[Lincolnparkdc] Metro Proposing to Eliminate 96 Bus

[Marche' Maine]

An important point to point out in the comments section is that there are
four (4) metro stations serving the S. E. side of the hill but none on the
N.E. side.
The planned changes mean fewer transportation options for 1/2 the hill
population for direct downtown connections.
These are insidious gentrification efforts. Whether redundant bike lanes
that hamper those disabled or with mobility problems, or pet projects by
homeowners who don't like a bus stop or didnt like a useful public trash
can in front of their house.
