“Dear PoPville,

Just an FYI – there are a bunch of proposed bus cuts if local jurisdictions don’t step up to pay Metro’s full funding cost. I feel like the bus cuts are being overshadowed by potential changes to rail.

People can come to the Board meeting at 1pm Thursday (unlikely) [600 5th Street NW] or fill out the online form by noon Wednesday.”

Thanks to a reader for sending from stadium/armory this morning. You can see the current silver line stations here. Dulles is projected to open sometime in 2018.
