Abstract

This project proposes improved passenger rail service between Washington, D.C., and Richmond, Virginia, extending the existing high-speed rail route from Boston further south along the eastern seaboard of the US. Within the 110-mile-long corridor in Virginia, existing land uses range from metropolitan centres and suburbs to rural communities, agricultural areas, and wetlands. For this corridor, the project analyzed access patterns, population densities, recreation resources, cultural assets, visual qualities, and environmentally sensitive areas. It identified those areas that should be protected and those that could accommodate development. Based on these analyses, the report recommended fourteen station sites that could best serve commuters and become district focal points, illustrating representative examples of these proposed station communities. For the covering abstract see ITRD E128680.
