Yellow Line to Fort Totten expected to be approved

Published



An 18-month pilot program extending Metro’s Yellow Line from Gallery Place-Chinatown to Fort Totten is expected to be approved today after Maryland and District officials reached what some say “is a good compromise.”

The $5.75 million proposal would extend the Yellow Line during off-peak and weekend hours to help ease congestion that has plagued the Shaw, U Street, Columbia Heights and Georgia Avenue stations for the past year.
