2022 Year In Review

2022 YEAR IN REVIEW

Executive Director’s Note

Friends,

In October, we scored a big win with the unanimous Montgomery County Council vote for the Thrive 2050 General Plan. Our campaign for Thrive is illustrative of what CSG accomplishes with great staff possessing strong policy expertise and advocacy skills. The win reflects our commitment to developing relationships with decision makers, building strong partnerships with allies, and working with terrific local advocates.

You’ll see in the pages that follow the many land use, transportation, housing and environmental issues where we’ve played an important role across our region – ranging from affordable housing regionally to locally such as the Chevy Chase DC plan, advocacy for transit-oriented communities in Fairfax and Arlington, safer streets and better buses, and equitable economic development for Prince George’s.

We are particularly proud of winning the commitment of regional officials to slashing greenhouse gas emissions from transportation by 50% by 2030. Climate change is an existential challenge, and CSG will continue to lead the fight to change our land use, housing, and transportation policies to meet it. We simply cannot continue this record of success without you. So, I hope you will give generously to our end-of-year fundraising campaign!

Thank you for your support!

We Are Changemakers!

We were honored to be awarded the Washington Urban Land Institute Changemaker Award in June for our leadership in advocating and shaping a transit-oriented future for our region. We were particularly touched by the testimonials offered by Katie Cristol, Chair of the Arlington Board, former Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, and John Torti of Torti Gallas + Partners.

Celebrating 25 Years!

Over 150 of you, our supporters, joined us in May for a lovely, COVID-safe rooftop celebration of CSG’s 25 years of success. It was a grand reunion after two years of virtual events. The venue, overlooking Union Station and the Capitol Building, could not have felt more appropriate for the role CSG has played in shaping the future of the region. Thank you to all of you, including our founders who attended, our board members who told our story – Dan Reed, Lee Farmer, and Rodney Harrell – and our host committee and corporate sponsors. Thank you as well to our event volunteers.

Ward3Vision Wins A Local Planning Award!

We are pleased that CSG’s longtime local partner, Ward3Vision, won the Outstanding Citizen Plan 2022 from the George Washington Chapter of Lambda Alpha International. In their letter to Ron Eichner of Ward3Vision (and CSG Champions Council member), they recognize the group’s educational efforts including forums, design concepts, and partnerships that helped win public support and adoption of the Chevy Chase Small Area Plan.

2022’s top stories

A Win for

Climate Action

We won a historic vote at the region’s Transportation Planning Board to reduce emissions from transportation by 50% by 2030 and pursue climate strategies that include more housing near transit, walk and bike access to transit, and better bus service. The vote was a direct result of CSG’s two year campaign, the support of 47 partner groups, and advocacy by our supporters.

We Passed Thrive 2050!

It took three years, and great work with our Montgomery for All team and partners, but we won Montgomery County Council approval of Thrive 2050, a new general plan. Thrive embraces smart growth as the most sustainable and equitable way to grow and provide opportunities for everyone. Use the QR code to check out our Thrive video!

Safer Streets for Bailey’s Crossroads

Bailey’s Crossroads/Culmore is home to a large immigrant population where many rely on walking, biking, and the bus. Teaming with immigrant advocacy group CASA and local residents, we held rallies, press conferences, a walkability survey, and on-site audit. We secured a meeting with Fairfax County and VDOT with 120 residents, new speed and crossing studies, and near-term fixes, but we’re pressing for more!

A new plan for Chevy Chase DC

Working closely with local advocates at Ward3Vision and architect Matt Bell of Perkins-Eastman, we helped win the Chevy Chase Small Area Plan. The plan includes more homes, an enhanced main street, and a new library with affordable homes. This is a big win for a more inclusive Ward 3, making room for more affordable housing and access to good schools and opportunity.

Transit-oriented communities

Smart

A New Plan for Silver Spring

We threw ourselves into the planning for downtown Silver Spring and adjacent communities, sharing recommendations, getting folks engaged, and testifying. The County Council approved the plan which allows for more housing downtown, improved pedestrian and bicyclist safety, and a better street tree canopy. A follow-on study will look at missing middle housing opportunities in adjacent neighborhoods.

Adelphi Sector Plan

We navigated a complex political environment to offer and secure a win-win solution for more development and housing close to a future Purple Line Station at the University of Maryland, along with partial preservation of Guilford Woods.

Huntington Metro Plan

We connected WMATA, developers, conservationists, affordable housing advocates, and Fairfax County, helping to find the win-win. The plan, approved this fall, includes retail, office, and residential, affordable housing, safer walking and biking, and a community green above a new bus station linking bus rapid transit and Metrorail.

