Relocation of 19th St. Slug Line

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Has anyone considered moving the 19th St. line by GW University to the other side of the street? After picking a rider(s) up, I find it very difficult to cross over through 2-3 lanes of traffic so I continue down to Constitution Ave. Shifting the line to the other side of the street would:

	a) prevent some of the traffic tie ups that occur when a driver(s) are parked waiting for a rider.

	b) make if much easier to head straight on 19th, after picking up a rider, without battling 2-3 lanes of cars trying to turn rights on E St.

	   Any thoughts?

It would make it much more dangerous for the front passengers to get into the car.
