CCAC Meeting Recap – Transportation, Transportation, Transportation
Lots discussed in last night’s CCAC meeting.
Rather than pull highlights, please read all the tweets, after the jump. This meeting highlighted more than many the value of being present, having a voice, and choosing to make the time to attend.
- Crozet Express – coming August 2017?
- Transportation changes coming to Harris Teeter area. Safe?
- Eastern Avenue at least 8-10 years away
- There was a suggestion by a CCAC member/Cory Farm resident to relocate Eastern Ave from Cory Farm to Liberty Hall.
- Downtown Crozet should be a transportation priority
- Let’s not be a strictly auto-centric place.
Kevin – we aren’t going to solve our transportation problems solely by building more lanes. (amen) #CCAC0217

CCAC Meeting – 15 February 2017
Local government, folks.
I suspect this will be a lot of conversation about how to make transportation in Crozet better. I’ll start:
- Better infrastructure that supports current and future traffic
- Sidewalks and bike lanes to make walking/riding less intimidating
- Parking plan for downtown Crozet
- Trails interconnecting neighborhoods should be a requirement. Even retro-actively. (interconnectivity is part of Albemarle’s plan)
- Bring in companies/jobs to encourage business development in downtown Crozet
- Stop referring to Crozet as a “town.” Words matter. We aren’t a town. Â We could be.

CCAC Meeting Recap – 18 January 2017
Short agenda, relatively short meeting, punctuated by post-meeting beer at Smoked. Good meeting last night, despite the very few members of the public in attendance.
- Did you know Albemarle County population will increase by 50K by 2040?
- Three openings on the CCAC! Get involved if you can.
- This VA Book Fest program in Crozet looks great.
- Me: I’d like to see more CCAC encouragement of economic development
- Parking cars was an issue last night for CCAC members (I rode my bicycle)
- At least $75K for a transportation project. How should that money be spent?
Editorial comment: of the 9 members of public, 2 from Gazette, 1 from Crozet today, me, 1 staff, 2 regulars, 1 newish. #CCAC0117

CCAC Meeting Recap – Robotic Cars, Property Rights, Trails & More
Last night’s Crozet Community Advisory Committee (CCAC) meeting at the Meadows covered lots of ground, as always.
Highlights
- Perrone Robotics is seeking (and CCAC supported) a proffer amendment so they can move into the lumberyard. Read the tweets, but this could be a massively good thing for Crozet.
- Net vs Gross Density discussion was short.
- Great conversation about trails, trails’ value, the amazing Crozet Trails Crew, community involvement
- Don’t be a NIMBY; these meetings matter to the community, not just to that thing that affects your own back yard. And those things that matter to you? They were probably discussed (and have been discussed) for years.
- CCAC outreach to the community. My quick thought: yes, I think CCAC could push more outreach, but ultimately being a citizen sucks, is work, and takes sacrifice.
- The Crozet Gazette has the video of the CCAC meeting.
- Charlottesville Tomorrow has a good story about the meeting.
Please. Click all the way through, start at the bottom, and make your way back up.
