Metro is proposing changes to Rockville’s Twinbrook Station’s transit facilities to enable joint development, create a transit plaza, and increase ridership. The proposed changes include the removal of the 164-space Park & Ride surface lot and the relocation of the bus loop and Kiss and Ride facilities on the west side of the site to accommodate future development.
Per WMATA: Metro is proposing to relocate the bus loop, three bus bays, Kiss & Ride facilities, and remove the surface Park & Ride lot at the transit facilities on the west side of the Twinbrook Station. The existing 418-space above-ground parking garage to the north and parking facilities on the eastern side will remain unmodified. The changes to the transit facilities will be constructed in coordination with Metro’s future joint developer, which will be selected through a future solicitation.
This reconfiguration will create space for residential and commercial development, better connect the station into the fabric of the surrounding community, offer an improved customer experience at the station entrance, and create open space amenities. Metro’s vision for the site, which includes a transit plaza and development potential, is compatible with the City of Rockville’s Zoning Ordinance and Rockville 2040 Comprehensive Plan that promotes greater density and mix of uses near transit stations.
