The transit system was not part of the talks, which involved Virginia transportation officials, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority and Dulles Rail Partners. Board members are worried that the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation and the Washington Metropolitan Airports Authority, which will take over the project, haven't given enough consideration to building a rail tunnel through Tysons Corner. Metro is interested in the tunnel because studies indicate it will be cheaper to maintain and replace than above-ground rail.[...]
A vote on the funding agreement is slated for May, but board members could delay action if they believe their concerns are being ignored.
Good for Metro, at least someone is thinking long-term here. I just hope that they are able to sidetrack this project before it's too late. As the Tysons Tunnel people say, "it's not over until it's under!"

Lets take as many people as possible to Richmond and fix this fiasco.
