The Greater Reston Living Podcast

Reston Crossing, the W&OD Rail Debate, and What Could Change Next


Listen Later

Two of the biggest local conversations in Reston right now are about growth and mobility, and this week we dig into both. We break down the latest Reston Crossing redevelopment plans near Wegmans and Halley Rise, plus the surprising idea of bringing rail service back along the W&OD corridor without removing the trail.

In this episode, Graham and Kathy talk through what the Reston Crossing proposal could mean for the skyline, housing, office space, retail, and how that whole area connects with the rest of the community. They also get into the debate over whether the W&OD right-of-way could someday carry both a train line and the trail, and why that idea is already stirring up strong reactions from locals.

Along the way, they also touch on the CVS reversal at Reston Station, what that says about retail and foot traffic near Metro, and why these development stories matter to anyone living in or following Reston and Herndon.

If you care about where Reston is heading, how growth is taking shape, and which local proposals could actually change daily life here, this episode is worth a watch.
