In this Go Prince William County, Va Issue…

WOW, I have might never have had back-to-back ☀️s in the forecast…that’s the line-up for Friday and Saturday. Crazy number of events in the Nightlife & Libations section: even though it is September, every weekend is now Octoberfest? Manassas goes for the record of how many event listings they can have on one single day. The weather’s good (and ☀️), so get out before the cold breaks!

Quick Bites

  • Prince William Seeks Resident Input on Traffic Safety Upgrades

    Prince William County’s Department of Transportation will hold three public meetings to present and gather feedback on proposed traffic‑calming projects in the Neabsco and Gainesville districts. Plans include a raised crosswalk, a speed hump, and a high‑visibility crosswalk upgrade at Cordell Avenue and Concord Drive; a speed hump on Hoffman Drive; and a speed hump on Lightner Road. After public input, the county will work with residents to collect petitions and then advance the proposals through formal review by the Virginia Department of Transportation and consideration by the Board of County Supervisors before any installations occur.

  • Prince William’s Drone Team Marks Milestones in Emergency Response and Outreach

    Prince William County Police spotlight their sUAS team, a part‑time unit of 16 FAA‑licensed pilots formed in 2021 that supports searches for missing persons, event security, and interagency operations. The team provided critical aerial views during March 2024 wildfires that affected areas including Marine Corps Base Quantico and Locust Shade Park, and it assists other county agencies with tasks like flood monitoring. Officers complete formal training and monthly practice, and drone use follows Virginia law, which requires a warrant or qualifying exceptions. (PWC)

  • As Pool Season Ends, County Urges Residents to Drain Water the Right Way

    Prince William County advises pool owners to dechlorinate, test for zero chlorine, and drain slowly over grass rather than into storm drains, which carry untreated water to local streams and the Chesapeake Bay. Saltwater pools should be discharged to the sanitary sewer system. Improper draining can harm aquatic life and violate stormwater rules; report concerns to [email protected] or 703-792-7070. (PWC)
