Route 7 Changes at Colvin Run Prompt Local Reaction
GFCA leaders were joined by neighbors recently to publicly express their dissatisfaction with the VDOT design of the stream channel that has replaced the former meandering, natural, stream bed and associated wetlands of historic Colvin Run.
There was vigorous opposition to this design by GFCA and local environmentalists.
The design creates a straight channel that some believe will create havoc downstream.
The plan was approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. Pictured at left are neighbors and GFCA leaders who posed by the channel at Carpers Farm and Route 7.

The Great Falls Citizens Association is an
all-volunteer, non-profit, 501(c)4 organization that advocates solutions and
government actions that benefit Great Falls. Since Great Falls is not an incorporated municipality like the Town of Vienna, or City of Falls Church, we lack a town/city government to represent our local interests. The GFCA acts in an unofficial capacity to represent the voices of the citizens of Great Falls on these matters, and works with county, state, and national government to get things done. On Great Falls issues, no other organization has GFCA’s influence with elected leaders at the County and State level, or is as respected by them. Our charter calls for GFCA to "serve as a community organization to promote all aspects of community interest accruing to a common good and, in general, to preserve the historic, low density, semi-rural character of Great Falls and its natural resources."
