Metro is seeking public input on proposed changes to parking and bus facilities at Takoma Station. The proposal would allow Metro and its private development partner to move forward with redevelopment plans, including future mixed-use development and transit facility modernization.

The changes are intended to promote transit-oriented development and increase Metro ridership.

Proposed changes to the site include:

• Relocating the bus loop and Kiss & Ride

• Adding one drop-off only bus stop

• Removing 144 Kiss & Ride spaces

• Adding a traffic signal on Carroll Street NW at the bus loop and Kiss & Ride entrance
