The letter from the Silver Line Phase 2 Coalition below suggests that the costs of Phase 2 of the Silver Line could be cut to $2.6-$2.8 billion. It is the first time we've seen this much of a cut proposed and the details of what those cuts might be. Along with the shifts in costs to local jurisdictions that are also being contemplated, this could mean a major reduction in the growth of future Dulles Toll Road fares--at least from building the Silver Line's Phase 2.
We are not counting these chickens before they've hatched, however. Nonetheless, it's nice to know some of the hens have laid some eggs. Now we can just get the big, ugly MWAA hen to do its part, we might actually have something, well, worth crowing about!
