Union Station North Mezzanine "Partial Build" Scenario, PM Peak Period, 2030

The above video illustrates the a future scenario (2030) for the "north mezzanine" of the Union Station Metrorail station during the evening peak period. This mezzanine connects the main terminal of Union Station (Amtrak, MARC, VRE) with 1st Street Northeast and the Metrorail platform. Individual passengers are represented as colored dots, with each color representing an eventual destination. For example, yellow dots represents passengers going to the Amtrak/commuter rail concourse. While most dots are narrow, the wider dots illustrate passengers with luggage who use the wider fare gates for easier Metro system access and egress.

The simulation shows the how planned improvements will greatly reduce crowding in the station. The full study and additional videos will be available on website of Metro's Office of Long Range Planning: http://planitmetro.com.
