"More than one Metro station is definitely justified ... I put two in my scheme, one at Del Ray, just south of where they have it, and the other just south of Four Mile Run."

Are all of you young things aware that this is almost exactly the layout in the original Potomac Yard plan ("Alexandria 2020") which was killed by Del Ray in the 1990s? The Yard was envisioned as a major transit hub and there was to be one station on the Arlington side, one in Alexandria.

A visionary plan killed dead by one neighborhood and its then-leader Eric Wagner (rewarded by being placed on Planning Commission for life).
