Listening, Reflecting, and Serving Fairfax City: My Vote on the George Snyder Trail Project – Perspective from City of Fairfax Council Member Rachel McQuillen 

I know the decision to cancel the George Snyder Trail project has stirred strong feelings, and I want to share why I voted as I did. My decision was guided by a careful review of the project’s full history, extensive public outreach, and consideration of long-term impacts. Throughout the process, concerns from residents, particularly those living closest to the site, remained unresolved. Public feedback was overwhelmingly opposed to the project.
