A new 4-story parking garage will have 704 free parking spaces for MARC commuters. A new traffic light will also be installed at the exit to Dorsey Run Road.
This work is part of a $180M project which broke ground on June 9, 2014 called Annapolis Junction Town Center to convert the Savage MARC Station into a new Transportation Oriented Development (TOD) site, with a mix of residential, office, and retail development centered around public transit:
- 704-space parking garage
- 416 apartment units
- 17,450 sq ft of retail space
- 100,000 sq ft of office space
- 150-room hotel
The lead developer, Somerset Construction, also built Arundel Preserve near Arundel Mills Mall.
This effort has been a long time in the making, with the concept first proposed in 2006.
The schedule calls for Annapolis Junction Town Center to open by Spring 2016. $30M in roadway improvements are planned to ease congestion and improve access to Fort Meade.
Similar projects have been proposed for Laurel and Odenton, with a total of 10 potential TOD sites.
As an aside, the other impact is that the construction forced longtime roadside vendor Dave's BBQ to move onto Corridor Road:
