The 3-mile radius only applies to people that live near the bordering area of the South Lakes district. If you live on West Ox road near Floris, it is actually 6.5 miles because I drove it myself yesterday. Talk about cooking the books!
3.5 is what I drive myself from my house to the Herndon-Monroy park and ride and I don't even cross Fairfax County Parkway....so don't BS me about the so called 3- mile radius to SL.
