I hear you. I oppose curbcuts too. But as you can see from the streetview, it’s really not clear what sort of a curbcut they’re requesting. There’s nowhere for a car to go. The only thing I can think of is that the curbcut itself is around the corner on S St. But for what it’s worth, there already is a curbcut for the alleyway.

One thing you’ve got to hand to Virginia is that they crack down on out of state plates, even when they’re not parked on public streets. DC could learn a thing or two from that.

fight that curb cut as much as you can. we currently have a proposal for a curb cut over in bloomingdale that i'm opposed to, but the ANC is in support of. it seems to me that it only is being proposed so that the owner can park their car with virginia tags off the street so they can avoid getting ticketed (and keep from registering their vehicles in the district). perhaps not, but it's worth noting.

That’s great news. I was planning to email the Glover Park ANC about it because, as you say, Glover Park is by far the most dependent on the D2 and I don’t think there have been any Glover Park residents at the two WMATA public meetings on it (I’ve been the only Georgetown resident). Glad to hear word got to them already.

If an irrelevant neighborhood blog can’t get riled up about a municipal bus route change, it’s not worth the pixels its written on…

WMATA came to a meeting in Glover Park last Tuesday and got an earful from the neighbors about the proposed D2 bus — there was a unanimous outcry not to change the D2. There’s also been a fair number of comments on he Glover Park newsgroup, and emails opposing the change that have gone to WMATA. By the time WMATA’s representative left, he was giving the clear message that he had heard the community and that there would not be any changes.

Keep up the good work – absent your blog posts on the proposed D2 change it might have slipped by with no input from Glover Park, the community most affected by the change.
