Tysons Tunnel Supporters not giving up!

There are those that still fight or push to get the metro line that will cut through Tysons Corner and head out to the Dulles airport and beyond below ground. The tunnel Supporters.

A recent article by Mirza Kurspahic in The Connection papers titled "Tunnel Hope Revived," indicated that Scott Monett and other supporters of changing the planned silver line metro to a tunnel have not given up hope. In fact it indicates that because of the election and the change in administration that the tunnel supporters have "revived hope."

In the article Scott Monett, the head of the Tysons Tunnel support efforts, is quoted as saying that the election "shuffled the deck." The belief is that the new president and his new staff may be more supportive of the tunnel than the previous administration.

A tunnel would definately be friendlier to the environment and the skyline. The opinion of those involved in the planning and approving of the metro thus far was that it would be too costly. Because of the lack of open bidding that is unknown. Hope definately springs eternal.
