[Lincolnparkdc] Metro Proposing to Eliminate 96 Bus

[Stefanie Kendall]

Thanks for the alert on this. The 96 gets folks to Tenley. D6 to Sibley.

1. Would they add buses to the D6 route?

2. Was this a request to ANCs for issues of better mobility or…?

3.The 96 travels around the park. Did a resident request that there no
longer be a bus route in front of his or her home? Seems a route around the
park would be a good central stop, and I understand (second hand info.)
that a resident has wanted the 96 bus stop moved from in front of his house
for a while. Why decrease buses around a public park but increase them on
streets that are entirely residential?

I use the 96 and D6 frequently. Both routes are valuable options across
town.
