Good afternoon
- New bike parking in Congress Heights! (not really what the article is about, but I'll say that I'm all for recycling).
- DDOT is now investigating how to fix the Capital Crescent Trench and the source of the water leak that created it. Good job people who may have reported it.
- MoCo is hosting an open house to discuss "a bikesharing initiative proposed for an area stretching from the District of Columbia line to the Beltway along both Montgomery County portions of the Metrorail Red Line, including Takoma Park, Silver Spring, Forest Glen and Wheaton on the eastern metrorail leg, and Friendship Heights, Bethesda and Medical Center along the western portion. Staff is seeking input on bikesharing locations as part of a grant application to the Maryland Department of Transportation for a bikesharing system." Tuesday, November 29 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. in the lobby auditorium of the Executive Office Building, 101 Monroe Street, Rockville.
- On the other end of the CCT, Silver Spring Trails advocates for re-considering single tracking the Purple Line in the Bethesda tunnel to make room for the trail. "If the Planning Board can ask the MTA to evaluate tearing down large buildings or moving the transit station hundreds of feet away from the connection to Metro, then the Planning Board can also ask MTA to substantiate their assertions that single-track will not work. If single-track can work, it would be by far the easiest and cheapest to build."
