In the Washington Post's "Metro’s Silver Line extension stirs redevelopment in Reston", Fredrick Kunkle talks about the expansion of the Metro's Silver Line and the Wiehle Avenue Station. Near the station, the city and the area is building a $750 million dollar area complete with hotels, parking and other expenses. This increase in urban spending in tandem with the expansion of the Metro line will hopefully draw a lot a water into the Reston area and bring the town a lot of revenue. The Metro Line is scheduled to open in December of 2013, but until then, the entire city is abuzz with construction.
My grandparents, who moved to Reston in the 70s, were promised that a Metro Line expansion was coming in their near future, but now in 2012, I think that this line is incredibly overdue. Hopefully, when I come home from college over the summers, I will be able to enjoy being able to take the metro line into DC and spend the days there.
