I was just curious what others think about the NY Ave station now that it impacts us daily riders more directly. I'm not sure about how I feel on the concept of "in-fill stations" based on the disruption it causes to existing operations. However, Metro has done a pretty good job getting the word out on upcoming disruptions and always has a ton of staff on hand (usually standing around though). I'm curious to see how this experience will influence plans for a Potomac Yards stop on the Blue/Yellow lines.
Also, I'm not sure how well the surrounding area hosts pedestrians and high-density development considering the vacant lots and high traffic density and speeds. Furthermore, if the Expos dont move to DC and have the stadium there, it will present a struggle to maximize the development potential of the area.
The one nice thing will be a very convienient train watching spot at any time of day from a safe distance, providing doing so won't seem suspicious to station managers and Metro police.
