Dear Neighbor,
| | Graduation season is officially here!🎓 In Braddock, that excitement is especially in the air as George Mason once again becomes the backdrop for countless ceremonies. Each week, we’ll share the updated schedule so you can plan ahead, and, hopefully, steer clear of the extra traffic that comes with all those well‑earned celebrations. | | |
I want to offer my heartfelt congratulations to every graduate and to the families who have supported them along the way. Whether you’re finishing high school, college, or graduate school, take a moment to recognize the significance of what you’ve accomplished. You’ve reached an important milestone in your journey, and you deserve to savor it.
This year, I’ve been celebrating right alongside many of you. I just returned from my youngest son’s college graduation, and like so many parents, I find myself filled with joy, pride, and just a touch of bittersweet emotion. Watching him cross that stage reminded me how these moments mark both an ending and a beginning, not just for our graduates, but for the families who have cheered them on.
To all who are celebrating this season: congratulations. May the road ahead be full of opportunity, discovery, and moments that make you proud all over again.

And now on to fur-babies - I hope everyone is getting excited for one of my absolute favorite annual events - Braddock Bark! 🐾
Bring your leashed pups (and the humans they love!) for a day packed with free, pet‑ and family-friendly fun. We’ll have a doggy splash zone, furr‑tastic giveaways, booths from local pet nonprofits and businesses, adorable adoptable puppies, our very pup-ular dog luring activity, community groups, music, and so much more.
There will be plenty for the kids too, with special kids’ activities, delicious food, and an ice cream truck to top it all off.
It’s always a wonderful community day, so join us on Saturday, May 30, 1:00 -4:00 p.m. at the McLaren Sargent Pavilion at Lake Accotink Park, Springfield, VA. I can’t wait to see you there and meet your four‑legged friends! Download the event flyer here.

The biggest item on the May 5, 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting was adoption of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget. For more on that, you can read my message in last week’s Beacon or visit this County News post about what’s in the adopted Budget.
Every Board meeting also includes presentations and recognitions. One highlight was our recognition of Holocaust Remembrance Day with a special guest, 100-year-old Frank Cohn. Colonel Cohn recounted his extraordinary experience of narrowly escaping capture in Nazi Germany in 1938, coming to the U.S., and joining the Army for active duty in World War II.
We also recognized Water Safety Month. I noted that drowning is the leading cause of death for people with autism, at 160 percent higher than the average. That’s why the work of our community members who provide swimming lessons for neurodivergent individuals is so important, as is the work of our public safety agencies which are saving lives every day.
| |
The Board approved an agreement that will move us forward to start construction on the Willard-Sherwood Health and Community Center this summer. I’m excited about this project, close to the Braddock District, which will provide a wide array of services to Fairfax County and Fairfax City residents, such as Pre-School for low- to moderate-income families, Infant-Toddler Connection, Nurses’ Clinic, Maternal and Child Health, Dental and Eye Care Services, TB and STI treatment, and more.
Additional items from the May 5 meeting:
-
Authorization of a public hearing on June 9, 2026, to consider an ordinance reducing speed limits to less than 25 miles per hour on certain business or residential public roads as a pilot study
-
Updated fee schedule for Fairfax-Falls Church Community Service Board services
-
Vacation* of a small section of Banting Drive in the Kenilworth II neighborhood
* A “vacation” in this context means that the no-longer-needed portion of road will removed from the roadway system, and will be transferred to the homeowners association.
-
Approval of the Active Fairfax Transportation and Trails Plan – a guidance document for the County which is a vision for what Fairfax County's active transportation network would look like if fully implemented. The Plan brings together the Bicycle Master Plan and the Countywide Trails Plan and makes recommendations for design of sidewalks and trails to encourage greater connectivity and safer accessible facilities.

