Future
On November 16, 1995, WMATA and the developer of the Potomac Yards area of Alexandria, Virginia, signed an agreeement to construct a new station that will be financed by the developer. As of February 2011, WMATA was taking public comments in order to prepare a draft environmental impact statement for the station. A second improvement project involves building a pedestrian tunnel to interconnect the Gallery Place station with Metro Center. A July 2005 study proposed connecting the eastern mezzanine of Metro Center with the western mezzanine of Gallery Place that are only one block apart. The proposed connection would reduce the number of passengers that use the Red Line to transfer between the Yellow Line and the Blue and Orange lines at Metro Center. As of 2011, the project remains unfunded.
