The Crozet Trails Crew is awesome!! The trails are great. Most of them should be kept as rustic-style nature trails which are mowed and clipped (a great activity for all trail users, so put some clippers in your pocket as you head out and clip the overhanging briers or branches), but a few sections, closer to Crozet Park, would make for nice multi-use paths for all accessibility levels to enjoy.
The trail systems in Arlington, VA started being developed in teh 1950's after WWII. Today they impart incredible quality of life assets to that city. We need to have the vision to produce those multi-modal, and multi-mixed use format(s) across the Crozet Growth area to meet long-term community and natural resource and environmental goals. It's particularly difficult to "use" the trail systems in Crozet today because they do not invite us to a "turkey trot", a walk to a soccer or little league game, a friend's house, a public garden or just a desirable point to point trail walk.
I'm not keen on paving the trail, but I understand the desire of those who use strollers and wheelchairs to have access. Might it be possible to use something other than asphalt -- an environmentally damaging material? Could we install permeable pavers along a section of the trail?
People value the trails as a community asset that both supports environmental conservation, walkability (non car transportation), and connectivity. We should continue to invest in them.

The draft plan includes a split land use designation for White Gate Farm (TMP 56E-2). This designation aims to continue the pattern of development currently in Wickham Pond. Changing this property's designation would support broader housing choices within Crozet and infill development that connects the Park Ridge Drive corridor to Crozet's easternmost neighborhoods. <br><br>An increase of 49-143 additional units over the 2010 Master Plan could be developed under the revised designation.

The draft plan designates parcels east of Eastern Avenue, south of Westhall Drive and north of Lickinghole Basin as Neighborhood Density Residential and Parks & Green Systems.<br><br>Development in this area has occurred at a lower density than shown in the 2010 Master Plan, and the Eastern Avenue corridor provides a boundary between areas with different development patterns. The portion of Urban Density Residential east of Eastern Avenue was changed to Neighborhood Density Residential to reflect current development and improve legibility of the land use map. The Greenspace boundary was also changed to reflect the actual location of environmental features. <br><br>An increase of 10-20 additional units over the 2010 Master Plan could be developed under the revised designation.
