red bull and vodka go well together, better than that one where someone stole hurricane swill beer!

That's true. If only it was the same person who stole each one!

Awww, Dave! Anything specific? Believe me, no one's more rattled than me....but I think given timeRead More we'll all get used to it, as we do with anything. But if you're having trouble finding or figuring out how to use anything, please let me know!

The problem is that we got tricked into overpriced and premature rail, when we should have startedRead More with Bus Rapid Transit. Had we done that, we could long ago have extended an efficient, dedicated-road bus system from Falls Church out further than Ashburn, and about now we might be converting that to rail from Falls Church to Tysons Corner. By avoiding the ridiculous price of the Silver Line Metrorail, we could also have extended a dedicated-road bus system out toward Centreville and Woodbridge by now as well. Take a look at the pricetag for the Silver Line - $6 Billion for one single Metrorail line on the north side of Fairfax County and into Loudoun County. We are juggling the books to borrow the needed money for that, and County taxes and the Dulles Toll Road tolls will be repaying the gargantuan borrowing until at least 2048 (that's 35 years from now). Existing roads, bridges and rail, need varying degrees of maintenance and expansion. We now have the NVTA and a transportation tax authorization (that we voted down in 2002, by the way), but don't expect our Metrorail line to be its central focus - our rail line is only one little line on the northern edge of our transportation district. NVTA will be looking at the transportation needs of ALL of Prince William, Loudoun, Fairfax and Arlington Counties, as well as the cities of Falls Church, Alexandria, Fairfax, Manassas, and Manassas Park. We need financially viable options - not overpriced, premature rail.

Hi Bob - "By avoiding the ridiculous price of the Silver Line Metrorail, we could also haveRead More extended a dedicated-road bus system out toward Centreville and Woodbridge." I won't address price because the finances of the Silver Line are another story...but actually, Bob, we already have or had Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) [See ---http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/9600/brt-creep-makes-bus-rapid-transit-inferior-to-rail/] I used it for years commuting to the Pentagon: Metro and Connector Express Buses. There are pseudo light rail like stations at Herndon/Monroe St and there are supposedly bus lanes on the Toll Road. You saw how well that worked in getting people to get out of their cars. With population growth it didn't and it resulted in more paving. The bus lanes became HOV. You are correct that the Silver Line is but one line - and it will need bus connections - frequent and extensive connections - not just during rush hour -along with big parking lots. BRT is an attempt to replicate rail on the cheap - penny wise and pound foolish. Granted I have my prejudices: when I was trained as an Army Transportation Officer we were taught and observed through the years that flanged wheels on steel rails is the most efficient and economical way of moving large numbers of people and materiel. We have been neglecting multi-modal: rail, light rail, and bus for so long in favor of highway interests that we are now in a mess with a reputation as the nation's gridlock capital.

So, Mark - you are advocating premature rail instead of Bus Rapid Transit, not because BRT is a badRead More solution, but because our governments don't do Bus Rapid Transit correctly. The huge financing problems that result are therefore not the price of transportation, they are the price of bad government. But it seems to me that if you can sell the concept of premature and massively expensive rail to our government leaders, you can sell the concept of properly-designed Bus Rapid Transit to them as well. I don't think that throwing big money at transportation is the solution. Consider the million-dollar bus 'super-stops' in Arlington County. For the budgeted $948,000 per stop, those should have been really nice bus stops - but they were a ridiculous and total disaster. WMATA and Arlington got together and came up with that nonsense, and now they have been investigating themselves about that for more than a month - with no results whatsoever. Clearly they just want to bury the story, and make us forget all about it. And consider the big transit center in Silver Spring, where the government and the contractors didn't take it seriously. Like WMATA and Arlington government, they saw transit construction as a big welfare delivery system just for them. I think that we should address the real problem - bad government - instead of overpaying for premature rail.
