Greater Greater Washington. The Washington, DC area is great. But it could be greater.

Proposed Metro expansion in 2001

In 2001, WMATA proposed a set of expansions for the overburdened system.

The Blue Line extension to Largo Town Center was built. The extension from Falls Church west to Dulles recently cleared several hurdles and appears solidly on track to be built. But the Blue Line segment within DC was abandoned in 2003.

David Alpert is the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Greater Greater Washington. He has had a lifelong interest in great cities and great communities. He worked as a Product Manager for Google for six years and has lived in the Boston, San Francisco, and New York metro areas in addition to Washington, DC. He loves the area which is, in many ways, greater than those others, and wants to see it become even greater.
