From WMATA:
“Metro’s Brookland-CUA Station is primed for growth as part of a 10-year Strategic Plan for Joint Development to create a vibrant transit-oriented development. This includes changes to bus and Kiss & Ride facilities that would provide opportunities for a mix of housing and retail on Metro’s existing property around the station. Metro is asking the public to provide input on these proposed changes to the station’s transit facilities.
Under the proposal, Metro would reconfigure the bus loop, relocate the Kiss & Ride lot to an on-street facility, and reduce the existing 34 Kiss & Ride spaces to eight spaces. The proposed facility changes would enable Metro to seek a joint development partner to deliver approximately 400,000 square-feet of mixed-use development.
The proposed modifications to Brookland’s transit facilities advance Metro’s joint development program and Strategic Transformation Plan goals, which include growing ridership, generating new fare and tax revenues that support Metro and local jurisdictions, and fostering sustainable, local, and regional growth.
The changes to the configuration of bus and Kiss & Ride facilities will improve bicycle and pedestrian access and safety by reducing the number of crossings and interactions with passing vehicles. The reduction in Kiss & Ride spaces also align with customer pick-up and drop-of demand patterns. There are no changes to the capacity of bus facilities.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
