For the 12 or so miles that the DC Metro wants to extend out towards Dulles Airport, they are throwing around terms like "billions" like they were on commission. I can only imagine how much that would cost, to dig out all the underground, high-water table Metro stations that already absorb ground and river water.
I doubt anybody would put such a plan in action - hundreds of millions of dollars for something that might affect, what, 10, 20 people a year? I think Stephanie is right in that it would be well-nigh impossible to implement on a city-wide scale; however, I think Ellen's question will be raised by lots of city and transportation planners, and probably implemented in newer station construction. See?
