Anti-Purple Line Voices in the Gazette

Four letters were printed in the Gazette attacking Sen. Brian Frosh's comments in support of the Purple Line last week. Perhaps the choicest comments were:

If the Purple Line is built along the Capital Crescent Trail between Bethesda and Silver Spring, then the next logical step is to continue the light rail along the Capital Crescent Trail to River Road⁄Massachusetts Avenue⁄Westbard. After all, the goal of light rail proponents is to continue the light rail to Tyson’s Corner, and where else can it go but down the trail?

Will state Sen. Brian Frosh support a light rail to Westbard? Or are the trees and trail more precious in his neighborhood than in ours?
