As phase two of the Metro Silver Line grows closer, residents worry the financing strategy may bring unintended consequences to Reston's roadways.
Now, concerns of Reston residents are the sound of construction, but soon, it could be the sound of congestion.
"There are [a] couple of backlashes. First of all, traffic diversion," said Terry Maynard, a member of the Reston Citizens Association Board.
Maynard and Tammy Patrine head the Reston Citizens Association (sic--both are Board members, but neither is President). They say their studies show if Dulles tolls spike to finance a longer metro line, 30,000 extra drivers could take to Reston's roads to avoid extra fees. . . .Note: Maynard actually said that 30,000 extra drivers daily would take to Dulles Corridor area roads with about 10,000 of those drivers going to or through Reston.
