Dear Broad Run Friends and Neighbors,
Happy 4th of July! As you celebrate Independence Day, I hope you take this time to enjoy the holiday with you family, friends, and community. Whether you are watching fireworks, hosting a cookout, or simply enjoying a summer day, I wish you a safe, joyful, and meaningful holiday weekend.
I would like to share a few highlights with you from last month. I was pleased to welcome Frye’s Famous Crab Cake CO. (JumboLumpCakes.com) and Improve Life PLLC (ImproveLifePLLC.com) to the Broad Run District. Frye’s offers crab cakes and more, and is owned by Brandon Frye, whose passion began early on while working in his father’s restaurant. Improve Life offers therapy, medication management, ADHD and genetic testing, and personalized wellness strategies for ages 12 and up, including mothers and young adults. Join me in welcoming Frye’s Famous Crab Cake CO. and Improve Life PLLC to Ashburn!
Earlier in June, I attended LCPS' Special Education Advisory Committee awards to celebrate and honor outstanding teachers, administrators, students, and other community members who go above and beyond to help those with disabilities in our school system. Congratulations and thank you to all those who help support our special education system!
Recently I also joined a few of my colleagues and community members in the unveiling of two new welcoming statues at the Douglass Community Center playground, honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and former President Barack Obama. The Douglass Community Center playground is a premier destination playground located on the grounds of The Historic Douglass High School. The school served as the only accredited African American high school until the end of segregation in Loudoun County in 1968. The playground offers a themed experience celebrating the global impact and contributions of African Americans.
I am excited to announce the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the Ashburn Recreation and Community Center will be held on Thursday, July 31 at 6:00pm. I invite everyone to join me in celebrating this important milestone for our community. The two-story facility features a 50-meter competition pool, spa, a full-size gymnasium, sensory room, multipurpose room with a teaching kitchen, offices and meeting spaces, and so much more. Beginning with this upcoming November 2025 General Election, the facility will also serve as an additional satellite early voting location, providing Broad Run residents with a more convenient option closer to home. For additional information on the Ashburn Recreation and Community Center, visit: Loudoun.gov/AshburnRecCenter.
There is also an opportunity to serve our community by applying to serve as the Broad Run representative on the Advisory Commission on Youth (ACOY). Members of ACOY advise and make recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on any priorities, opportunities, or issues relating to youth residents of Loudoun. Each year, ACOY prepares and presents a “State of Loudoun Youth” report, providing updates and suggestions on various county youth programs and resources. If you or someone you know would be a good fit to serve in this capacity, please apply through this link: Onboard.Loudoun.gov/Board/3501.
Please remember, I am always available to answer any questions or help with any matters affecting the Broad Run District.
Sincerely,
Sylvia

In a November 2016 referendum, voters approved the use of bond funding for the Ashburn Recreation and Community Center project to serve the greater Ashburn area. The project included the construction of a 121,000-square-foot recreation and community center on the 18-acre proffered site.
The project was designed and constructed to be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver-certified, a certification indicating that the building incorporated advanced sustainable practices, such as enhanced energy management systems, water efficiency strategies and sustainable building materials. The certification is pending.

Loudoun County is renaming portions of Route 640 in Ashburn that are currently named Shellhorn Road and Faulkner Parkway to “Broadlands Boulevard.”
Establishing one name for the street from its intersection with Belmont Ridge Road (Route 659) to the intersection with Waxpool Road will alleviate the confusion resulting from multiple names for the same road.
The renaming has been timed to coincide with the upcoming installation of a traffic circle at the intersection of what is currently Faulkner Parkway with Waxpool Road. Work on the traffic circle is scheduled to begin later this summer. In accordance with Chapter 1020: Naming of Streets of the Loudoun County Codified Ordinances, the choice of Broadlands Boulevard affects the fewest property owners. It is also the most cost-efficient choice, requiring the replacement of the fewest number of street signs. Property owners in the area are being notified this week by mail of the name change, which is expected to be complete—with new signs installed—by August 1, 2025.
The Loudoun County Office of Mapping and Geographic Information is responsible for administering the naming of streets and roads and for assigning addresses in most areas of the county outside the incorporated towns. More information about the process and criteria for the naming and renaming of streets and roads is online at Loudoun.gov/RoadRenaming.
