The Fern Street Connector Path is a city infrastructure project that will construct a 10-foot bicycle and pedestrian path within the city right-of-way, connecting the dead-end of Fern Street (south of Route 29) to Park Road. The project was identified as an important transportation connection in the Camp Washington Small Area Plan and was funded as part of a broader set of multimodal transportation initiatives noted as early as mid-2024.

The George Snyder Trail (GST) was a planned shared-use trail project (VDOT UPC 112816) in Fairfax City intended to improve multimodal connectivity. The project had received approximately $20.6 million in concessionaire (Transform 66 Outside the Beltway) funding, with a total budget of roughly $16 million remaining after prior expenditures.

The Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP) is the City of Fairfax's first comprehensive 20-year roadmap for stewardship of its urban forest, developed beginning in May 2024. The plan went through an extensive public engagement process including two steering committee meetings, multiple public open houses (July 2024, October 2024, October 2025), a public survey, stakeholder interviews, and presentations to the Planning Commission, PRAB, Environmental Sustainability Committee, and City Council at multiple work sessions.
