The road-builders are trying to fight it too.
It would be nice to get it out to Tysons, but we are already looking at getting Metrorail out to Tysons, and while the details are far from optimal, it is a lot further along in the planning process (they are on the verge of starting some of the utility relocation, actually). In the long run, I imagine that they could link it up with a Metrorail station somewhere in the area, and have a nice connector between two Metrorail stations.
From memory, Ed had quite the rail hub @ Tysons Corner.
The Silver line through to Dulles and then Leesburg (subway/Rapid Rail)
Columbia Pike terminus (Light Rail)
Virginia Beltway terminus (Light Rail)
Purple Line extended from Bethesda MD to Tysons Corner (new terminus, Light Rail).
Three Light Rail termini and one through WMATA line, for five "spokes"
A way to get around "The Beltway" and avoid going through central DC.
Visionary, yes. Worthwhile, YES !
Best Hopes for doubling Urban Rail pax-miles in DC area,
Alan
