[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the subway is going to be unusable, and everyone is fine with that, then we need to accommodate people where they are -- in cars.

There are going to be far more people on the roads and that means we need a lot more parking, more emphasis on easing traffic, etc. Ridership on the subway is down 75 percent from pre-pandemic levels.

I didnt used to drive all that much, but now with the subway basically in moth balls, I drive everywhere.

DC has always been car dependent and it's a pipe dream that it will not be. I agree there needs to be more parking garages put up in the City. It would actually result in more foot traffic if they are placed well and priced reasonably.  I think DC should probably think about this because a lot of businesses have to be hurting downtown after 2 years without a full city of daily office workers.

I would actually consider taking the bus but I seriously find all the route maps terribly confusing and it takes so long to get anywhere. Even the metro in the middle of the day is so painful because it takes so long to get anywhere.  [/quote]
