Without financial backing, the lawsuit may run out of steam. WMATA can stall, and without an actual injunction (unlikely to occur, but not impossible) the approval, design and construction can proceed.WMATA is not a party in the law suit. They have no dog in this fight. The suit is between Tysons Tunnel Inc. and United States Department of Transportation. The construction of the N Route Silver line is being built under the Virginia Public-Private Transportation Act (PPTA) of 1995. The parties in this project are the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and the Bechtel Washington Group Partnership (Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project). The only involvement WMATA has is providing the basic design specification to the PPTA group need to for construction of the line, stations and support facilities. I'm still concerned about WMATA's ability to maintain the new line as well as its existing infrastructure. That is a totally different issue. |
