A WTOP story discusses a recently released report from VA that examined ways to improve traffic on Rt. 1 from the Beltway to Rt. 123. "An option to study extending the Yellow Line from Huntington to Ft. Belvoir, ending in Woodbridge didn't survive the initial study. Researchers found there may not be enough land, business development and ridership to support Metro, but also the project would cost too much money." http://www.wtop.com/654/3592161/How-to- ... Ft-Belvoir
The story, however, ends by noting that "state officials will now take several months to study bus-rapid transit, light-rail and the Metro hybrid option more in-depth. They will look at cost, land use and project how many people would ride each option."
So, it doesn't look like a YL extension is out, but it doesn't look like it's in, either.
