This evening the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will hopefully approve a long range redevelopment plan for Tysons Corner. In a post at the Washington Post Local Blogging Network, I argue that the only sensible action is to raise density in Tysons to the point where it can begin to function like a genuine city, where walking and transit are as easy or easier than driving.

Update: The Board approved the plan by 8-2 vote. – June 23
