Readers weigh in on Metro's new line to Dulles International Airport, Dr. Gridlock (Robert Thomson), Washington Post, September 12, 2010

Dear Dr. Gridlock:

I foresee nightmarish traffic congestion both during and after construction of the Wiehle Avenue Metrorail station (and, later, the Reston Parkway station) and adjacent development. . .

. . . Traffic will escalate near the stations in Reston, and anyone attempting to drive out of Reston will be caught in it. Greatly expanded rapid bus transit would have been far less disruptive and costly.

-- Alice Markham, Reston


Dr. Gridlock's response doesn't address Ms. Markham's concerns, but provides a lengthy descriptive response about the planning for the still-not-officially-named Silver Line, especially Phase II.
