I prefer the tunnel - I think the whole shebang should be in tunnel until it comes out onto the Dulles Access Road.You an I are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Here is my reason. The tunnel concept promoted by Tysons Tunnel Inc violates all of the established standards that were put to paper back in the 1960s. The stations in subway bear no resemblance to any of the existing subway stations in the system. If they can't get their respective acts together, they stand to lose the funding, and thus the whole initiative might be considered 'dead'. As pointed out in the first article the folks are starting to bail on Tysons Tunnel Inc. They want this extension. They are shifting their support to the elevated alignments that came out of the FEIS. I have few problems with the elevated alignment, I don't like the station in the ditch at Pike Seven Plaza. That station should be an exact copy of the Spring Hill Road station with east portals in the middle of loop ramp of the interchange east of the station. I would rather see the less the perfect elevated alignments then a bastardized versions of WMATA's metrorail stations in subway. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