Wakefield Farmers Market
Spring has arrived in Fairfax County, and with it comes the return of one of our community’s most beloved traditions: the Wakefield Farmers Market. The Braddock District Staff had the honor of ringing the starting bell at the first Wakefield Farmers Market of 2026 located near the Audrey Moore Rec Center!
Running every Wednesday from now until October 28, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the Wakefield Farmers Market offers residents a convenient midweek opportunity to shop for farm-fresh produce, baked goods, meats, dairy, and artisanal products. What makes Fairfax County Park Authority Farmers Markets especially meaningful is their “producer-only” approach, vendors sell only what they grow or make themselves, ensuring freshness, quality, and a direct connection to the source of your food.
As we head into the warmer months, I encourage everyone in the Braddock District to stop by the Wakefield Farmers Market, meet your local farmers, and experience the best of what our region has to offer. Stop by any Wednesday for fresh produce, savory pastries, and much more!
Don't forget about the Burke Farmers Market Saturday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to noon!

| | Virtual "Talk. They Hear You." Underage Drinking & Substance Use Presentation | | |
The Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board Wellness, Health Promotion & Prevention team is providing a free online presentation for parents and anyone else with youth in their lives. "Talk. They Hear You." is a national substance use prevention campaign that encourages talking with children early about alcohol and other drugs. This presentation will provide information and resources to assist in having these important conversations early and often.
Small, ongoing conversations can do a lot to prevent underage drinking and other drug use. Starting these conversations early, by age 9, are important, as research shows that children begin to look at alcohol more positively between ages 9 and 13. According to Fairfax County Youth Survey data, about 12.7 percent of eighth grade students say they have tried alcohol; by grade 12, that number jumps to 37.4 percent.
This presentation is for parents and caregivers of children, teens and young adults, to provide practical tips on how start and continue having conversations about underage drinking and substance use.
Learn:
- what you can do to prevent your child from drinking and using other drugs;
- consequences of underage drinking;
- why small conversations make a big impression;
- why you should talk with your child about alcohol; and about
- local resources and information to support these conservations.
Join us for a one-hour presentation to learn the five conversation goals to talk with kids about alcohol and other drugs.
When: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 at 6:00 p.m.
Register for event
If you have questions, please contact the Wellness, Health Promotion and Prevention team at CSBPrevention@fairfaxcounty.gov.
Fairfax County is committed to nondiscrimination on the basis of disability in all county programs, services and activities. Reasonable accommodations will be provided upon request. For information, call 703-324-7000, TTY 711.
| | Message from School Board Member Tom Dannan | |
I’ve been working to hit the ground running as the School Board Member for Braddock. For those who don’t know me yet, I’m a former PTA president, small business owner, and parent of two elementary-age FCPS kids.
I was sworn in a couple months ago, I'm excited to share my first major initiative as a School Board Member: Creating an Educational Technology Review Committee.
One of my biggest priorities coming into office was to ensure FCPS is being very intentional about using technology in our schools. To that end, I’m grateful for the collaboration of my colleagues, including Karl Frisch, on how we can move forward quickly while creating lasting, meaningful, and positive change.
This Educational Technology Review Committee (ETRC) is modeled on our existing Instructional Resource Review Committees, and would bring together parents and caregivers, students, educators, and subject-matter experts to evaluate and guide a data-driven review process, ensuring that instructional technology choices -- including devices and artificial intelligence -- are developmentally appropriate, grounded in instructional value, aligned with division priorities, and responsive to the experiences of those most affected. I’m also working with members of our Governance Committee to provide my views on our approach to AI and Ed Tech policy.
At the same time, I’ve been working to provide inputs into our school calendar policy, to ensure that we’re providing families with consistency, while also providing educators with sufficient time for planning and development.
Of course, I welcome any and all inputs around these, and any other issues related to our schools. You can contact me at Braddock@fcps.edu.

Open House on the Lake Accotink Preservation Study
Since the summer of 2024, the Lake Accotink Project Team, which consists of an interdisciplinary group of Fairfax County staff, US Geological Survey staff, and professional engineering and science consultants, has been assessing the feasibility of preserving a smaller Lake Accotink. The three main studies within the Feasibility Study include assessments of the:
1) Lake Accotink Dam;
2) sedimentation levels and flow of sediment within the lake; and
3) lake size and configuration options, based on the two above assessments and other factors.
The Lake Accotink Project Team hosted an Open House last summer to explain the scope of their work to the community. They are now ready to host the next Open House with Supervisor Sizemore Heizer on Saturday, June 6, 2026 from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. at Kings Glen Elementary School, 5401 Danbury Forest Drive, Springfield, VA 22152.

