A Manassas man has died following a crash in Fauquier County.
Virginia State Police press release | Virginia State Police Senior Trooper T. Green is investigating a two-vehicle fatal crash in Fauquier County. The crash occurred January 7, 2020 at 12:56 p.m. Route 55 (John Marshall Highway) at 300 feet east of Route 729 (Carrington Road).
Snowy conditions on the roads forced a late start to the first meeting of the Stafford Board of Supervisors of 2020.
Scheduled at 3 p.m., the meeting began about 15 minutes late due to the late arrival of new Griffis-Widewater District Supervisor Tinesha Allen, who blamed the delay on the weather. It was Allen’s first meeting as a member of the Board of Supervisors. She unseated former Griffis-Widewater Supervisor Jack Cavalier in a recount election last fall.
Earlier today, we told you about some Virginia Railway Express riders who were left out in the cold as they tried to make it home during yesterday’s snowstorm.
The commuter railroad released a statement about why that happened. And now OmniRide, the region’s commuter bus service provider, says it also fell short yesterday in its efforts to provide bus service to federal workers who live in Prince William and Stafford counties.
Some Virginia Railway Express riders were turned away yesterday, leaving them searching for another way home in the snow.
VRE email | The early release by the Office of Personnel Management yesterday created extreme crowding on the first southbound trains on both lines. While we moved our longest (8-car) train sets to operate on the earliest schedules, the demand was greater than we could accommodate. This resulted in the need to deny boarding to some and created crowded conditions on board the trains. The midday trains made slower than normal trips because of the extra time needed to allow passengers to detrain at their destination stations.
Press release | The Lucy Burns Museum opens to the public on Saturday, January 25, 2020, with a grand opening celebration scheduled for May 9, 2020.
To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment in 2020 the museum presents the story of the imprisonment of the 72 Suffragists at the Occoquan Workhouse in 1917 — and an event on these grounds that marked a turning point in the Women’s suffrage movement to secure voting rights for all women in the United States.
