| 説明 | It was nice to be in the crowd as an advocate rather than my placement at my next meeting after the hearing, where I was in Silver Spring as one of the folks who stands in front of the room.The WMATA hearing, in my opinion, was exquisitely conducted and I really felt like I had a chance to offer some input; in stark contrast to last year where it felt more like decisions were being forced upon us. Sure, *perhaps* a decision has already been made, anyway, but at least I *felt* better... like soma for the masses.All-in-all I really felt it was a valued effort, with both attendees and attendants in high spirits (attendants consisting of desk staff pulled downstairs: planners, designers, lawyers, etc.) -- bravo to all!I recorded testimony and submitted written comments. The quick gist:Support: - 10-cent fare increase - Restructuring of Red Line service - Restructuring of low-volume bus linesOppose: - Use of funds from capital budget (such use should be minimised as much as feasible) - Increasing rail headways for midday & evening service - Increasing rail headways for weekend service - Operating 6-car peak period trains instead of 8 - Opening the Metrorail system at 5:30 instead of 5:00 pm on weekdays. - Closing the Metrorail system at 2:00 instead of 3:00 am on weekends. - Reductions to high-volume bus linesPropose: - Evaluate feasibility of having only one attendant operate stations with 2+ accesses. - If service reductions must be made to rail, considering increasing headways in suburban areas but maintaining headways in urban core. - Continued efforts to acquire funding from DC, MD, and VA.------------------------------------------------------------------------------2010 01 28 - Used on DCist |
