🗺️ 🏡💡A Zoning TED talk and Idea Share
Think zoning isn't exciting? Well get ready to have your mind blown 😆 Our next meeting will feature an exciting TED-like talk on zoning and housing (and get audience feedback before turning the story into a video). Then we'll wrap up with an "idea incubator" session, where we'll share project ideas and give/get feedback. Need inspiration? Check out how Jason Roberts transformed his neighborhood in Dallas.
 
And mark your calendars for...

📽️ 📉 🤝 Join or Die Screening at  Meridian HS
Super excited to announce the *Falls Church premiere* of Pete & Rebecca Davis' film JOIN OR DIE. First screened at SXSW in 2023, the documentary focuses on community in America, the loneliness epidemic, and Robert Putnam famed "Bowling Alone" research, which tracks the decline of American communities, and lights a path out of our democracy's present crisis.
Save the date-- it's a must see!
 
Before we go... in City News:
Priority Bike Route Improvements-- the City is exploring 6 streets to prioritize bike lane improvements.  Check out this document to see the streets on the list, and check out this memo if you want to read 58 pages of a consultant's study on the state of biking in Falls Church :)
 
Lunar New Year-- Celebrate the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Dragon this weekend with festivities around the city, including performances at Eden Center. It's expected to be busy, so it could be a good excuse to check out how to bike to Eden Center (and then give us feedback about your biking experience)!
