Increasing density around a transportation hub like a metro
station could be an effective way for Prince William to accommodate a growing
population while minimizing the number of cars we add to roads.
In addition to being a sound planning strategy, it's also a
good way for Prince William to compete for state and federal funds that would
be required to build a $20-30B Metrorail project.
Currently, the draft land use map in the 2040 Comprehensive
Plan has planned growth scattered throughout the county rather than
concentrated near mass transit (current or future), which undermines our
ability to compete for funding.
