 Deanwood Station Open House & Public Hearing
Metro is proposing changes to Deanwood Station’s transit facilities to support future mixed-use development, which could include housing and potentially retail. The D.C. Public Library (DCPL) also proposes to include a new library facility in the mixed-use development. The proposed changes include removal of the 194-space Park & Ride facility. All other transit facilities, including the bus loop and Kiss & Ride, would remain the same.
Today, Tuesday, July 11, 2023, Metro will host an Open House at 6PM, followed by a Public Hearing at 6:30PM. The Public Hearing will offer both in-person and virtual participation options.

Metro previously approved eliminating Deanwood's Park & Ride facility in 2018. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related real estate and development conditions, Metro did not move forward with closing the Park & Ride. Given the length of time that has occurred, Metro is repeating the public hearing process to ensure that community members can provide feedback on the proposed changes.
All public comments will be provided to Metro's Board of Directors for final review and inclusion into Metro's Mass Transit Plan. When a joint developer is selected, the public can comment during the development review process. D.C. government is responsible for evaluating the mixed-use development's scope and impact on public facilities, including the evaluation of the development's green space, traffic impacts, stormwater design, housing affordability, and non-Metro parking.
Metro's Compact public hearing process only addresses changes to the Park & Ride facility and does not speak to the eventual construction of the development.
