A meeting of the Ravenwood Park Citizens Association (RPCA) Monday evening to discuss a proposal for “traffic calming devices” on Patrick Henry Drive was anything but calm.

Several local residents who opposed the devices repeatedly yelled during the meeting, interrupting the speakers. One man screamed that the voting process was “patently unconstitutional” before storming out of the room.

From Fairfax County:

The Fairfax County Public Library Summer Reading Program encourages children and teens to read for pleasure during summer vacation. It is held in cooperation with the Fairfax County Public School system.

People who use Fairfax County athletic fields on a casual basis are encouraged to come to a Park Authority Board hearing July 13 on a proposal to limit the number of “walk-ons” from 40 to 20. That includes spectators, as well as players.

If the rule change passes, people who like to play pick-up soccer games and can’t join regular leagues would find themselves virtually shut out of county fields. And that’s not fair, when our country parks are supposed to be available to the public.
