They're working on a new
VRE island-platform station that
ties better to both Crystal City Metro and
National Airport (via a pedestrianway).
For "Pentagon" traffic from Norfolk and Newport News, a Crystal City stop would be ideal (since a lot of DOD offices and contractors are in Crystal City)
For VRE studies, Option 2, the one that can best be connected to a new entrance to the existing Crystal City Metro station, was the one selected in the
study.
For CC2DCA walkway, Alternative A (
requires downloading) is the one that would connect from the "outer"/southern end of VRE Option 2 directly to DCA.
I'd think this'd be a great Amtrak stop(it is also proposed as a MARC stop, assuming a new Long Bridge) but will have to wait until there's 4 tracks (a new Track 0 on the DCA side is proposed), since it is now too easy to foul the Long Bridge by stopping here.
