 | Transportation: Spotsylvania VRE Could Come by 2012 |
 Spotsylvania County can expect a VRE station by February 2012, according to an agreement governing the county’s membership with the commuter rail. Two pro-VRE candidates won re-election to the Spotsylvania Board of Supervisors in this past election, which “essentially sealed the deal for the county to join VRE.” The Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission is expected to ratify an agreement that requires the VRE to extend a third rail into Spotsylvania so that train service can begin as soon as the station is built. The third rail must also coincide with the county’s building a new VRE station and parking lot. The parking lot will have at least 500 spaces, with the capacity to expand to 1,000 spaces. About 1,000 Spotsylvania riders now board the VRE trains daily from Fredericksburg and Stafford stations. Currently, the county does not have a formal agreement with any developer, landowner, or company to build the VRE station, but there is much support for the service among the business community in the county. The county’s comprehensive plan targets an area by the VRE Crossroads yard of U.S. 17 and State Route 2 as a prime location, which is also the area where Tricord Companies proposed and later postponed Summit Crossing.
