I emailed Suhas Naddoni, who is a Councilmember of the City of Manassas Park and a VRE board member. I was told this:

****

Hello,

The proposed extension is not cancelled, however at this point its up in the air.

VRE recommended that Broad Run Terminus (relocating the existing Broad Run station a short distance east) as a cost effective alternative to extending the line to Gainesville-Haymarket. However, one of the sites that was being considered for relocation is no longer available.

Meanwhile, Prince William County Board of Supervisors are still considering if and how to pursue the Gainesville-Haymarket extension and fund the project.

I have attached some documents from the VRE Operations Board meeting for you | http://www.vre.org/about/board/board-agenda-minutes/2016/December/ghx-vreopsbd-121616final-pdf/ and http://www.vre.org/about/board/board-agenda-minutes/2017/January/11a-ghx-update-jan17-pdf/

Regards,

Suhas Naddoni
Councilmember, City of Manassas Park
