Rosslyn’s New Metro Entrance

22 02 2010

With the coming redevelopment of the core center of Rosslyn, it makes sense to take the opportunity to reconfigure how people access the metro station. Currently the area is a confusing mess of overhead walkways but as you can see, the reconfiguration of the metro entrance will allow for the creation of great looking pedestrian plaza which will be surrounded by all the new skyscrapers.

Best part of the reconfiguration? It is being paid for by JBG as part of their construction of the adjacent 31 story Rosslyn Central Place development.

It’s funny how you say the current entry in confusing, yet can anybody spot the Metro entrance in that rendering? I mean, if you didn’t know if was a bank of 3 new elevators.

That’s actually a view of the North Lynn side. The elevators here connect the upper level and street level to a garage. The Metro Elevators are on the far side of the pergola structure. On the North Moore side.

As far as I know, the old Metro entrance is still going to be functioning. I think this would be better described as just more elevators, and more below ground facilities, but I haven’t studied the subterranean aspects much.

Don I don’t think these elevators connect to anything other than the metro station, the current ones are further to the left, and as far as identifying where the entrance is, I am sure there will be the typical metro signs and towers for the Orange and Blue line.

Here’s a plan that I think explains what I was trying to describe. It’s a little hard to read.
