   The Town of Chevy Chase has about 2,800 residents. "Chevy Chase" is   
   made up of five towns and villages and unincorporated area. That town   
   is a small part of Chevy Chase that incorporated itself as the "Town of   
   Chevy Chase". I would put the population of the Chevy Chase community   
   which includes five towns and villages and unincorporated area, which   
   is generally residents of the 20815 zip code at about 28,000. That   
   small town near the country club did pledge 15,000 to oppose the light   
   rail, it is a case of don't want it in their back yard, but in no way   
   does that town represent all of Chevy Chase. And even within that small   
   town there are residents who opposed supporting anti Purple Line   
   legislation. It is only that small town that has opposition to the   
   Purple Line.
