| Potomac Yards |
| Alexandria/Arlington, Virginia |
 Potomac Yards are a 320‑acre former railroad classification yard located immediately south of Crystal City and within view of the U.S. Capitol, in Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, Virginia. The classification yards were recently relocated elsewhere on the east coast. Potomac Yards are being redeveloped as a 13‑million square foot high-density, pedestrian-friendly, mixed‑use community.Wells + Associates has consulted with the successive owners of the Yards, including RF&P Railroad, Alexandria 2020, RF&P Corporation, Commonwealth Atlantic Properties (CAP), Crescent Resources, The Meridian Group, and purchasers of individual land parcels, for more than 15 years. We assisted the owners in preparing Master Plans and Design Guidelines for the Alexandria and Arlington portions of the site. Wells + Associates also: conducted detailed transportation impact studies that supported project entitlements; evaluated the phased construction of on- and off-site transportation improvements; conducted traffic impact studies for the Potomac Yards Center, other interim uses, and individual land bays; evaluated the traffic impacts of straightening the Route 1/Monroe Avenue bridge; forecasted patronage at a potential new Metro station; prepared Transportation Management Plans in Alexandria and Arlington; and prepared traffic signal, pavement marking, and maintenance of traffic plans. This project involved extensive public involvement. Wells + Associates provided expert witness testimony before various citizen groups, the Alexandria and Arlington Planning Commissions, the Alexandria City Council, and the Arlington Board. |
