• Loss of crossing guards creates 'nightmare' at South Lakes HS, RA board members say (ffxnow.com) — Reston Association leaders are weighing how forcefully to respond after Fairfax County cut high school crossing guards, creating what some describe as a traffic "nightmare" around South Lakes High School. The board narrowly backed drafting a letter urging county officials to address safety concerns and will also post contact information so Reston residents can press supervisors and school leaders directly.
• Fairfax County adds self-service kiosks for car tax payments (wtop.com) — Reston residents can now pay their Fairfax County car taxes anytime at a new 24-hour self-service kiosk located at the Reston Government Center. The county has added three other kiosks in Fairfax, Alexandria and Annandale, all accepting cash, checks and cards for personal property tax payments due Oct. 5.
• MBA NewsLink Q&A: Pennymac's Mike Hogan on Mortgage Technology's Next Chapter #MISMOSummit (mba.org) — Reston recently hosted the MISMO Fall Summit, where mortgage leaders dug into how AI and better data standards could reshape everything from loan servicing to capital markets. Pennymac CIO Mike Hogan described how real-time platforms and responsible AI can speed up mortgage decisions, cut costs, and give homeowners more self-service options while keeping strong controls in place.
