Our key recommendations for the proposed Mayfield Crossing development are summarized above<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

On August 28, 2023, a rezoning application (Plan Number: REZ2024-00007; Mayfield Crossing)<\/a> was submitted to Prince William County for a proposed new residential development at the intersection of Manassas Drive and Signal View Drive, just outside the City of Manassas Park. \u00a0 The applicant seeks to rezone a forested 20.56-acre parcel adjacent to Signal Hill Park to develop a residential community with up to 288 dwelling units.\u00a0 On September 5, Active Prince William submitted the following initial feedback on the proposed development:<\/em><\/p>\n

We have reviewed the\u00a0Mayfield Crossing Rezoning package <\/a>[8\/28\/2023] (corner of Manassas Dr. and Signal View Dr.) posted through the PWC DAPS.\u00a0 While we are disappointed to see this wooded lot adjacent to the Signal Hill Park be developed, we hope you consider the following comments and feedback as this project moves through the rezoning process.<\/p>\n

Our concerns are regarding 1) bike\/pedestrian infrastructure along Manassas Dr and Signal View Dr (connection to Signal Hill Park), 2) ingress\/egress from the new development, and 3) the viewshed from Signal Hill Park\/Signal View Dr<\/strong>.\u00a0 Above is a diagram of our recommendations which are explained in detail below:<\/p>\n

Below is a diagram of the current language for Pedestrian Circulation in the rezoning package.\u00a0 The draft <\/em>Manassas Park Active Transportation Plan<\/a> calls for a shared-use path along Manassas Dr and a sidewalk along Signal View Dr next to the development.<\/p>\n
