U.S. Transportation Secretary getting involved to get stakeholders to agree on way forward with Rail to Dulles.
Stakeholders in Metro's Silver Line Phase 2 will meet on Wednesday with U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood in the hopes of avoiding a delay - or even a collapse of plans - to the second part of rail to Dulles, The Washington Post reports.
The move comes as the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority said
this week it would not put out requests for bids on the project until
Loudoun County supervisors vote on whether to help pay for the project. . . .
Here is my comment on the Patch article (which is similar to one I've posted on the WaPo article):
If the "stakeholders in Metro's Silver Line Phase
2" are meeting with Secretary LaHood, WHO IS REPRESENTING THE DULLES
TOLL ROAD USERS WHO ARE PAYING FOR 75% OF PHASE 2??
Wait a minute, I know: The same people who stuck them with the
bill--your Fairfax & Loudoun County Boards and MWAA. Together, they
have a 25% stake in Phase 2.
Go figure!
