Department of Transportation

11. All Alternatives
10-ft shared-use path designed for bicycle and pedestrian use
Shared-use path connection from future Innovation Center Metrorail Station north-side Kiss & Ride to:
Farougi Court (Reflection Homes Single-Family Homes) and
Apgar Place (Reflection Homes Townhomes)
Can be “mixed and matched” – for instance, the eastern segment of Alternative A can be combined with the western segment of Alternative C.
Leave adequate width for future improvement of Greene Drive

13. Alternative A Direct access to station, shortest route
0.34 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 7 min walk
0.26 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 5 min walk
Connects via North/West side of field
Impacts Metro Station facility
Two large bridges span the floodplains
provides more reliability during inclement weather
Cost estimate: $6.6 million

15. Alternative B
Direct access to station, slightly longer route than Alternative A
0.35 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 7 min walk
0.30 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 5 min walk
Connects via South/East side of field
Impacts Metro Station facility
Two large bridges span the floodplains

Department of Transportation

18. Alternative C Indirect access to station, longest route
0.49 mi to Apgar Pl, ~ 10 min walk
0.41 mi to Farougi Ct, ~ 8 min walk
Connects via North/West side of field, could use Alt B route (South/East side of field)
No impacts to Metro Station facility
One short bridge and use of Innovation Ave culvert to cross streams
reduced reliability at short bridge between Farougi Ct and Apgar Pl during inclement weather
Cost estimate: $1.6 million, least expensive

20. Residential Parking Impacts
Residential Permit Parking District (RPPD) can prohibit parking for non-residents.
Apgar Place and surrounding Reflection Homes Townhomes streets are private streets, therefore not eligible for RPPD
Farougi Court and some surrounding streets (Whisonant Court, Herman Court, Seaman Court, and a portion of Maleady Drive) are public streets which appear to meet RPPD requirements for distance and 100 contiguous spaces
RPPD can be initiated in advance of station and path opening since these projects are planned
Department of Transportation

21. Residential Permit Parking District
The procedures for establishing a Residential Parking Permit District are:
A request is made to the district supervisor by the HOA and forwarded to FCDOT
FCDOT reviews road documenting eligibility for restriction and conducts field review if required
Petition forms and map are issued by FCDOT if eligible
The community gathers signatures verifying at least 60% support for the proposed area and more than 50% support along each block face
Fee of $10 per petitioning address and completed petition are returned to supervisor
The district supervisor forwards the petition to FCDOT for review
The district supervisor forwards fee to FCDOT if petition meets requirements
The Board of Supervisors conducts a public hearing and approves proposed parking district
FCDOT installs "No Parking Except by Permit" on all affected roads
