How would it get between the two? (Assuming you mean 14th St. NW)
Well I wasn't talking about just one line. More like separating the blue line coming from Rosslyn to go through Georgetown instead and up Wisconsin Avenue.
Silver Line replaces Blue line downtown to Largo.
New Blue line will go from Rossyln to Georgetown before proceeding up Wisconsin. Blue line will make a right turn off Wisconsin near Mass Avenue to cross Connecticut north of the Van Ness stop on the Red line. This would add a stop to Connecticut avenue before going east to add stops to 16th street and Georgia Avenue north of Petworth.
Blue line would then proceed northeast to a Takoma Park transfer stop with Red line and a Langley Park final destination.
My idea for 14th street is more simple. Just separate the Yellow line from the Green line and have it run up 14th street on its own tracks before joining up again with the Green line at Columbia Heights.
Yellow line would enter downtown on the current Yellow line bridge and share tracks with the Green line up to Chinatown. Yellow line will turn left to run up 14th street for a Thomas Circle stop (or even a Logan Circle stop on 13th) followed by two more stops on 14th street before meeting Green line again at Columbia Heights.
(Alternatively Yellow Line can avoid Green line and proceed to a real Adams Morgan stop. Then a stop in Mt Pleasant. Then proceed up 16th street to Silver Spring where it ends and meets Red line)
