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

   According to the PRTC (Omniride), Thursday, December 4 is the White House Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. PRTC is activating their Emergency Service Plan for the evening commute, which means all buses depart from Franconia-Springfield (for Woodbridge area) or West Falls Church (for Manassas) Metro stations.

	Is slugging from downtown (14th St) also ill-advised for that date? Is 14th/Penn closed?

	-Cum catapultae proscriptae erunt tum soli proscripti catapultas habebunt.
