Okay, I guess I'm asking you then. Is anything wrong with weapons research?

What's wrong with weapons research?

don't question his bbq snobiness!

You fail to provide information such as guest count and venue.

Some restaurants may be able to do so via direct negotiation, but head count is really going to matter a lot in most cases, in terms of a company's ability to do so.

She started charging.

Still remember the day the People's Drug became CVS.

Inevitably you'll come across a shooting near the liquor store, or encounter a belligerent person on the street. If it's something you would prefer not to deal with, I wouldn't recommend the area.

>whether the area has gotten safer

That's a very relative term. Consider that Sursum Corda was arguably the roughest project in the city during the murder capital's deepest plunge.

FCPS early 2000s was definitely a thing, although I think people talked about it more than actually doing it.

Good fences make good neighbors street merchants.

There would be an immediate drop in crime rates.

The new Wilson Bridge [was designed for later installation of a future rapid transit system].(https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/2001/04/06/new-stops-in-wilson-bridge-rail-plan/c491a6de-0e43-4dd6-b44b-f310702bf9e7/).

It's probably fair to assume that from the time that the Federal Government was building the airport and the access road in the 1960s, and reserved the median of the access road for future mass transit use, that everyone had a fairly good idea about what travel times out there would be.

You're talking about a right-of-way wide enough for two tracks, for a system that has only operated two-track lines. And as noted, skip-stop service doesn't really save that much time, and is probably not worth the operational hassle.

Not the agency that built the line.

Between that and the manpower, sounds like a PCP trip, or other psychotic drug.

Thanks - we were all dying to know your particular commuting and travel habits.

MWAA, not WAMTA, is building the Silver Line...

> known issue

What issue? The vast majority of metro systems around the world use two tracks.

>Adding a new line

On what right-of-way?

Wouldn't it be DDOT that does reserved bus lanes? WMATA doesn't own any public roads.

Good point - the only ones going through Dulles are business travelers.

If anything, credit should be given to the planners of Dulles Airport back in the 1950s and 1960s for reserving the median right-of-way in the Dulles Toll Road, for a future rapid transit system to the airport that none of them would themselves live to see.

Their prescience even allows for this discussion. I think most metropolitan areas haven't had the same opportunity to build rapid transit to major facilities.

They're probably anticipating people complaining over the length of travel from downtown DC to Dulles, and inevitably asking "Why can't you run express service?" (notwithstanding the fact that nearly all metro/subway systems on earth run standard local service - every train stops at every station on a given route).

By doing this analysis, they have a ready-to-go answer as to why it's not feasible.
