RIDE Magazine | August 2014 3 COMING IN 2017...NEW VRE STATION AT POTOMAC SHORES. FROM THE CEO DOUG ALLEN Chief Executive Officer am so pleased to announce some great news about two VRE projects that have been in the works for a long time. VRE’s original system plan has always included a train station at Potomac IShores (then called Cherry Hill). VRE has partnered with SunCal, the devel- oper of the Potomac Shores community, to build a new station at no cost to VRE. Potomac Shores station is planned to open for service in 2017 (see article on page 8 8), although the opening date is predicated on VRE making other improvements on the Fredericksburg Line. I am also happy to announce that Spotsylvania County has the property access it needs for VRE to start construction of the station and for the County to build a 1,500 space parking lot.
