In addition to the present challenges we face as a community, there are many future challenges that lie ahead. As you can see from this map of the proposed districts in Tyson’s Corner, Old Courthouse Road is right on the border of the 2 proposed districts namely Tyson’s Central 7 and Tyson’s West. Based on the task force proposal of an urban center that could include 200,000 jobs and 100,000 residents, this proposal could bring an immediate adverse impact to our community.
Tyson’s traffic choked arteries will force many to avoid additional congestion due to lane closings on Rt 7 and Rt 123, thus forcing them to use back roads like Old Courthouse Road and Creek Crossing. With the forecast of 200,000 jobs, 100,000 new residents in the Tyson’s area, this only means increase in traffic volume through Old Courthouse Road and Creek Crossing before, during and after re-development.
