Parking should be carefully managed at the
redeveloped site. The goal is to limit the number
of parking spaces and encourage shared
parking between different land uses that need
it at different times of day or at different times
of the week. Offices, for example, typically
need parking during weekdays, while retail
and entertainment venues more likely need it
evenings or on weekends.

Ridership
The study team used the MWCOG travel demand model, updated for the Purple Line project
to meet Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requirements, to estimate Metrorail ridership
and mode share at Naylor Road Station in 2040. An advantage of using the travel demand
model to estimate future growth is that it accounts for the change in person trip patterns from
demographic change and it accounts for effects of constrained parking on station demand.
The estimates are based on year 2040 of the Round 8.0 of the Cooperative Forecasts. The
forecasts for Naylor Road Station area show an overall population increase of two percent and
an employment increase of 23 percent, reflecting the expected redevelopment of the station
area into an office and commercial regional center (Table 16). As shown in Figure 39, the model
