For the map, based on survey results, WMATA staff and designer Lance Wyman decided to color the Dulles line Silver, use dashed yellow and orange lines at the ends to denote rush hour-only service, and add hours of operation to the map. Different symbols for short turn stations confused riders and are gone from this version.

The recommendation would add Old Town as a subtitle to King Street, and Ballpark to Navy Yard once DC commits funding. Further, they recommend changing Waterfront-SEU to just Waterfront, not adding Arena Stage as requested. Suggested changes to Smithsonian, New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U, and Forest Glen are also on the table, but staff are not endorsing those changes.

Meanwhile, Jon Hendel at TBD gets all philosophical:

It's true. A lot of the changes seem to be common sense and useful, though some, like changing New York Ave-Florida Ave-Gallaudet U to NoMa/Gallaudet U seem more aspirational than functional (at least for non-residents of the area) at this point in time.

Years ago, Egger had approached city officials about moving away from sheltering homeless individuals in warehouses. He had a plan: Sell CCNV and put the profits in a trust that would go towards opening up a multipurpose homeless center. In 2000, I lived at CCNV and found it to be a hellhole.

Egger's center would provide shelter on some floors and retail on the first floor that would be staffed by residents. There would also be job training as well as a home renovation program. Residents would renovate abandon properties and then those properties would be used for low-income housing.

Let's just say city hall pretty much ignored Egger's big idea. When City Desk talked to him today, he was still saddened that the District's approach to homelessness hadn't changed all that much since his idea got rejected.

"I still am vexed by how behind the times D.C. is when it comes to its homeless programs and how unwilling they are to go forward," Egger says. "It’s still big buildings full of people."

Meanwhile, Egger's kitchen is still a force. During the snowstorm, Egger says his nonprofit produced 70,000 meals.
