Whatever the funding or final form that extension takes it needs to be built sooner rather than later. The growth in the area to the west, notwithstanding the airport traffic which is directly related, is "exponential". I work out of Washington Dulles and, on occasion as I will be tomorrow, Reagan National. At least a half dozen times over the last few months I'll find myself sitting in Fairfax or Loudon County and am told I need to hightail it over to Arlington. I immediately pack my bags,take the next hotel shuttle back to Dulles, hop on the Washington Flyer bus to West Falls Metro, jump on the Orange Line, transfer over to the Blue Line at Rosslyn, and finally end up at Reagan National. It is a selfish commentary I know, but even for a railfan that sort of commute is beyond tiresome. All whining aside, there are many commuters like me, both domestic and international, who would benefit. The people of Tysons Corner and the state/federal taxpayers, depending on the revenue source, well, that is another thread altogether. Now I am off to the Burlington, Vermont airport to see if I can even get down to Washington, DC this afternoon what with the weather up here and all. You "Southern folk" like Selkirk TMO don't know how easy you got it... |
