Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Sun Jun 1 02:03:29 2008, in response to Re: WMATA: Agencies fantasy map, posted by Sand Box John on Wed May 28 00:42:07 2008. There is way more office space between I and P Streets these days than existed/was envisioned when the system was designed. The residential density between Dupont and Logan also has skyrocketed. The only crosstown transit between Georgetown and the business district is the G2 bus on P Street (either transfer to the Red or Green/Yellow for downtown). If you're going between Union Station and a destination North of Metro Center and east of Connecticut Av, your options are either the Red Line (maybe a transfer to the Blue/Orange for McPherson or Farragut) or the D6 or Circulator bus and hoofing it. A new crosstown trunk in M makes sense to reduce the load on the existing lines with a routing that is convenient for where people are going to and from today.I would add a southward continuation from the Red line in Wisconsin Av from where it currently heads east around Van Ness to a junction with the new Crosstown at Georgetown. (Allowing trains to head both to downtown or Virginia). Also include a rail connection between the Red and the Crosstown south of Dupont in addition to the Blue/Orange. |
