Stafford County Government: “Stafford County has launched a new Neighborhood Services program to assist residents better. The program acts as a liaison between neighborhoods and Stafford County, helping better assist and assess neighborhood issues. It is like a personal concierge service for neighborhoods.”
“The Neighborhood Services program’s ultimate goal is to form partnerships with neighborhoods, providing them with the resources and knowledge they need for a thriving community. The program also seeks to actively engage neighborhoods to participate in all aspects of improving their communities.”
OmniRide: “OmniRide held a ribbon cutting for new buses on August 23 at the OmniRide Western Facility in Manassas. Members of the Board of Commissioners were in attendance. Remarks were made by Board Chair Victor Angry, OmniRide Executive Director Bob Schneider, and Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC) Executive Director Kate Mattice.”
“Eight of the 15 commuter buses and one of the four local buses were purchased through NVTC’s Commuter Choice program. The commuter buses will be used to serve the Staffordboro Commuter Lot – with transportation to Washington, D.C, and the Pentagon. These buses include custom designed upholstery, passenger seatbelts, charging stations, brighter destination signs, and an on-board air purifier.”
Prince William police: “Fatal Crash Investigation – On August 22 at 10:32PM, investigators with the Crash Investigation Unit responded to the area of Lake Jackson Dr. and Hillcrest Dr. [near] Manassas (20111) to investigate a single-vehicle crash. The investigation revealed the operator of a motorcycle was traveling southbound on Lake Jackson Dr. at a high rate of speed when the operator lost control of the motorcycle while navigating a turn in the roadway. The motorcycle left the roadway and traveled up an embankment, where the operator separated and struck a tree. The operator was transported to an area hospital where he later died on August 23.”
“Identified: The driver of the 2022 Yamaha motorcycle was identified as Muhammad MUBASHAR, 30, of Manassas”
Ann Wheeler’s anxiousness to schedule a vote on the controversial Prince William Digital Gateway rezoning before the Planning Office has even completed its review is hardly surprising. She has been in the tank for this project from the outset, and her blatant subservience to corporate masters was largely responsible for her electoral defeat.
Now shift the focus to her accomplices, who have thus far evaded the same level of accountability.
