Important Questions to Consider

How do the draft proposals:

1. Ensure that the parkland needs in underserved areas, such as
Dale City and Woodbridge, are satisfied?

2. Encourage and ensure broad participation and partnerships
with citizens, nonprofits, business and others?

3. Ensure that the County recognizes and takes advantage of existing opportunities to secure parkland and open space at little or no cost to taxpayers?

4. Ensure development of a planned countywide trail network and ensure that the plan is thoroughly vetted by citizens?

5. Ensure that parkland and open space are protected over time?

6. Ensure that the County can compete successfully for state and federal funding for parkland and open space?

7. Provide a substantive improvement over the existing Parks and Open Space Chapter?
