Lots of little things to pass along:
* Per
Dr. Gridlock (because I forgot to check myself), tomorrow the WMATA board
will be voting to discontinue the
N22 line that runs between the Union Station, Eastern Market, and Navy Yard Metro stations. The city will be replacing it with a
Circulator bus that is also supposed to stop at the new Capitol Vistors Center (but will not include the daytime loop over to
Maritime Plaza at 12th and M). You can read
the report to the board for a summary of the public comments received on the proposed change.
* Another
Anacostia Waterfront Forum is being held,
on March 17 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the MLK Library. This month's topic is "The Economics of Developing the Anacostia Waterfront" and will feature Deputy Mayor Neil Albert, Alex Nyhan of Forest City (who works on
the Yards), and others.
Here's DDOT's release on the February forum.
* I've been remiss in not mentioning the city's new web site,
consumer.dc.gov, devoted to consumer protection issues, with a focus right now on targeting unlicensed towing businesses, auto repair shops, and home improvement contractors. And
DCRA has been Twittering for a while now (if you follow them you've gotten to read my pleas to get the
building permits feed flow unstuck, which they took care of yesterday. Thanks!).
