Metro will hold three public meetings from Tuesday to Thursday (May 18-20) in the District of Columbia to discuss improving service reliability along the Metrobus U Street-Garfield Line, which averages more that 14,000 riders every weekday.

Tuesday’s meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Douglass Community Center, Frederick Douglass Court and Stanton Terrace, S.E. Wednesday’s meeting will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at J.O. Wilson Elementary School, 6th and K streets, N.E. The meeting on Thursday will be held from noon to 2 p.m. at the Reeves Center, 14th and U streets, N.W.

 

All meetings are open to the public and no registration is required. Each meeting will begin with a half-hour open house, followed by a 20-minute presentation and a one-hour group discussion.

The meetings are part of Metro’s public outreach to assess possible service improvements to the U Street-Garfield Line. Metro staff members are seeking feedback from riders, businesses and customers.

 

 

The line study, which focuses on Metrobus routes 90, 92 and 93, began with a rider survey in April. Metro staff distributed about 5,000 surveys on buses and at selected stops along the U Street-Garfield Line.

Preliminary results of the survey will be discussed at the public meetings. An on-line version of the survey can be found on the project Web site at www.metrobus-studies.com through the end of June.
