The Park Authority published the Draft Tysons Park System Concept Plan last month, putting in motion the opportunity for public review and comment on this planning document. The Tysons Park System Concept Plan will guide future park development by the public, private and non-profit sectors that will serve Tyson’s residents, workforce and visitors well into the future. The plan is available online atwww.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/plandev/tysons-park-planning.htm A 60-day public comment period closes on June 16, 2014.

I work in Tysons and have to say, these are probably the most inconvenient places to have meetings about cycling. Spring Hill Elementary is outside of the Dulles Toll Road. What that means is that you can't get there safely from here. Tysons Pimmit library is inside the beltway. While it is much easier to get to via bike, the only route I know would be to go back out of Tysons, down Gallows and back to the W&OD - all so that you don't need to cross the Beltway there. At lunchtime, on a work day, it's a no-go. I appreciate the sentiment, but these seem to define the mess that Tysons has become.
