As announced at The Oakton’s Annual Meeting of Homeowners, Dominion Paving & Sealing Inc. has been hired to remove and replace sections of concrete sidewalk, curbs, and gutters and to mill, repave and re-stripe the asphalt roadway and parking areas. We ask for your patience and understanding while this work is underway. Garner Engineering was hired to evaluate the concrete and asphalt, write the statement of work, and to oversee the project to ensure the work is done properly per specifications.
The schedule listed for the projects is weather permitting. As needed, signs will be posted with new work dates. Work dates will also be posted on The Oakton’s website calendar.
Trash & Recycling: Starting on Monday, July 6 curbside pick-up will not be available throughout the concrete and asphalt project. Trash Away will place dumpsters by the front entrance of the community and residents must use the dumpsters for trash and recycling during this project. Trash Away will not be picking up trash and recycling from the curbs/grounds. The parking spaces for the dumpsters were marked with signs & "X" marks on the asphalt. Vehicles will be towed if parked in these spaces on Saturday, July 4.
- If towed, contact Henry's at 703-280-5336. Henry's is located in the Merrifield area of Falls Church, VA at 2810 Hartland Rd.
Parking: It is important to adhere to the no parking areas during the project and to have your vehicle(s) registered with the 2026 yellow parking permit clearly displayed on the vehicle’s windshield (see the Parking Policy for permit placement).
Vehicles parked in no parking areas will be towed by 7AM. The tow driver will search for search for permits located on the windshield, not other windows/locations. Towed vehicles with a yellow 2026 parking permit will be relocated within the community. Towed vehicles that do not have a 2026 parking permit (or if it is not on clearly displayed the front windshield) will be towed offsite to Henry’s Wrecker Service in Falls Church, VA.
As a reminder, parking is available on a first come, first serve basis. Vehicles are allowed to park in spaces anywhere in the community and during the project you will see vehicles from another part of the community park near your building.
