A bad day to leave home without my camera

At the last minute, I decided to ride to Capitol Hill via the Metropolitan Branch Trail--to boost the use numbers for the trail! Normally, I ride down North Capitol Street to Capitol Hill and back via the trail.

1. I saw that at least one bikesharing station has been installed to serve Catholic University/Brookland, placed adjacent to the Brookland Metro across from Catholic University on John McCormack Drive/Brookland Avenue.

2. I saw that vegetation needs to be trimmed on the trail.

3. That a graffiti wall had been converted to a mural on biking.

4. That at least one family was walking their daughter to school, from North of New York Avenue. They were probably going to the Two Rivers Charter School at 4th and Florida Ave., a couple blocks from the New York Avenue Metro station.

5. That the lip between the asphalt of the trail and the start of the sidewalk at the M Street entrance-exit for the Metropolitan Branch Trail is pronounced and should be fixed.
