Putting Silver Line Into Perspective
WaPo takes a broad look at impact of rail on Reston - and how development will be affected by a delay or cancellation of Silver Line Phase 2.
The first Metrorail cars will roll into Reston in a scant 18 months. While the Wiehle Avenue-Reston East station is shaping into an actual location, what will happen in the surrounding areas?
A lot, as Reston Patch has reported over the last two years.
Saturday's Washington Post took a look at the expected development around the Wiehle station, which will be the end of the line for several years. The Reston Parkway station will be the first stop on the Phase 2 of the Silver Line, which remains in a bit of flux until the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors decides in July whether to remain a stakeholder.
