WOODBRIDGE, Va. -- The cost to extend Virginia Railway Express 11 miles west to Haymarket could be as much as $660 million -- about $60 million per mile.
That number brought pause to members of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors who on Tuesday said the costs of the project might outweigh the ridership benefits, and that could lead to the project's demise.
Transportation officials last fall began a $4 million study on what it would take to extend the commuter rail line west of Manassas. While Haymarket would be the ultimate end of the line, the railroad is evaluating other options like building a shorter extension only to Innovation Park just outside Manassas, or one to two stations in Gainesville.

Lovejoy: 1. Reconciling the opinions some in the region have about the city, with the more positive truth.
PL: What concrete solutions do you propose to address these issues?
Lovejoy: To be the citizen’s voice. To aid residents in interfacing with the government (customer service). To recognize that being elected comes with the requirement to commit to a higher ideal, to recognize one is in the unique position to, ever so modestly, change our community for the better and attempt to rally others to that cause.
PL: What expertise will you bring to the office?
Lovejoy: Individual citizens working together make a community strong– not the government. I’ve practiced what I preached and have served the community in many non-governmental roles including as President of the Manassas City Public Schools Education Foundation, as a volunteer for Historic Manassas, Inc., as Vice President of the Point of Woods HOA and currently as Chairman of the Tri-County Walk to End Alzheimer’s, in honor of my Grandfather, Clennie Lovejoy. I was recently named one of Northern Virginia’s “40 under 40”, recognized as one of the most “influential people in their professional industries and catalysts of community impact.”

As Woodbridge continues to grow, planners are focused on easing traffic congestion and bringing new transportation options to the area.
Those considering moving to Woodbridge are families with elementary-school aged children, according to realtor Mark Worrilow, who has sold real estate in the region for nearly 20 years.
"I'm not getting questions about Metro expansion to Woodbridge, or if there is a ferry that can take people to work in D.C.," said Worrilow.
