Reston balks at Metro station development

Reston residents are objecting to a massive redevelopment along Metro’s new Silver Line, saying the new construction will only increase the area’s traffic problems when the new buildings open in 2014.

Reston is one of the nation’s first posWorld War II planned communities, and development there is tightly controlled. And residents said they’re now concerned that the evolving plans for development around the Wiehle Avenue station would be incompatible with the existing community.
