I wish they would densify more around the Loudoun stops. The most are a handful of apartment buildings and offices in a sea of parking lots and townhomes. We need more walkability and density if we want people farther west to use the metro more and recoup the demand that was lost from COVID and the transition to remote work.

Agree that this should be a priority but frankly some of the Fairfax stops beyond Arlington could use a lot of work.

The Tyson’s stops along route 7 are flanked by offices on one side and strip malls/car dealerships on the other.

And Reston has a similar dynamic at the stops there where you can’t really get off the train and walk anywhere if you go south from 267.
