Zion Drive Parking District Created

A new Community Parking District along Zion Drive between Jib Lane and Guinea Road was unanimously approved by the Board of Supervisors at their October 18 meeting.

made the motion after several communities expressed their concern over the number of recreational vehicles and trailers parked in the area.  Many did not belong to residents, and were both limiting available parking spots and creating line of sight issues for drivers.

Cook said the new regulations will improve the ability of community members to park in their own neighborhoods.

The Community Parking District (CPD) will prohibit parking of boats, motor homes and trailers along Zion Drive between Jib Lane and Guinea Road. 

The Fairfax County Department of Transportation has up to six weeks to install signs.  The new rules become effective as soon as the signs are placed.

"Vehicles could be given a warning to move within the first month of the signs going up, but that would be a courtesy," Cook's office said in an email to Burke Patch.  "Any boat, motor home or trailer parked within the CPD will be ticketed, and the fine is $75 per ticket."

Personal vehicles will still be allowed to park along the streets, as long as they do not park in established "No Parking" zones.
