What's In A Name? Metro Wants to Know

Simon's Corners?

Not the Town Center Station?

West Reston?

Metro wants to know what you want to name the new Silver Line stations. Metro has a public survey opening Tuesday where citizens can voice their opinion on new Metro stop names.

While the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has a list of its preferred station names, they've been criticized as being bland, as well as confusing, since they reuse the names "Herndon," "Reston" and "Tysons."

In the Tysons Corner area, for instance, Metro is considering names that will eliminate "Tysons" from three of the four stations that serve the commercial, office and retail hub of Northern Virginia. Fairfax officials have proposed "Tysons-Spring Hill Road," "Tysons Central," "Tysons I & II," and "Tysons-McLean."

The seventh and eighth stations on the line are located in Reston and Herndon. The first Reston stop, at Wiehle Avenue, is slated to open in late 2013.
