Tuesday, August 25—Fairfax Town Hall meeting
Gov. McDonnell will be discussing his plans to solve the transportation crisis at a Fairfax town hall meeting on August 25 from 7:00pm-8:30pm, at the Center of Innovative Technology Auditorium, 2214 Rock Hill Road, Suite 300, Herndon. This is a very poor location for a Town Hall meeting. It is one of the least accessible locations in the county unless you drive a car, as there is no public transportation that serves the site. According to a FABB member who recently checked it out, there is bike parking in the enclosed garage.
