The Aurora Highlands Park Project will bring needed improvements to the Nelly Custis Park. Upgrades will include correcting drainage problems with new storm water management, removal of invasive plants, improving ADA access to the park overall, and new playground equipment for school kids. Additional shading will be brought in with new plantings. New furnishings to the park will cap off the project, which will have a budget of $789,222.
The Barcroft Street Improvement Project will focus on updates to Barcroft Street, starting at 9th Street over to the W&OD Trail. The work includes the completion of missing curbs, gutters and sidewalks, as well as street milling and paving as needed. There will also be a trail connector added between the street dead end and the trail. Improvements to the storm water drainage will also be undertaken and new LED street lights installed. This project has been given $432,561 from the conservation bond.
Highview Park will also benefit from a beautification project, primarily with Calloway United Methodist Church Cemetery improvements. A new perimeter fence will be installed along with a new bench, trash receptacle, and interpretive sign. A public easement over this historic district will provide public access to the site. The project has been given $129,625.
Shirlington will get a new neighborhood sign. The sign will be designed by the community which will also determine the location, with the assistance of County staff. The project covers the cost of the sign design, fabrication, and installation and will include landscaping once it is put into place. The Arlington County Board allocated $12,500 for this project.
