A way to get around the Rosslyn Tunnel capacity program

Washington Post graphic by Nathaniel Vaughn Kelso.

Reid suggests that this past weekend's re-routing of subway travel in the region could be considered more permanently as a way to deal with capacity issues for the subway. He writes:

"A quick and cheap short term solution to the Rosslyn tunnel problem."

We've discussed on the blog before the idea of doing an Arlington Cemetary shuttle between Rosslyn and the Pentagon, since the station is lightly used, and changing the line routing along the lines of what WMATA just did...

This is one of those issues of making necessary, hard choices.
