We are meeting at the Maynard residence at 7PM, Monday, April 12, for about two hours.
We have a busy evening of discussion ahead for Monday evening although the topics are few:
1. Introductions--New member, Polo Fields guest, any others (10 mins.)
2. Readout and discussion of our walk on transportation needs around the Herndon-Monroe Metro station area (John Mossgrove). John will bring together our observations on transportation needs from a two-hour walk through the entirety of the H-M area on Saturday afternoon. Three members of TWG (Terry, Dave, and John) and three residents of the adjoining Polo Fields Assn. conducted the tour. I have invited Polo Fields to send a representative to participate in this discussion. (20 minutes)
3. Laying out a specific work plan, including individual work assignments, for the development of a workable preliminary report on transportation needs in the TODs and RTC areas by Memorial Day (late May) so we can make a presentation at the June 8 public presentation meeting of the Reston TF. I have attached a draft work plan of very demanding set of topics we need to address in the next month and a half. I propose we have 1-3 person teams tackle each topic area. I have also attached a couple of related documents for background purposes in that effort. We also need to identify specific people we should interview within the next two-three weeks for insight on the issues we're addressing. (90 minutes)
I see us needing to meet the following schedule to achieve our end:
Not later than Friday, April 23 (12 days): Each lead shares a first set of analytical observations and proposed recommendations addressing the attached draft work plan and the Transportation Analysis for TODs and RTC topics to be circulated by e-mail among TWG members. This need not be finished prose, just complete and coherent enough that we can discuss it at the next TWG meeting.
Monday, April 26, TWG Meeting: Discuss ideas provided by each topic lead. Each topic team/person takes these ideas aboard and fleshes out their analysis and recommendations.
Not later than Friday, May 7: Each topic lead shares a more complete set of analytical observations and proposed recommendations. Again, not looking for a finished product--just ALL the proposed substance of one.
Monday, May 10, TWG Meeting: Review the various inputs and reach something approach consensus on the analysis and recommendations.
Not later than Wednesday, May 19: Terry integrates the agreed upon substance into a first draft report and/or presentation product (TBD) and shares with TWG via e-mail.
Not later than Sunday, May 23: TWG members respond to all TWG by e-mail with proposed substantial changes. We're not word picking, but we need to get key areas of concern on the table before our next meeting.
Monday, May 24, TWG Meeting: Review draft, resolve key substantial issues, decide on final format.
Not later than May 27: Terry produces final draft product and shares with TWG members by e-mail.
Week of May 31 (Memorial Day), TWG meeting (Tuesday-Wednesday, date TBD): Review and finalize report/presentation.
Friday, June 4: Product finalized, shared with Reston 2020 and RCA Board--and that's cutting it very close.
Tuesday, June 8: Present TWG's Preliminary Reston Citizens Assessment and Recommendations on Future Reston Transportation to the Reston Task Force.
Please come prepared to discuss how you can help contribute to achieving this ambitious agenda and what resources beyond yourself you may be able to bring to help.

RMAG Analysis of Traffic Near Reston's Metro Stations, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, April 15, 2008
This document is the second chapter of the consultant's report for the Reston Metrorail Access Group, a group focused on developing safe and rapid access to Reston's new Metrorail stations. As reflected in this analysis, traffic congestion will be much worse in 2030 even if "robust" road improvements are made.
