@ Jim: The sites adjacent to Branch Ave are more appropriate for true TOD, not an FBI fortress, which belongs in the secondary area. As for New Carrollton, the Ardwick-Ardmore warehouse district is another possibility, but not as good of one, IMO. Ardwick-Ardmore is a much bigger and better established warehouse district than the scattered warehouse uses across from Morgan Blvd. Plus its in a gulch between US-50 and the Beltway, which makes traversing the area somewhat awkward, especially on foot. It should remain a warehouse district.

@ Andrew: Agreed. The county needs station plans for all its Metro stations. Each station, of course, won't have the same TOD potential or be able to accommodate large-scale TOD projects, so some prioritization will be necessary. Landover, for example, may only be able to accommodate high-density residential with some neighborhood convenience retail. But that's a better plan than a sea of asphault at a Metro station.
