They fixed the sign at Buchanan.

That's a relief, if true. The new signs at all other S9 stops list both the D60 and D6X, but the one at Buchanan says only the D60 will stop there. Maybe the sign is just wrong?

Does anyone have a list of stops that will be served by the new D6X? According to the new signs at 16th and Buchanan St., which is currently served by the S9, the D6X will not stop there, which will be a big loss. That means there will be more than mile between stops.

Thanks for this! Wish @wmata had taken the location of stop lights into account when cutting bus stops. On 16th, for example (impossible to cross on foot) they systematically cut stops at lights, keeping them at intersections with no safe Xing. Will be more difficult, and dangerous!, to catch a bus.

ducks?

1) The Senate will be 53-47 GOP while Dems represent 53.5% of the 50-state population

2) 51% of Americans live in the 9 biggest states & get 18 senators; 16% in the 25 smallest states get 50

3) CA is > the 21 smallest states combined & 67 times > WY

4) 4 million citizens in DC & PR get 0 senators

I'm loving all the Blue Sky starter packs. Very helpful as I recreate communities I miss from other sites. Does anyone have a good one focused on local DC politics/transportation/housing?

Sounds like a great way to support local news. So much important governing happens at the local level, with too little oversight. I rely on outlets like WCP & WAMU, and want to keep them around. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/6338...

New to this place as I try to leave Twitter behind and recreate what used to be the best source of hyper local info on DC politics, urbanism, transit, and events.
