A reader sends around 9:45am from 16th and Harvard St, NW: “one of the shiny new s line buses just broke down mid-route.”
In happier 16th Street bus news DDOT’s @WeMoveDC tweeted:
“We are proposing peak-hour peak-direction bus lanes, requiring a reversible lane the length of the corridor. #16thStreetBus”
“Off-board fare payment and all-door boarding are also proposed for the #16thStreetBus Lines.”
“The peak-hour/peak-direction bus lane would save 2.5 minutes of travel time, the most of all of the improvements. #16thStreetBus”
“We are still going through the improvements for time savings and will have more info about these at the Jan 21 meeting #16thStreetBus”
“Will have more exact numbers at Jan 21 mtg, but we estimate a 4-7 min improvement in travel time w/ preferred alternative #16thStreetBus”
“We hope to keep #16thStreetBus headways to 2 min, otherwise you see bunching.”
You can read more about the plans here. Stay tuned.

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!
