white) and future (purple)
demand for person-trips.
High quality transit service will
be important to attract patrons
traveling to/from, within, and
beyond Fairfax County.
These maps show what one
potential study network might
look like. What opportunities
for connections do you see?
32
33. The type of premium transit service appropriate for each
corridor will reflect the traveler needs and land use
context in that corridor.
Destination corridors, like the
Orange Line in Arlington, connect
neighborhoods to multiple activity
centers.
Commuter corridors, like Virginia
Railway Express, primarily serve
one major activity center and tend
to focus on journey-to-work trips.
District circulators, like the planned
Tysons Corner Circulator, enhance
mobility within an activity center or
