Longwood Knolls

Established in 1977, Longwood Knolls is a premier community of 554 single-family homes located in Burke.

Fairfax County is conducting a Boundary Study to relieve the overcrowding at Annandale High School. One option being considered would transfer about 400 students to Lake Braddock, increasing the enrollment to 4,400 students. The capacity of Lake Braddock after renovation was 4,075. However, Fairfax County recently increased that limit to 4,519 without making any changes to infrastructure. Please see the attached flyer for further information on this important issue.

New Parking Restrictions

Springfield District Community Parking District Approved

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors recently approved the establishment of a Community Parking District (CPD) in the Springfield District which encompasses Longwood Knolls. The CPD will restrict parking oversized vehicles on state-owned roads in communities which present sight-distance issues and are deemed safety related. The restriction will become effective March 25. As with other newly established CPDs, only warning tickets will be issued the first 30 days.

Vehicles that are restricted include:

* Boat Trailers
* Watercraft Boats
* Motor Homes
* Camping Trailers
* Trailers or Semi-trailers, even if attached to a vehicle
* Vehicles with 3 or more axles
* Vehicles with a gross vehicle weighted rating (GVWR) of 12,000 lbs or more

Vehicles temporarily parked (for up to 48 hours) for the purposes of loading, unloading, or preparing for a trip are exempt from these restrictions. For more information on CPDs and exempted vehicles, visit the county website at: www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/large_cpd.htm
