Metro planners trying to unclog the choked subway are proposing a
bypass through the heart of the transit system: a new $6.3 billion
subway line to run from Arlington County, under the Potomac River and
through the center of the District to Robert F. Kennedy Memorial
Stadium.

The suggested 22-mile leg, which is being called the new Blue Line,
could include room for 11 new stations. Among them would be a stop in
Georgetown -- at M Street NW and Wisconsin Avenue -- where the idea of
a Metro station was shunned a generation ago but is now welcomed as a
tonic for parking and traffic problems.
