It's high time I got back on the the PWC beat, highlighting some of the stories I find out there about land use, traffic, and development.

The county recently conducted a telephone questionnaire, "Citizen Satisfaction Survey," which can be found on the County website. They didn't call me, but I'm somewhat aligned with these results:

The top five:

Citizen satisfaction with:

• Library staff -- 99.1 %
• Landfill services -- 98.8 %
• Medical rescue services -- 98.3 %
• Fire protection services -- 98.2 %
• Voter registration -- 97.0 %

The bottom five

• Citizen satisfaction with:
• Ease of travel around Northern Virginia -- 24.5 %
• Coordination of development and roads -- 34.9 %
• Getting around in Prince William County -- 38.1 %
• Planning and land use -- 44.8 %
• Efforts to preserve open space -- 45.1 %

Of course, PWC BoCS chairman, Sean Connaughton puts the spin on the bad ones:

In fact, said Chairman Sean Connaughton, the lowest satisfaction was with the ease of travel around Northern Virginia, something the supervisors can't really control at all.

Thus spake the Community Times.
