Cheesesteak Shop Plans for 2030 DC Metro with Map on Menu

This is just curious and interesting, as we all ponder authoritative data questions. Two folks wrote in to Greater Greater Washington to report that the Metro map on the back of the sandwich shop's menu shows stops that don't currently exist - because the map is of a future version of the DC transit lines.

The story gets more interesting when you read the comments. One person suggests the map is in use since unlike the current one which is under copyright, this one is under a creative commons license. Another writer thinks it's an awareness campaign (if we believe it will be built...)
