On The Docket: Development Projects in Reston

Here is a look at the status of some of Reston's larger development projects.

Terraset Elementary School - Fairfax County Public Schools Design and Construction Services has filed a Planned Residential Community Plan for Terraset Elementary School Renovations.

The plans include proposed building additions totaling 33,184 square feet to include an administration addition, art/music addition, two classroom additions and a multi-purpose addition.

The upper parking area will be redesigned to improve traffic flow and to provide a kiss-and-ride drop-off area. The two existing pedestrian bridges will be demolished, and a new centrally located bridge will be constructed to connect the school with the kiss-and-ride area.

The application has been accepted and has a tentative Fairfax County Planning Commission public hearing for 8:15 p.m. Nov. 29.
