The County recently purchased the Petco site at 3200 North Washington Blvd. This property, located at the intersection Fairfax Dr and Washington Blvd is important to the county’s transportation plans for the improvement of this treacherous intersection where five roads meet.

The county has developed a plan for greatly improving this dysfunction junction as part of the Clarendon Sector Plan. The plan calls for taking some property from the Petco site along with creating additional green space. The acquisition of this property will help the project to move forward. This, along with the purchase of the Bam Bam Auto site (since torn down) at the corner of 13th and Hartford Streets bodes well for future improvements to our community. There are no funds currently budgeted for the intersection or the “dog park,” but at least the necessary property has been acquired.
