Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
An architectural rendering of a gondola between Georgetown in Washington, D.C., and Rosslyn in northern Virginia.
It’s a common D.C. commuter complaint: there is no Metro station in the heart of Georgetown. But for three years, leaders on both sides of the Potomac have been weighing an unconventional solution — a gondola that would connect Rosslyn’s Blue, Orange and Silver Lines with Georgetown’s bustling streets. Now, the dream of propelling thousands of people over the Key Bridge by aerial cables is being tested in a wide-ranging study supported by public and private entities. Kojo talks to the team spearheading the Georgetown-Rosslyn gondola project and finds out how realistic this transit solution would be for our region.
