The bus deck is at the ground floor, underneath a building. It's there and accessible to street level, and it has a roof over it. Good deal.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18382275057184120210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-70757154410109083222008-09-08T14:25:00.000-04:002008-09-08T14:25:00.000-04:00For those not familiar with concept master plans k...For those not familiar with concept master plans keep in mind you will not see exact locations for bus stops. The facility indicated adjacent to the Brookland-CUA metro stop may in-fact provide the requisite number of drop-offs. <BR/><BR/>I applaud this effort and can't wait to stop venturing out to Chinatown, Cleveland Park, and the Hill for a decent bite to eat (I still love Col.

We always seem to forget about the buses. Do we expect everyone there to just turn and not ride the bus, and just say f*** you to the bus riders who don't live in the walking distance area? Are we just going to send all of the bus traffic on to side streets and expect for the riders to find a route to the station around the buildings, when we could just build a stop for the buses that is close to the station entrance?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-87292655241721354252008-09-04T01:05:00.000-04:002008-09-04T01:05:00.000-04:00What happens to the bus traffic when wedevelop the...What happens to the bus traffic when wedevelop these areas around stations we always seem to forget about the buses do we expect everyone there to just turn and not ride the bus and just say f u to the bus riders who dont live in the walking distance area, are we just going to send all of the bus traffic on to side streets and expect for the riders to find a route to the station around the buildings when we could just build a stop for the buses that is close to the station entrance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
