@TODNewsHub@Dave_Tonight If you could use this to get up the hill to upper Georgetown/Burleith or even Glover Park which have terrible transit & traffic & are tough to bike in too but fairly dense this could be really useful transit infra & tourists would likely pay to ride too.
@fawfulfan The things you cite are actually why this location might make a lot of sense if you use it to cross the Potomac (way cheaper than a bridge) and get to Georgetown & up the hill to Glover Park which are both dense & traffic choked but lacking transit as this would be way cheaper.
