Metro proposes changes to the Braddock Rd station transit facilities to enable joint development and increase ridership. The recommended changes are made after evaluation of future demand for the transit and Kiss & Ride facilities at Braddock Rd station.

The changes to the transit facilities will be constructed in coordination with Metro’s future joint developer, which will be selected through future solicitation.
