I simply am saying that planners need to do more than simply assume that Metro can absorb all the density that they want to put everywhere. There are capacity limits with a two-track system, and our plans are rapidly approaching those limits. More density along the Rockville Pike will have an impact on how useful the Metro system is within the Beltway, and DC planners need to be looking at transportation capacity, other infrastructure concerns, and carefully consider the impact of development plans outside their jurisdiction as well as development that is in the pipeline, both inside and outside the District, and the zoning envelope within their jurisdiction. Since I am not a Montgomery County resident, I am not advocating for or against this plan, just cautioning that DC needs to consider the impact of this plan as it makes its own decisions.
