Adjourn

Red line stations are open

Posted by nextstoprp in Transportation

Metro reopened stations on the red line between Takoma and Glenmont on September 1.

Metro news release: https://wmata.com/about/news/Four-Red-Line-stations-reopen-Sept-1-MTA-Purple-Line-construction-continues-at-Silver-Spring.cfm

Thankfully, that means that the large number of charter buses idling on Galloway Street and along South Dakota Avenue, damaging neighborhood roads, and creating safety hazards in the neighborhood are now gone. Hopefully the next time Metro decides to shut down nearby stations, they will utilize their huge parking lot at Fort Totten station for shuttle buses instead of housing a bunch of buses in the neighborhood.
