Road Frontage Richmond Hwy 186' The Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan envisions transportation improvements to Russell Road 194' include easy access by bus, Metrorail, pedestrian/bicyclist services to the City of FAR .50 (by right) Alexandria. The Mount Vernon District known for its recent and dramatic growth .70 (with approval) of commercial businesses is also the historic heart of Fairfax County which includes Fort Hunt Park, Huntley Meadows Park, George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate Current Condition Retail, wooded lot and Gardens, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Pope-Leighey House, River Farm and Woodlawn Plantation. Portions of the Richmond Highway corridor have been designated as one of the six Community Business Centers (CBC). The corridor Business Center areas are: Beacon/ Groveton, Hybla Valley, North Gateway, Penn Daw, South County and Woodlawn. The dramatic growth along the Richmond Highway Corridor in development of multi-family, hotel, retail and pharmacy projects make this site a prime location for development of convenience with gas, pharmacy store, major restaurant or retailer, child care or hotel. PAGE 4 PREMIER LOCATION RICHMOND HIGHWAY CORRIDOR Located in the southeastern portion of Fairfax County, the Richmond Highway corridor extends from the City of Alexandria boundary, south along Richmond Highway (U.S. Route 1) to Fort Belvoir. This corridor enjoys easy access to the Capitol Beltway (Interstates 95 and 495), Fairfax County Parkway and contains the terminus for the Metrorail Yellow Line at Huntington. The corridor is dominated by retail development--nearly 4 million square feet, more than 1 million square feet of office space and nine hotels with more than 1,000 rooms. In addition, the Department of the Army and its contractors at 8,700-acre Fort Belvoir occupy 10 million square feet of office space on-post. Fort Belvoir, one of the largest employers in Fairfax County and home to more than 40,000 civilian and military personnel in nearly 100 agencies, is the site of the second-largest action resulting from the national 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act (BRAC), producing expansion of healthcare services and the Warrior Clinic. Major employers in the corridor include the Defense Contract Audit and Defense Logistics agencies, Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, the Department of the Army and USA Mobility. This market also contains numerous points of historical interest and natural beauty, including Fort Hunt Park, Huntley Meadows Park, George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Pope-Leighey House, River Farm and Woodlawn Plantation. As one of the first commercial districts in Fairfax County, the Richmond Highway corridor has its own economic development agency, Southeast Fairfax Development Corp (SFDC). Portions of the Richmond Highway corridor have been designated as one of the six Community Business Centers. The corridor Business Centers are comprised of Beacon/Groveton, Hybla Valley, North Gateway, Penn Daw, South County and Woodlawn. Richmond Highway’s close proximity both to leading visitor attractions like Old Town Alexandria, George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, Woodlawn Plantation, and Gunston Hall, along with the expansion of Fort Belvoir, have combined to make the corridor an attractive investment for hospitality developers. Since 2009, six new hotels have been built, representing more than 27 percent of all hotel rooms on the corridor. The corridor in addition to the growth in hospitality has experienced substantial development in multi-family with three projects completed totaling 943 units, one under construction with 400 planned units and two in final planning totaling 559 units. The corridor is also home to three new pharmacy sites and three new financial institutions.

The stations will run initially from the Huntington Metrorail Station to Fort Belvoir and will include a possible future extension of the Metrorail Yellow Line to Hybla Valley. Embark is focused on creating a multimodal future for Richmond Highway Corridor where residents, workers, and visitors can walk, bike, or drive to the places they want to go. This effort responds to recommendations from the Route 1 Multimodal Alternatives Analysis, conducted by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) and intends to assess and refine the recommendations from the study by providing more detailed guidance in the Comprehensive Plan for the implementation of transit in the corridor. Embark Richmond Highway also includes coordination with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and federal agencies to conduct Environmental Assessments (EAs). THE COMPONENTS OF THE EMBARK RICHMOND HIGHWAY PROJECT INCLUDE: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT The Comprehensive Plan Amendment process is considering planning goals and objectives for the corridor, land use density and mix for the areas in the vicinity of the proposed BRT stations between Huntington and Fort Belvoir. Corridor-wide transportation systems, urban design, public facilities. ROAD WIDENING Richmond Highway is planned to be widened from four to six lanes.

VRE offers service at two stations, Franconia-Springfield and Alexandria, that are a short walk from the soon-to-be closed Franconia-Springfield and King St-Old Town Metrorail stations. VRE trains run northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening with stops at Crystal City in Virginia, and L’Enfant and Union Station in Washington, D.C. “VRE makes commuting easy,” said Doug Allen, the railroad’s chief executive officer. “Our 32 daily trains provide nearly 20,000 passenger trips and connect to all six Metrorail lines. VRE is a great commuting alternative for many Metrorail riders affected by this summer’s station shutdown.” VRE trains arrive at Union Station each weekday between 6:24 and 9:17 a.m. and depart Union Station between 12:55 and 7:05 p.m. While all trains stop at the Alexandria station, only trains on the Fredericksburg line stop at Franconia-Springfield, where parking at the Metro garage will be free during the station closure. Passengers can see which trains have the most available seating by visiting VRE’s train utilization trends page at www.vre.org.