Pentagon City and Langston Boulevard

We supported more housing along Langston Blvd and in the updated Pentagon City plan, particularly at the River House. After the county’s Metro stations, Arlington’s commercial corridors offer the greatest opportunity for more housing, and mediumdensity redevelopment along Langston Blvd will provide housing, new street connections, a safe bikeway, parks and plazas.

growth means community commitment to creating walkable, inclusive, mixed-use, transit-accessible places

Affordable housing

Smart growth means using every tool we have to ensure people have safe, affordable places to live

Housing at the Chevy Chase MD Library

We sprung into action when we learned the County Executive decided to renovate rather than redevelop the library, losing the opportunity for affordable housing a short walk from a Purple Line station. Teaming with Action in Montgomery for a 100-person rally and hundreds of emails, we won a unanimous County Council vote requiring housing as part of a new library.

Dance Loft on 14th in DC

Surprising opposition to this great project spurred us to make the case, helping win zoning commission approval. It will have 101 apartments, with a mix of deeply affordable homes and family-sized units, and a permanent home for Dance Loft’s community arts and cultural center.

Accessory

Apartments (ADUs)

We continued partnering with United Planning Organization to help homeowners build ADUs. We organized an online homeowner workshop, one-on-one sessions for homeowners with an experienced architect, and published a revised homeowners manual with updates on key zoning changes.

Missing Middle Housing

In the face of record high home prices, which present a nearly insurmountable obstacle to home ownership for an entire generation, we’ve joined local advocates across the region in seeking plans and zoning changes that would allow for more housing options including duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes, as well as garden condo and apartment options.

Safer streets, sustainable transportation

Smart growth means transit and local street networks that are safe for walking and bicycling

A safer Richmond Highway

With VDOT locked into its 6-lane version of Route 1, we pressed for design changes to make it safer. VDOT announced it would lower the speed limit to a safer 35mph and eliminate unnecessary turn lanes to reduce crossing distances. We’ll keep pressing for more changes to make Richmond Highway safer for people walking, biking and using transit, including the planned bus rapid transit.

Transforming our Regional Bus Network

Since serving on the Bus Transformation Project in 2019, we’ve teamed with our MetroNow business coalition to campaign for better buses including a regional network redesign. Together, we publish a monthly Dispatch newsletter and host forums on better buses. WMATA launched its redesign study in October! We’re on the advisory board and we’ll be mobilizing riders and advocates to weigh in.

Transforming Montgomery’s Bus Network

Our Better Buses campaign prompted the launch of the Ride On Reimagined Study in July and the county’s commitment to work closely with WMATA. We’ve brought together 29 diverse partners in the campaign, shared ideas for inclusive engagement, and met monthly with county staff. We’ll continue to press for our platform’s 20 recommendations for better buses.

Fighting for the Duke Street Transitway

The City of Alexandria vision is for three bus rapid transit corridors – Potomac Yard, Beauregard, and Duke. Yet, opposition to changes on Duke Street from some residents has been intense. We’ve partnered in the fight for dedicated lanes to provide faster, more frequent, and reliable transit, better walking and biking, and improved access to jobs and opportunity.

More open space, less sprawl

Smart growth

A plan we can’t afford

The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority is proposing a $76 billion list of projects we can’t afford. We’ve shown the plan would increase driving on outer suburban arterials 1.5 to 3X the rate of population growth and increase greenhouse gas emissions. We continue to press for a transit-oriented development, transit, and walkable communities alternative.

Virginia and Maryland seek widening and tolling for the Capital Beltway and I-270 despite harm to parkland, neighborhoods, and air quality. Our sustainable alternative combines transit, demand management, and transit-oriented land use with transit-oriented development in Prince George’s as a core solution for racial and economic equity and reducing peak-hour trips.

emissions

Route 15

The battle for the future of Route 15 continues. Loudoun County’s push to widen Route 15 north of Leesburg to four lanes while retaining traffic lights will make it less safe and induce more traffic and speculative rural land development. Working with partners, we hope to win our safer, contextsensitive alternative: two lanes with roundabouts and traffic calming.

Saving the Rural Crescent

Prince William’s Rural Crescent is widely supported by county residents, but the County Chair wants to pave it over with data centers, even on currently unprotected parts of historic Manassas National Battlefield. We’re in a coalition with dozens of conservation, civic, and historic preservation organizations fighting to save Manassas, protect drinking water, and block revival of the outer beltway.
