TextTysons Comprehensive Plan - Public Facilities - Urban Models
The Plan calls for new infrastructure and public
facilities to serve residents and employees at Tysons. In addition to
transportation infrastructure, there will be expansions to existing
water, wastewater, stormwater, and electrical systems. Public facilities
planned for Tysons include parks and recreational facilities, new
elementary schools, fire stations, a satellite police station, and a
community library.
Urban
Models - As Tysons redevelops, facilities like schools and fire
stations may be located on the first couple of floors of new office
buildings. Likewise, recreational facilities will include athletic fields
provided on rooftops and on top of parking garages. Wherever possible,
civic uses will be co-located, such as a library with an arts center or a
fire station with a police station.
Phasing of Public Facilities - The Plan calls for the land and/or building space needed for public facilities at Tysons to be provided by developers during the first 10 or 20 years of implementation. The Plan also calls for developers to cooperate in providing public facilities within their districts or subdistricts, such as the grid of streets, the system of parks and open space, and stormwater management facilities.
Examples of Urban Fire/Police Station - The photos on the this page show Fire Station #1 in Silver Spring, Maryland. This includes a police substation on the second and third floors, and a children's fire safety exhibition center on the fourth floor.
