The modernization and expansion of Union Station in DC include a new train hall, expanded rail, improved parking, modern bus facilities, and retail spaces. While some criticize the high cost without significant rail service improvements, others appreciate the station's architecture.
We're learning more about what D.C.'s Union Station could look like in the future. https://t.co/hgpgOQxyjI https://t.co/p8SwJiVM6W
The architecture of Union Station is beautiful and I don’t think anyone who used the station wanted it turned into something more like an airport. https://t.co/cAXn7QhhAm
Pssst: the problem with Union Station wasn’t the architecture. People stopped hanging out there because of the crime, drugs, shoplifting, and homeless folks using it as a bathroom. No one said, “Man, I’d go back there if they kept all that but put in some sci-fi skylight things.” https://t.co/LzCMcsELXl
Spending billions of dollars to rebuild Union Station at a time when there's no plan to significantly improve or expand rail service is a major mistake. In the future, if there's ever some plan to actually address rail service, the station will have to be rebuilt again. https://t.co/WAQvs0Sruu
Today is a massive step forward for the modernization & expansion of Union Station. A new train hall, expanded rail, right-sized parking, modern bus facilities, concourses with retail, dining, & shopping… this is what we fought hard for and is a big win for DC and our region. https://t.co/dql2mPPdnp
