Public Workshops and Web Input on Test Scenarios
The Tysons Land Use Task
Force and the team of consultants working on planning the future of
Tysons developed three scenarios to
test potential future growth in Tysons. These test scenarios were
shaped by the public input provided during the March 2007
workshops and from ongoing Task Force activities. The test scenarios
look at different ways of integrating four planned metrorail stations
into Tysons Corner.
The test scenarios were not designed to be actual choices for the future of Tysons but to test how different planning approaches may or may not work. The test scenarios -- along with the “base case” derived from the current Comprehensive Plan -- were evaluated to learn how well they address the Task Force Guiding Planning Principles and key factors for future transportation and quality of life in Tysons Corner.
In addition to three community wokshops held in the Hunter Mill, Dranesville, and Providence districts, the Task Force accepted public input on specific implications of the test scenarios through a questionnaire on its web site. This input is helping the planning consultants design actual working alternatives for the future of Tysons Corner, which will go through another round of public review in January 2008.
