Posted by Sand Box John on Sat Mar 24 15:12:47 2007, in response to Re: [Poll] Who will be the first in the nation to expand their Heavy Rail system?, posted by PATHman on Fri Mar 23 17:05:19 2007. WMATA-their track record shows they can handle expansion projects.You’re a little more optimistic then I. Their are various factions outside of WMATA that are in the middle of an 11th hour argument over whether the segment through Tysons Corner will be a combined elevated, surface and subway or an all subway segment. Requests for funding grant have not been submitted. On the other hand as noted in this forum, contract have been awarded and construction schedules are been prepared as I write this for the construction on the Second Avenue Subway The real question that should be asked is which heavy rail system will open the first segment of their expansion project first. Based on what I saw in the episode of Extreme Engineering of the South Ferry station last night, the odds are even or slightly favoring WMATA as to who will open first. My commentary on the incompetence that I saw in that episode is for a different thread. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
