Cathy Hudgins (Reston Supervisor) Fears Reston Has Been Destroyed... No Shit! And She Did it!

When Cathy Hudgins moved to Reston 50 years ago, she was struck by how welcoming the community was to newcomers. These days, as she winds down her two-decade-long career in public service, Hudgins fears that spirit has faded away.
She put down roots in the Fairfax County community back in 1969, drawn by Robert E. Simon’s vision of a planned, inclusive suburb. After becoming the county supervisor for the Hunter Mill district in 1999, she tried to channel Simon’s ethos into her work charting out a path for the area’s evolution.
Hudgins has helped usher in tremendous changes for Reston over the last 20 years, becoming a champion for the expansion of Metro’s Silver Line into the community, in particular. And the arrival of mass transit has brought with it a surge in developer interest, and a bevy of mixed-use projects are now either completed, under construction or in the planning process across Reston.
Hudgins sees that development as a promising sign for the community’s future — but, increasingly, many of her neighbors have made it clear they disagree. Opposition to growth in Reston has mounted steadily over the years, with a wide array of citizens groups forming to protest what they see as the community’s unchecked development.
And that gives Hudgins real pause as she prepares to step away from public life in January. In a recent interview reflecting on her tenure on the Board of Supervisors, Hudgins was adamant that she believes she’ll be leaving Reston on a “positive path,” but she still harbors deep concerns about the conversations awaiting her successors.
“I came because of the value system that we saw here, and I think I’ve gotten so entrenched in that that it’s kind of hard for me to understand this other side,” Hudgins said. “I think, wait a minute, we don’t tell people they’re not wanted, or we can’t afford to have more people here...It’s always been a welcoming environment. But I think there’s going to be a lot more work that needs to continue to happen because it’s a different society today.”
Hudgins does allow that attitudes toward development tend to be “cyclical,” and she’s seen her fair share of ups and downs since she first won office. But with so many local activists flooding board chambers in recent years to oppose new construction (complete with matching, brightly colored T-shirts) Hudgins can’t help but feel that things have taken a turn.
Undoubtedly, the arrival of Metro in Reston, and the subsequent surge in development around the Silver Line stations, has driven community consternation.
Nevertheless, Hudgins (who has spent years serving on Metro’s governing board of directors) has always been a believer in the value of commuter rail. She expects her advocacy for two stops serving Reston — Wiehle-Reston East and the future Reston Town Center station — will stand among her most meaningful legacies.
“It’s a given that Metro brings a whole different quality to the entire community,” Hudgins said. “If things are working right, the trains are right there and the jobs are right there...And it does work, but the magnitude of it is new to Reston.”
Hudgins is well aware the new commercial buildings rising up around various Metro stops can be a jarring change for longtime residents accustomed to Reston’s leafy single-family neighborhoods. She said she hears a similar refrain frequently from her critics: “I don’t want those houses. I don’t want those buildings. You’re not going to be able to send them to school.” Those concerns became particularly acute as Hudgins shepherded new zoning changes several years ago to allow for more density near Reston's Metro stations.
But she feels the county has planned out its infrastructure investments thoughtfully, and as the area sees more new homes and pedestrian connections to Metro built, the traffic that’s resulted from new development (particularly on Wiehle Avenue) will “work itself out.”
And as time goes by, Hudgins also hopes that concerned neighbors begin to understand that new construction isn’t ruining the community, but improving it.
“If you bring the density to the rail area, then most of the density is going to stay there,” Hudgins said. “People write and say, ‘I don’t want a high rise in front of me.’ But it’s not like right in front of you. It’s on the other block across from you...But it happens and you have to get used to it and help people understand, what can I do to make your life easier?”
Of course, the Reston residents who have raised red flags about the community’s growth feel that Hudgins hasn’t listened to their concerns. And some are frustrated to hear Hudgins discount those fears as simply a lack of a welcoming spirit.
“That is just completely inaccurate, because the concern has been over the pace and scope of development, especially about roads and schools not keeping up with the new employees coming,” said Donna Gough, a leader with the advocacy group the Coalition for a Planned Reston. “But when concerns are raised, they’re dismissed. The county is responsible for doing those things and the county is failing.”
Connie Hartke, a member of the Reston Citizens Association’s board of directors and head of the advocacy group Rescue Reston, agrees that Hudgins has been saying “a little too much yes” when it comes to meeting the demands of developers. That’s where she hopes Hudgins’ likely replacement, unopposed Democratic nominee Walter Alcorn, will “push back” a bit more in the future.
Hudgins concedes that she could’ve done some things differently over the years, particularly when it comes to managing community expectations about new development. She feels she could’ve done more to start conversations earlier about the changes on the way for Reston “and to showcase to people that this doesn’t look and feel right to you because you haven’t been here before.”

