The Alexandria city council is expected to make a final decision soon.
I think they should install one station near the King St. Metro station. Then add four stations in Old Town and one station closer to Old Town North.
They should also coordinate with the FAST Potomac Yard group and see if they are willing to sponsor a station or two in the Alexandria section of Potomac Yard. FAST already sponsors the existing station at S. Glebe Rd., just across the border in Arlington. (The Crystal City BID co-sponsors most of the other Crystal City stations, but not the S. Glebe Rd. station.)
Extra stations in the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria would tie together the Crystal City and Old Town stations. The infrastructure is also in place. Both the Mt. Vernon Trail and the new Potomac Avenue trail (and road) are available for cyclists. The Potomac Yard stations would draw members because of the shopping center and the restaurants nearby.
