The group will hold their April meeting (April 19th) meeting in the City in the Dogwood Room. There may be some interest in starting a chapter in the City. • Andrea reported on the Play Streets event that took place on Pennsylvania Ave on April 2nd. This was the kickoff event for the program and was well attended by approximately 100 adults and kids. • Steve reported on the Pace Car Program. A pace car decal design contest will be posted on the City’s website this week. It will encourage artists to submit a proposed design for the decal to be used for the program. The deadline for submissions will be May 1 and the CACT will select the winning decal design. 4. Staff Reports • Stephanie reported that she had been working to clarify the Lincoln Ave traffic calming process with residents to indicate the City would install light solutions in the spring but that the street would still need to compete with other streets for heavy solutions based upon the priority ranking. • Stephanie also reported on the S Washington St/S Maple Ave signal project. Property owners on the Fairfax County side of Route 29 are concerned about the elimination curb cuts and the design for the Cavalier Trail intersection with Route 29. • Jeff reported that Bike to Work Day (BTWD) is approaching on Friday May 19th and that registration online is now available. The Falls Church Pit Stop will be the same as last year,  which is on the W&OD trail at Little Falls Street. Volunteers are needed for setup and T-shirt distribution. • Jeff announced that a design workshop on the proposed W&OD pedestrian/bike bridge over Rt. 29 will be held on April 5th at 6 pm at Yorktown High School in Arlington. VDOT is funding the project as part of the I-66 Multimodal project. • Jeff indicated that an on-call contractor is working on the topographic surveys on N Lincoln Ave and N West St and should complete this work early this month. Design plans for N Maple Ave should be received this month also. 5.