If building go up they can be taken down. Make the board get out a wrecking ball and knock those buildings down that were erected wrongly.
Developers are under the impression that once it's built nobody can remove it. I've got news for the those developers. Citizens can petition the board to have the buildings torn down.
Corrupt buildings should be torn down by the county!

Anyone else find this statement extremely arrogant? If the plan is actually that good its benefits and problems could be presented to the residents in advance so the residents could determine whether the new construction would ruin the community or improve it, or whether there was a third option which would have been even better.

I found many of her comments to be very odd. Like "traffic will just figure itself out."
If this is the way the supervisors and planning board are thinking they need to be replaced immediately!
What a load of crap from developers who don't want to pay for improvements or have building restrictions. The same group that will be flooding Reston streets with cars and no place to park. It will be downtown cities' nightmares.

The Reston Association pools, wooded paths, lakes and tennis courts can't support thousands of high-rise residents. Developers building skyscrapers with thousands of residents are robbing Reston of its core resources; Reston Association woods, parks, horse trails, tennis courts, golf courses and pools with no contributions.
Reston is a planning community with a comprehensive plan for wooded pathways, pools, village center and lakes. The new building voilate all the rules set forth by Reston's creator Robert E Simmon.
Best expressed by Veach, "If developers come to Reston and build carelessly with greed, then shame on them. But, shame on Reston residents who fail to explain what Reston is and why it is a planned place."

You should have thought of this before you voted to bring metro out here. This is an automatic result in every location where metro has been built. Soon you will be dealing with the crime brought in by metro from points south and east, and walking your trails will no longer be feasible w/o a carry permit. Not your cup of tea? Let the prices soon rise to Cali heights, sell out and move beyond the reach of the metro.

RUSH HOUR IS BAD ALREADY. ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE. THE BUMS ARE SENT OUT ON THE METRO BY DC COPS. THEY THEN PREY ON THE LOCAL BUSINESSES NEARBY OR AGGRESSIVELY PANHANDLE TO BUY DRUGS AT THE EXTENDED STAY HOTEL, HEAD OVER TO THE RESTON TOWN CENTER, SHIT ON THE SIDEWALK AND THEN GET FREE ROOM AND BOARD OVER AT THE EMBRY RUCKER SHELTER.
THEY ENTERTAIN THEMSELVES BY USING THE FREE INTERNET ACCESS AT THE LIBRARY NEXT DOOR AND SIT THERE AND JERK OFF TO PORN. THE NEWEST SCAM IS FAIRFAX COUNTY LAUNDERS MONEY THROUGH VIA THE COMMUNITY SERVICE BOARD INTO NON PROFITS LIKE PATHWAYS AND PUTS UP CRAZY BUMS INTO CRAPPY APT COMPLEXES IN THE AREA, ALL ON YOUR TAX DOLLAR.

Look up the scientific studies where they kept shoving rats in a box. There is a breaking point. Eventually the rats will become unhappy and start to neglect their children and fight one another. Cities are cesspools for misery and blight. It's not different for humans. Any wonder why working moms in Reston cannot parent their kids without 1-2bottles of wine a day to cope?

It's not the Metro. Look at other places with Metro stops and not a big issue. It's the fact that FFX county board allowed developers to over build and crowd an area. I hope those board members and the planning commission are investigated thoroughly.

Vienna was able to maintain a reasonable density. Many payoffs to the board with Reston.

Metro doesn't really reach Vienna. The Vienna Metro station is on the south western boundary of the town. Plus remember that the area around Vienna Metro was developed earlier at a time when real estate development meant something different than it does today. Its a good bet though that by 2040 the area along Nutley will look different than it does today.

I thought it was obvious I knew there was a Vienna metro station given that I specifically referred to the VIENNA Metro Station by name. If you look at a map you will see I have also correctly indicated its location. Unlike the W&OD and the WA&FC which ran through the heart of Vienna, Metro is on the southern edge.

The only strategy that Democrats know is to blame other people for the things that they are doing themselves. Is this a classic Alinsky strategy? My 12 Rules for Radicals was stolen by a Liberal.

The liberal Democratic philosophy for development of Fairfax County today came from the Republican philosophy for developing Fairfax County of the past few decades, which in turn was based on the conservative Democratic philosophy for developing Fairfax County after WW2. The only time there was a real effort to try to rationalize development in the County was during Audrey Moore's administration. Later Jack Herrity also came around to Moore's way of thinking, recognizing that the development policies he had advocated when heading the Board of Supervisors were not in the interests of County residents.
