roslyn,rvinia. our transportation reporter adam tuss is there live to explain how it would all rk. sounds like it's a long ways off, if that. >> reporter: definitely, jim. let the debate begin because a new study is actually under way to look at all of this, and why it sounds like a fancy mtro idea, there is actually a need for this because you can't get anotherh train tugh the train tere at rosslyn. how do you ge more people from rosslyn to the district? you won't swim across the potomac, right? >> no, no, no, i don't want to get sick. ut>> reporter: what abolike a zip line or something, would you like that? definitely not a zip line. i'm afraid of heights. >> reporter: aside from paddleboarding, metro can help. mething that metro has been dealing with for a long time, how do you get more trains from this side of the river in rosslyn all the way across here into georgetown potentialr

going nto the district? something the agency is studying. here's the main reason they are studying this. the current tunnel between rosslyn and d.c. can onlyle hand a set number of trains per hour and with the blue, orange and silver lines all trying to cram through the tunnel, it's known as the worst traffic choke point along the metro system. take a look at this map of a potential new route for the blue line. a second line allows the route to split off and have stops in places like georgetown, west end, thomas circle, even station.ay to union india booker walking across the key bridge from georgetown to rosslyn. she would love to have a new georgetown metro station. >> that would be perfect as well, yes. there should be a stop there, definitely. and the study will take about two yers and make n mistake. a new tunnel could cost billions but ulme say it wobe better than the current setup. >> of course i'm upset, you know. it's not easy for me.

>> reporter: for now we wait to see if a second rosslyn station and tunnel are worth it. can you imagine the construction headache if we did this through georgetown and the west end? it would be something, but this new study is going to let u know whether or not it's all worthwhile. guys, back to you. >> also, you know, adam,aving en here a long time when i first got here to go here to au in the late '70s, people said that there wn't a metro stop there because of the -- some kind of special rock underneath georgetown that couldn't be penetrated. that's just an urban myth? >> there are so many urban myths about whywn georgeto does not have a metro station that you could do a whole segment on that. maybe we will. >> why don't we. >> reporter: maybe we will. >> yes. >> i'll tell you this. >> yes. >> exactly. >> i could tell you this. it could potentially happen. let's see what the study shows. >> reporter: meanwhile, still going to be riding my 30s
