Description
In this edition of Around Arlington, the County Board kicks off 2017 with it's traditional Organizational Meeting, nominating Jay Fisette for Board Chair, and Katie Cristol as Vice-Chair. It's also time to get ready for winter weather, and in a new "Street Beat" segment, we look back on a year's worth of paving efforts. The county will be closed twice in the coming week for MLK Day and the Presidential Inauguration. And on Sunday, January 15th, the 48th annual Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial tribute will take place at Wakefield High School.
A
The
Arlington
County
Board,
swung
into
action
for
the
new
year
by
elected.
A
new
chair
and
vice-chair
for
2017
will
tell
you
all
about
that
coming
up,
but
first,
as
we
head
into
winter
here
in
Arlington,
make
sure
you're
prepared
for
the
worst
weather.
That
comes
our
way
when
storms
are
in
the
forecast
to
help
plows
navigate
our
busy
Arlington
streets.
A
We're
encouraging
drivers
to
park
on
the
odd-numbered
side
of
the
street,
where
feasible
parking
on
the
even
side
is
ok
to
just
work
with
your
neighbors
to
pick
a
side
of
the
street
in
advance
of
a
significant
cell
event.
We're
also
going
to
be
piloting
a
new
program
this
year
to
put
more
plows
on
the
streets
during
snowfalls,
greater
than
6
inches,
to
learn
more
about
the
county's
plan
for
snow
events,
watch
our
new
snow

Over
the
warmer
months,
our
crews
were
busy
at
work,
paving
several
streets
in
Arlington
to
ensure
our
roadways
are
in
safe
and
good
condition.
You
may
have
noticed
paving
crews
in
and
around
your
neighborhood
and
here,
to
tell
us
more-
is
Harry
Wong
bureau
chief
for
water
streets,
hi

Thank
you.
So

can
you

the
arlington
county
board
started
2017
with
his
traditional
organizational
meeting.
Jay
cassette
was
named
board
chair
for
2017
and
katie
crystal
was
named
the
new
board
vice
chair.
This
will
be
mr.
facets,
fifth
term
as
chair
in
his
remarks.
Mr.
facet
noted
that
2017
is
likely
to
bring
dramatic
unsettling
changes,
but
Arlington
he
said,
can
serve
as
a
model.
In
these
times.
It's
said.
D
That
the
only
constant
in
life
is
change,
but
the
pace
and
impacts
have
changed
very
greatly.
This
year
is
likely
to
bring
dramatic
unsettling
changes
in
our
national
government
and
on
the
international
scene.
Arlington
will
feel
some
effects,
but
will
respond,
as
we
have
before
in
times
of
turbulence
and
periods
of
more
gradual
change,
with
sensible
actions
inspired
by
our
shared
community
vision
and
shaped
through
thoughtful
dialogue
and
open
debate,
Arlington
will
continue
to
strive
to
create
a
more
sustainable,
equitable
and
a
healthy
community,
a
community
that
works
and
we'll
do
it
together.
