Comment: At the risk of doing a dis-service to long-time resident and Task Force alternate Joe Stowers' excellent critique and recommendations concerning Reston Town Center development, his focus is on achieving a 1:1 balance of workers and employed residents within a half-mile of the Town Center Metrorail station. To accomplish this goal in light of the extremely high worker:resident ratio there now, he recommends "the ratio of residential to
commercial gross square feet of all new development for the entire station area within
about one-half mile of the Town Center rail station plus Town Center North should be as
close as possible to 4:1." Under the assumptions the Task Force is currently using about dwelling unit size and gross space per worker, this roughly translates into adding about 1.6 residents for every worker added.
