Last night (April 3, 2007) the Arlington County Civic Federation (ACCF) passed, by overwhelming majority, a resolution calling on Arlington Public Schools and Arlington County Government to work together to save the green space at Wilson School.

The wording was modified during discussion a few times so the following is close but perhaps not exactly correct.

"Therefore, be it resolved that Arlington County Civic Federation requests that: Arlington Public Schools and Arlington County work together to preserve and maintain the greenspace and active recreation areas at Rosslyn Highlands Park as well as pedestrian access, and to restore and maintain Wilson School's athletic fields to conform with the Public Spaces Master Plan in recognition that all Arlington residents need recreation areas."

Thanks to Jay Wind, chair of the ACCF Parks Committee for bringing this resolution to the floor. And thanks to Stan Karson of RAFOM Civic Association and Martha Moore of Lyon Park Civic Association for their adroit parliamentary actions that allowed this to come to a vote.
