This is the first I've heard of this plan.... pretty interesting idea. On Thursday, the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority approved close to 40 million dollars toward the construction of a streetcar line that will run from Pentagon City out toward Bailey's X-roads. That whole stretch of Columbia Pike is pretty crowded, it seems like a good place for mass transit. It's also sort of unnerving the way this unelected body, the NVTA, can just raise taxes and appropriate money with such apparent ease.
