==== Individual and infill stations ====
Before construction on Metro began, a proposed station was put forward for the [[John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts|Kennedy Center]]. Congress had already approved the construction of a station on the Orange/Blue/Silver Lines at 23rd and H Streets, near George Washington University, at the site of what is now [[Foggy Bottom–GWU station|Foggy Bottom station]]. According to a ''Washington Post'' article from February 1966, rerouting the line to accommodate a station under the center would cost an estimated $12.3&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kennedy Center Subway Link Called Expensive|date=February 18, 1966|newspaper=The Washington Post|page=A22}}</ref> The [[National Capital Transportation Agency]]'s administrator at the time, Walter J. McCarter, suggested that the Center "may wish to enhance the relationship to the station by constructing a pleasant, above-ground walkway from the station to the Center," referring to the then soon-to-be-built Foggy Bottom station. Rep. [[William B. Widnall]], [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] of [[New Jersey]], used it as an opportunity to push for moving the center to a central, downtown location.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ghostsofdc.org/2013/06/25/proposed-kennedy-center-metro-stop-too-expensive/|title=Proposed Kennedy Center Metro Stop Too Expensive|last=Tom|date=June 25, 2013|website=Ghosts of DC|language=en-US|access-date=February 19, 2019|archive-date=February 20, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220003101/https://ghostsofdc.org/2013/06/25/proposed-kennedy-center-metro-stop-too-expensive/|url-status=live}}</ref>

The 2011 Metro transit-needs study identified five additional sites where infill stations could be built. These included Kansas Avenue and [[Montgomery College]] on the Red Line, respectively in Northwest D.C. and Rockville, Maryland; Oklahoma Avenue on the Blue, Orange, and Silver Lines near the [[D.C. Armory]] in Northeast D.C.; Eisenhower Valley on the Blue Line in Alexandria, Virginia; and the [[St. Elizabeths Hospital]] campus on the Green Line in Southeast D.C.<ref name="rtsp" />{{Rp|11}} An infill station between Takoma and Silver Spring called [[North Takoma station]] that used to be part of the [[Metropolitan Subdivision]] was proposed.<ref>{{cite web |title=Silver Spring Downtown and Adjacent Communities Plan Briefing, Montgomery County Planning Board, Item No. 7, 09-30-2021 |url=https://montgomeryplanningboard.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/2021-0930-SSDACUpdate-signed.pdf |website=Montgomery Planning Board |publisher=Maryland National-Capital Parks and Planning Commission |access-date=28 March 2025}}</ref>
