WMATA has a massive problem with not consolidating stops in general but this is just silly for the new streamlined routes not to have a closer stop for connections there

The routes that use Nebraska Ave not doing a deviation to serve 40th St/Fort Dr and the Tenleytown metro station is fine but a stop at Albemarle St needs to be added then.

Ostensibly I am setting up a good portion of stuff for a model railroading event to justify this

I donβt have that much because I almost exclusively model electrified railroads. I only have a very nice ACS-64 set with rolling stock sets to model regional and long distance viewliner consists and a somewhat messed up N Scale Acela set

This is not it my man. You donβt need to call workers themselves corrupt especially when many of us are working extremely hard to deliver service everyday.

So Chevy Chase Pavilion is now one pinball arcade and the Cheesecake Factory for businesses. That certainly feels dystopian

The other map with all bus routes in DC is just directly applied to the wall and across the mezzanine from the bus stop map as well. I think the decision to go away from the last wayfinding consultant/firm was just a bad choice as well.

I donβt mind the stop placement map here but Iβm not sure without the context of the lines *where* the buses actually run rather than labels telling you the final destination is the best decision. They also got one of these placements wrong I think

The simplification of the route to cut out the jog over to Adams Morgan was fine if we were to receive that frequency boost in exchange. Especially given the relatively short distance most are traveling along the corridor especially as a metro feeder

Reminded today that I think frequency determines ridership as much as the inverse. Especially for the average length of trip on the corridor I do think that moving to 15, if not 10 minute, headways was something we should have gotten with the WMATA bus redesign on Connecticut Ave for the D70

Architecture schools often have the ugliest buildings around. I even like some examples of brutalism and itβs just comical
Rudolph Hall houses Yale Universityβs School of Architecture. Designed by architect Paul Rudolph and opened in 1963, this building is one of the earliest and best known examples ofΒ Brutalist architectureΒ in the U.S.! π€©π’

lol, I mean I have tried to withdraw as much as possible. 25 days on the east coast and working about 20 hours less a week than I have been the past 5 months means I have more time off this bs π
