RA Wants Silver Line to Extend Into Loudoun, Reston Patch, April 7, 2012

Reston Association president says rail must go all the way to Dulles International Airport and beyond.
Reston Association president Kathleen Driscoll McKee said on Friday the organization supports the completion of Metro's Silver Line to Dulles International Airport and into Loudoun County.
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors will vote April 10 whether to support Phase 2, which will run from Reston Wiehle's Avenue (the end of Phase 1) to Loudoun County.
The Wiehle Station is scheduled to open in late 2013.
However, with several issues such as cost control and a mandatory Project-Labor Agreement, support from Loudoun County is uncertain. Loudoun County has until July to make a decision.
Reston Association has advocated for the completion of Phase 2 over the last two years. In separate letters to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), the RA Board said that this most important public works project would bring success to the entire region only if it were completed all the way into Loudoun County. . . .
