Fairfax — Learn about Old Lee Hwy. Multimodal Plan
Fairfax City transportation staff will share the revised preliminary plan for the Old Lee Highway multimodal improvements project during an open house. It’s set for Thursday, Sept. 30, from 6:30-9:30 p.m., at the Sherwood Center, 3740 Old Lee Hwy. in Fairfax.
The public is invited to view project designs, discuss ideas with staff and leave written comments. This is a drop-in event, with no formal presentation. Capacity will be limited to create a safe environment, so attendees are asked to stagger arrival times. Masks are required, regardless of vaccination status.
Help Stock Britepaths’ Pantry
Nonprofit Britepaths helps provide food for local families in need, but it needs the community’s help to keep its shelves stocked. Currently, it’s especially low on cereal, cooking oil, jam/jelly, pancake mix, syrup, laundry detergent, cleaning supplies and sponges. Reusable grocery bags for distributing food are also needed.
For more details and an Amazon link, go to bit.ly/BritepathsDonateFood.
Britepaths is at 3959 Pender Drive in Fairfax. It can usually accept donations, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., but people should call 703-273-8829 or email info@britepaths.org in advance to arrange a drop-off.
