Ballston-MU Metrorail Station Proposed Second Entrance
Arlington County, in coordination with Metro, is proposing a second entrance to the Ballston-MU Metrorail Station. The proposed second entrance would be located at the intersection of North Fairfax Drive and North Vermont Street.
The proposed second entrance would improve access from the Glebe Road area, support growing development in the station's western vicinity, and provide additional capacity to accommodate more riders. In addition, the proposed new entrance would feature two street-level elevators, stairs, and a conveniently located underground passageway and mezzanine to the existing station platform.
