As a resident with a 96 stop in front of his/her house (1206 East Capitol St. NE) I am on record (on this listserve, and previous DDOT surveys) as supporting the D6 and expansion/frequency of its service around Lincoln Park. I will be providing comments on
this most recent "decision" as well. </div>

Please do not confuse my lack of support for the accompanying trash can (emptied far too infrequently compared to LP cans but serving the same demographic) with the bus stop. My family are regular riders of the 96, as well as the D6, and have voiced/will support
for expanding that service as well. </div>

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? </div>

<div dir="ltr">As part of Metro's "Better Bus" initiative, Metro would eliminate the 96 route starting in 2025. Those of us around Lincoln Park would be left with just the D6 (to be relabeled the D24) for public transportation to Union Station. In addition
to being slow and too far north, the D6 (new D24) would also be extended east of the river, which would worsen the existing overcrowding the D6 experiences during rush hour.
