2. Human-scaled design characteristics that promote walking, cycling, and transit will be
prioritized above automobile-oriented development when the station is redeveloped.
3. The entire station footprint will be developed. The existing bus, Kiss & Ride and Park &
Ride facilities will be reconfigured to create developable land.
4. Existing station area pedestrian and bicycle recommendations will be addressed as part of
future redevelopment plans.
5. The new street network in the final Naylor Road Station site plan will increase access to new
development and connect to the existing street network and intersections.
6. The overall amount of Metro-operated parking on the southern Green Line in Prince
George’s County will not be reduced. In effect, if parking is removed at Naylor Road
Station to accommodate development, it will be replaced with parking elsewhere along the
southern Green Line.
Strategies
Strategies presented in this section are individual recommendations tied to and made necessary
by TOD redevelopment of the station area. Like the existing station area recommendations,
TOD-related strategies are often complementary, and could be implemented in conjunction with
one another. This section provides a brief summary of each strategy, highlighting advantages
and disadvantages.

All-In-One Parking Garage
This study recognizes that the footprint of the
Naylor Road Station access facilities—Park & Ride,
Kiss & Ride, and bus bay loop—must change to
accommodate future joint development. However,
demand for these facilities in the future is expected
to be at least as great as current demand. One
strategy to address both of these circumstances is to
combine each facility into an “all-in-one” parking
garage with Kiss & Ride facilities and bike parking
on the lower level(s), as well as bus facilities. Park &
Ride facilities would occupy the upper levels of the
all-in-one parking garage. The layout of the modal
access facilities in relation to one another would
be guided by Metro’s station access hierarchy
established in the Station Site and Access Planning
Manual (see Figure 51). Bicycle facilities would
occupy those portions of the garage closest to the
station entrance, with bus bays next, followed by
Kiss & Ride/shuttle facilities and, finally, Park &
Ride. Note that the pick-up and drop-off function of
a Kiss & Ride only works in a parking garage when
