Shyam Kannan, WMATA director of planning, spoke to a large gathering of transit enthusiasts last night at George Mason University’s Arlington campus.
It was an interesting discussion hosted by Arlington County as part of its RoundAbouts Speakers Series and also featuring a panel with Mobility Lab Director Tom Fairchild, Northern Virginia Transportation Commission Executive Director Kelley Coyner, and Arlington Transit Chief Steve Del Giudice.
There were some interesting points that came up about metro issues in the downtown core, the potential expansion of a new Rosslyn station, and talk about the “loop” service. I was there live tweeting the event, and thanks to a few other folks’ tweets, here’s a recap of the event in its entirety. Pictures of some of the slides and all.
