They are providing important services to our community right now and want people to know what we can do for them and how they can help us.\nRepresentatives from Dominion Power will share preliminary plans for expanding the electric substation at Hayes & Fern St\, which may include giving the County the now vacant contaminated lot at 18th & Ives for the grassy mew next to the substation on Hayes St.\n\nLike June\, the July monthly meeting will also be virtual\, via Zoom.

Pre-registration is not required\, but if you do\, you can easily add it to your calendar. \nWe expect it to go well\, but there may still be hiccups. Our bylaws did not envision virtual meetings\, so we will not be performing any official actions such as making motions and taking votes.

SUMMARY:Moving Livability 22202 Forward Zoom Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Save the date to join the three 22202 civic associations – Arlington Ridge\, Aurora Highlands\, Crystal City – July 30 from 7-9 pm for a virtual Zoom webinar on the status of our collective Livability 22202 efforts. Much has happened since our first Livability 22202 Framework document was published in November 2019\, and we have gotten much positive feedback from the County and developers for our united presentation. It has become a powerful\, useful tool endorsed by the Arlington County Civic Federation as well. \nFrom January to March 2020 we have organized three workshops on Housing and Open Space and begun work on two other areas – the Future of the Crystal City Underground and Route 1: Promoting East-West Accessibility. The purpose of this webinar is to share the work done by the four Livability committees\, as well as information on a number of related Big Picture issues\, and begin the process of community engagement and feedback. Following the July 30 presentations\, there will be a three-week period for comment and a subsequent meeting for further discussion and conclusions. \nYou are invited to a Zoom meeting.\nWhen: Jul 30\, 2020 7:00 -9:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada) \nRegister in advance for this meeting:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIkcOqrpzwoG9BDh-aWAesTM1EIXvA7RBNb \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
