Proposed changes for the WMATA system, 2001

 

From a section of my paper that I must finish tomorrow... 

This is the image that appeared with this Post article, "Crowds Could Derail Decades of Progress," in 2001. 

Thank you to Lyndsay Layton, author of the piece, for digging up the image for me. 

This plan was scuttled in 2003, see "Metro Construction Projects Creak to Halt; Economic, Political Changes Cancel Expansion Plans, Spur Job Cuts, Early Retirements," Lyndsey Layton. Washington Post, July 13, 2003. pg. C.01.   (I can't find a free online accessible version of this story.) 

And in 2006, P. Takis Salpeas was fired. By then, for the most part, WMATA had devolved responsibility for expansion to the separate jurisdictions.
