I could not find a thread devoted to the potential future Metrorail station at Potomac Yard, so I thought I would start one.
Today's news is that the FTA has narrowed the possible locations to Alternative A or B (see them here: http://potomacyardmetro.com/Copy%20of%2 ... 092412.jpg). The news story is here: http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/b ... l?page=all. Alternative D, the aerial station closer to the planned location of commercial high-rises in North Potomac Yard, was nixed. Also nixed was a CSX option whereby the City would purchase nearby land in order to straighten out CSX's tracks and thus allow a better location for Metro's tracks and station.
Websites devoted to the future station are listed below:
