Another Store Closes At Reston Town Center

RESTON, VA -- Another Reston Town Center tenant closed its doors for good this week, but it will be reopening nearby in a few weeks.

The Bike Lane closed on May 28 and plans to reopened at a new location in mid June at "an exciting new space down the road, still in Reston," the website states.

The shop will be located on the W&OD trail with "plenty of free parking and only two blocks from the Wiehle Metro," the site adds. The Bike Lane's new address will be at 11150 Sunset Hills Road.

The Bike Lane had been one of many merchants to object to Boston Properties' decision to start charging for parking at Reston Town Center in early 2017. Merchants claimed they lost business as a result of the move, and many who have moved out have cited paid parking as a major reason.

However, Boston Properties has said during quarterly earnings calls -- and in an interview with Patch -- that Reston Town Center is doing extremely well and continues to experience strong demand. Executives say they are having no problem leasing space at RTC.
