According to Metro’s 2007 Rail Passenger survey, fewer people access the Rhode Island Avenue-Brentwood Metrorail station by foot or on bicycle than other stations along the Red Line that have more sidewalk connectivity to the surrounding areas. The bridge will provide a safer, more direct and faster connection to neighborhoods on the west side of the station, allowing many more riders to walk or bike there.
Why has the bike elevator at the N.Y. Avenue/Galaudet Metro stop been shut off? It's a great way to access the trail without going up a two story tall ramp. I notice that it is key operated and so sometimes it's been accessible and sometimes not. I don't understand why it's not simply left on and running for what it was obviously built for.

I have no idea. I'd suggest contacting WMATA. They don't have a bicycle coordinator unfortunately.
