Hi Cherrydalers -
It’s time to Cherrydale to select another project for the Arlington Neighborhood Advisory Committee (ArNAC) program.
Though ArNAC (which use to be known as Neighborhood Conservation or NC), Cherrydale has been able to get the county to add sidewalks and streetlights to parts of Kenmore Street, 20th Street, 18th Street, Stafford Street, and Utah Street, and Cherrydale is about get a wider sidewalk on Monroe Street and a new sidewalk on Quebec Street. Cherrydale has also been able to get the county to build the Oak Grove Park playground, and we were about to get a new playground at Cherrydale Park.
But now the Arlington County Department of Parks and Recreation is going to build a new playground at Cherrydale Park with its funds, so it’s time for Cherrydalers to nominate a new project.
And we need your help.
You can nominate a sidewalk project or a park project, or another neighborhood improvement project. If you’re nominating a sidewalk project, you need to get 60 percent of the affected property owners to sign a petition. If you’re nominating a park project or some other kind of neighborhood project, all you need is a group of enthusiastic supporters. Contact mr or our Cherrydale ArNAC representative Errin Scialpi if you have questions or ideas, and we’ll walk you through the process and try to answer questions as best we can.
We’ll be presenting all our nominated projects at our next meeting of Cherrydale Citizens Association on September 16, and then voting for our favorite project at the end of the presentations. So bring your nominations and your supporters. The more developed your vision the better.
We look forward to hearing from you.