County Nears Completion of Major Streetlight LED Conversion
A major, multi-year project to convert Fairfax County streetlights to high-efficiency LED fixtures is nearing the finish line. It was implemented to deliver significant energy savings, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to ensure lighting levels to roadways meet current standards.
Dominion Energy installs, owns, operates, and maintains about 96% of the 60,000 streetlights in Fairfax County. Under a coordinated plan implemented in 2019, the LED Conversion Program is converting more than 56,000 outdated mercury vapor, high-pressure sodium, and metal halide fixtures to LEDs.
As of March 2026, approximately 93% or about 52,100 streetlights within Dominion Energy’s service area, have been upgraded to LED lights. Combined with other streetlight conversions within the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative service area, these upgrades have reduced energy use for streetlight operations by an estimated 56%!

Virginia Drought is Worst in Nearly 20 Years
Despite some recent rain, Virginia is experiencing its most severe drought since 2007, and Fairfax County is now under a Drought Warning advisory — meaning a significant drought event is considered imminent. Prolonged below‑normal rainfall, low soil moisture, record‑low streamflows in some river basins, and declining groundwater levels — especially in Northern Virginia —are all contributing to the current conditions. Learn more at the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality.
Residents are urged to conserve water by cutting back on outdoor use, fixing leaks, and running only full loads in dishwashers and washing machines. Dry conditions also increase fire risk, particularly from improperly discarded smoking materials, so smokers should follow “Sink It or Soak It!” guidance to fully extinguish cigarette butts. Stay informed about changing conditions and related hazards by signing up for Fairfax Alerts at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/alerts.

Braddock District Land Use and Environment Committee Meeting
The Braddock Land Use and Environment Committee will hold a virtual public meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. All interested members of the community are invited to participate in the online meeting by using the Teams Link, or by dialing in to (571) 429-5982, Phone Conference ID: 730 922 969#.
The agenda will include a presentation on the Fairfax Suburban Center Redevelopment concept, Government Center Revisioning, and a review of proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment language for the development of land along Olley Lane, among other land use topics.
| | |
Update on Concept for Proposed Development on Olley Lane
On May 4, 2026, Fairfax County residents joined Supervisor Sizemore Heizer for an update from Fairfax County’s Department of Planning and Development (DPD) on the proposed development of a portion of the Church of the Good Shepherd’s property at 9350 Braddock Road, along Olley Lane. This public meeting was hosted by DPD to provide residents with an opportunity to pose additional questions about the proposal. A link to the video presentation may be found at Church of the Good Shepherd SSPA 2023-II-3F.
Background and Update on the Olley Lane proposal - On April 11, 2023, the Board of Supervisors authorized a potential Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Church of the Good Shepherd, to consider developing a portion of the Church’s property along Olley Lane with single-family houses at a higher density than is currently planned and zoned.
This land is currently zoned R-1, which allows residential development at one house per acre. Since that time, the proposed 3.14-acre development site has been subdivided from the Church’s property. Last year, a contract purchaser began speaking with community members about a revised development concept for two to three homes per acre on this subdivided property.
A Comprehensive Plan Amendment would allow for an increase to two to three dwellings per acre. At the time of authorization, the Board deferred active work on the amendment, citing the need for additional public outreach and consideration of changes to the proposal. Since then, the developer conducted more community outreach and held neighborhood meetings to share the revised development concept.
Given this progress, on August 26, 2025, Supervisor Walkinshaw asked the Board to reprioritize the formal Plan amendment process to an active Tier II status. The Tier II designation meant that the Department of Planning and Development could begin reviewing the proposed Amendment as County resources became available. Public hearings for the Amendment are scheduled for July 15, 2026 at the Planning Commission Meeting and the Board of Supervisors on August 25, 2026. More details will be provided closer to the dates of those hearings.
