Good afternoon
- Mayor Gray wanted to redirect Performance Parking Funds from non-automotive transportation projects to WMATA. In the past PPF money has paid for bike racks and bikeshare docks among other things. The council pushed back on this and half the money over "baseline" will go to the buses. "The budget also takes steps to restore the pedestrian and bicycle enhancement fund, which pays for a number of smaller pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects."
- "There’s plenty of bike parking around Nationals Park, including Capital Bikeshare stations and a bike valet in the garage on the northeast side of the stadium. "
- The Patch has details on the College Park bike share stations. "According to the city's grant application, four of the College Park stations will be located on the UMd. campus: Regents Drive parking garage, Stamp Student Union, McKeldin Library and the Eppley Recreation Center. The remaining four will be installed at the College Park Metro Station, downtown near the Knox Road and U.S. Route 1 intersection, The Varsity student apartments and the Hollywood Shopping Center. A total of 64 bikes will be available, according to the grant application." It could be online within a year. Bicycle Bug asks if the stations are well placed.
