Here is a list of changes due to BRAC that will impact the region.
Bethesda Naval-2,200 new jobs and estimated 1,000,000 hospital visits which is double than now.
That area is already extremely traffic heavy and will worsen as we approach the Sept 15th deadline.
MARK center in Alexandria-6,400 new jobs. As with most of the site additions major road and or bus service has been proposed but has not been added and most haven't been funded by any level of government. Out of 30 projects to improve traffic four are fully funded and six more are partially funded.
Fort Belvoir is adding 22,000 new jobs into an area that NOW can take 45 minutes to go one mile due to inadequate roads and enhanced security measures.
Hope this helps at least with the planning we all will have to do before Sept at the latest.
