Wonder what the 'Committee of 100' think?

 

A big target for terrorists?

I am not sure that the 100 and their lawyer(s) are capable of thinking.

Query: is removing the old catenary supports in the plan? I noticed, this evening, that they are still there, at least south of the tunnel..

The proposed multi-billion expansion over the throat of WUS reminds one of Millennium Park in Chicago over the former Illinois Central. However, Amtrak is proposing significant upgrades to the station and expansion of the train platforms and overall capacity.
