Future
In November 2010, WMATA authorized $37 million in capital improvements on the Red Line. This is a part of $212 million of work on the Red Line scheduled over 2010-2014. In December 2009, WMATA began construction of a new 1,200-car parking garage to supplement the existing 1,700-car parking garage at the Glenmont station. The new garage is expected to open in 2011 and was funded by the State of Maryland.
Montgomery County has submitted a federal $20 million grant application to build a pedestrian tunnel under Wisconsin Avenue to improve access to the Medical Center stop. If funded, construction would occur in 2011.

No prophecy, however seemingly extravagant, as to future achievements in this way [is] likely to equal the reality.”

And so—for God’s sake—hock and soda-water!”
