There will be no opportunity at the meeting for public comment. Therefore I am soliciting your input ahead of the meeting to help me accurately present the Dranesville experience with snow removal. I would like to hear about problems you had, your suggestions on how the snow removal proceess can be improved, as well as any comments, positive or negative, that you believe should be considered.

SNOW REMOVAL COMMENTS
or send a letter to:
Supervisor John Foust
McLean Governmental Center
1437 Balls Hill Road
McLean, VA 22101
ATTN: SNOW REMOVAL COMMENTS
We will not respond individually to each of these communications. However, we will consider each one as we develop our comprehensive response to VDOT on snow removal in the Dranesville district. In the limited time of the actual Snow Summit, I will be unable to address individual street complaints. I will, however, raise those issues that were broadly based or especially egregious, and relay some of the trends we have observed. Outside of the Snow Summit meeting, we will present the specific issues to VDOT for their consideration and planning purposes.
Thank you for taking the time to let us know what you think.
