Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

From email:

The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) would like to invite residents to the third round of public meetings that will be held in December in support of the Metrobus 30s Line Study.

The purpose of the project is to help identify and implement bus service improvements for Metrobus Routes 30, 32, 34, 35, 36, and M6.

The December public meetings will focus on draft service plan recommendations that were developed based on responses to the June rider survey, input from the July and October public meetings, and technical analyses conducted by the study team.

The meetings will be held in two locations to make it easier for District residents who live along the 30s and M6 bus routes to participate. Each meeting will include the same program consisting of an open house from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a presentation and group exercise from 7 pm to 8:30 pm.

------------------
I still think that the answer is to split this bus line up. How many people really go from Friendship Heights out Pennsylvania Avenue SE? Where is the major transfer point? Maybe there could be a Wisconsin Ave./Foggy Bottom line, and a Pennsylvania Avenue/Foggy Bottom line? Or some such.
