The
New Carrollton Metrorail Station
area is designated by the 2002 General
Plan as a Metropolitan
Center in the Developed Tier.
It has a particularly high
potential
for nationally and regionally
marketable mixed use transit-oriented
development
(TOD).
This study was initiated in
FY 2004 and
completed in FY 2005.
Consultant services were
used to conduct a planning
and design charrette to analyze
the market, economic and project
feasibility of various development
options; and propose specific
concepts and a preferred development
strategy for the New
Carrollton station area.
The study:
Identified
issues, stakeholders, and options for
a transit--oriented
development concept and
strategy for the New Carrollton
station
area
Analyzed market and project feasibility
Established a build-out TOD
vision for the study area
Prepared a preferred development
concept
Set TOD planning objectives for
the study area
Recommend the most appropriate next
planning
steps and implementation actions
In
addition to producing a Transit-Oriented
Development (TOD) concept and strategy
for the study area, the planning study
was coordinated with:
The
2004 Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Authority (WMATA) solicitation
for joint development proposals for
WMATA-owned parcels at New Carrollton.
The
Maryland Department of Transportation
(MDOT) planning, design and engineering
