Developer EYA's plans for the Takoma Metro site include "studio to
three-bedroom units and 10,000-20,000 square feet of retail," reports DC

<https://dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blog/a-glimpse-of-the-350-unit-proposed-at-takoma-metro-station/19571>.
"Roughly 50-80 units would be affordable to households earning up to 60% of
area median income (AMI)...
"There would be 184 residential and retail parking spaces and
a pick-up/drop-off/loading turnaround area under the building off Cedar
Street. The site will also be reconfigured, which will eliminate WMATA's
existing short-term parking and convert the Kiss & Ride drop-off to a
driveway loop. Two acres of open space will be split across a passive park
along Eastern Avenue and an activated retail plaza with terraced steps at
the Metro entrance along Carroll Street."
