[Anonymous]

How do you feel about this, I think its ugly and unnecessary.

A stop at National Harbor sounds good! (if financially possible).

I wish they’d connect McLean to Bethesda or some other red line stop to alleviate the American Legion Bridge headache without having to go through DC.

I think it’s a great idea. I look forward to riding it in 2075 when they finally finish.

100%. This map seems like a moon shot anyway. They should think bigger.

There is a metro stop in McLean, there is a metro stop in Bethesda. It takes about an hour door to door. You can get through a lot of audio books without the driving hassle.

Wait you think it’s ugly…like the new metro map would be ugly or the underground metro would be ugly?

But imagine if they laid track along 495 and connected those two lines, and the trip could be done in a third of the time!

Who is going to pay for the new river crossing?

Every single one of us here will be dead by the time this is done, IF it gets done, and our own kids will probably be retired.

Make a bigger loop and go down Columbia Pike. If we’re talking moonshot and all….

Run the orange line over to Bowie in the US 50 median

Chances are greater the USS Enterprise launches into space before this plan ever comes to fruition.

I agree with all the above and make a bigger loop by connecting the burbs in Va and Md. Similar to the Yamamote loop line in Tokyo.
