The Manassas Park Governing Body will meet on Tuesday to review several vital items impacting regional development, transportation, and public safety.
Here’s what residents can expect:
Mayfield Crossing Development Presentation
The Governing Body will hear a presentation from DR Horton and legal representatives about the proposed Mayfield Crossing development, located at the corner of Manassas Drive and Signal View Drive in Prince William County.
The site is currently undeveloped, and the developer has submitted a second rezoning application to Prince William County. Manassas Park staff, who have been engaged in the planning process since 2023, submitted comments on April 1, 2025, voicing the city’s priorities and concerns. The current concept includes:
- 180 townhomes (a reduction from the original 288)
- Enhanced pedestrian connections to nearby parks and trails
- Open space amenities like a dog park, playground, and recreation fields
- Off-site improvements such as underground utilities and sidewalk expansions
- City officials will review how the project may affect traffic and community character.
Rail with Trail Study Moves Forward Without Federal Funding
After failing to secure a federal grant last year, Manassas Park, the City of Manassas, and Prince William County are moving forward with a self-funded Rail with Trail Phase 1 Study.
- The study, with a total cost of $268,600, will examine the feasibility of constructing a 3-mile multi-use trail running alongside the Virginia Railway Express (VRE) Manassas Line—from Downtown Manassas to the Bull Run Trail in Fairfax County. Manassas Park will contribute $90,000 toward the study.
- The study will evaluate potential alignments, estimate construction costs, and include public input. It is part of a larger long-term effort listed in the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority’s Six-Year Program and the Visualize 2045 National Capital Trail Network.
- The goal is to complete the study in time to submit a joint funding application for the next NVTA funding cycle.
Crime Solvers Program Presentation
Manassas Park residents will get an in-depth look at the Manassas City / Manassas Park Crime Solvers program, which allows citizens to anonymously report crime tips to local police.
Key highlights include:
- A 24-hour confidential tip line (703-330-0330) and online P3 Tip Portal
- Cash rewards of up to $1,000 for tips that lead to arrests
- A volunteer board that manages fundraising, program promotion, and reward distribution
- Founded in 1987 and expanded to Manassas Park in 2012, Crime Solvers is a community-based, nonprofit organization working to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the public. Both cities’ police departments endorse the program and relies on donations to operate.
The meeting will take place at City Hall, 100 Park Central Plaza, Manassas Park, on Tuesday, April 15, 2025, at 7:00 p.m. inside the city hall board meeting room
