WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Highways, in conjunction with the
City of Fairfax, is undertaking to provide for the construction of a one-way street
system in the City of Fairfax; and
WHEREAS, this highway improvement project is necessary to meet the
demands of the present traffic; and
WHEREAS, the City is interested in expediting this improvement project
so that bids may be received and contracts awarded as soon as possible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, by its previous Resolution of March 3, 1970
requested the Virginia Department of Highways to proceed with the project in the
most feasible manner; and
WHEREAS, it appears that this construction will require the removal of
certain trees; and
WHEREAS, the Virginia Department of Highways has recommended to the
City that certain construction be temporarily eliminated following the award of
the construction contract, which would preserve the aforementioned trees; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Highway Administration has not concurred with
this suggestion of the Virginia Department of Highways; and
WHEREAS, this action by the Federal Highway Administration will result
in further delays and the destruction of the trees;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Fairfax requests that the Virginia Department of Highways use its best efforts
to obtain concurrence from the Federal Highway Administration so that the work
may proceed as soon as possible and the trees remain.
Adopted: February 23, 1972.
