For those of us in "soon-to-be-sought-after" South Reston, we are effectively "bought off" by the addition of a Wegman's to this rampant development along Sunrise Valley. Everyone here on the south side is giddy with anticipation, as this is a welcome contrast to Campus Commons turning into 20+ floors of high-rise condo goodness, or the triple-building clusterfun that Vornado is going to cram next to the metro station's south escalators.<br /><br />The Soapstone Connector was a conjured dream to distract and silence those concerned about excessive traffic around Wiehle metro station. As this station will not be the Silver Line terminus for much longer, and traffic has not been a disaster, our elected officials and their developer friends will do only what is necessary. And if the Connector Myth has served its purpose, the show goes on. Wegman's will possibly have stacked parking, so the new usage will be at least as "green" as the paved hell of office campuses that precede it.<br /><br />But with all the yummy prepared foods and organic things available without crossing to the north, the people of the south rejoice. Hated north, with your costly RTC parking and your labyrinthine Trader Joes parking: we no longer need you. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
