“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. (more…)

“Metro will begin track work over the weekend, August 12-13, that will require single tracking between Eastern Market and Stadium-Armory stations, reducing service on the Blue and Orange lines to every 24 minutes. Silver Line trains will also turn back at Federal Center SW instead of going to Downtown Largo. On the Red Line trains will single track between Grosvenor and Medical Center with trains operating every 20 minutes only between Friendship Heights and Shady Grove. (more…)
Thanks to DJ for sending: “the 8th St. NE extension of the MBT from Dew Drop to Brookland Pint is almost done. Cars only northbound now and they are starting to paint the bike lanes and parking spots.”
But how do they really feel?
Thanks to A. for sending.
