[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you have someone drop you off at the metro station? Then you're not lugging your stuff much farther than you would if you drove, since the DCA metro station puts you right there. I bet metro will be pretty quiet tomorrow, too. [/quote]

It has been my experience that Metro is tolerable on the way into town when big events are happening and fine during the event (until people start to leave).[/quote]

Yes, and the stuff tomorrow is spread out throughout the day (other than the parade), and most importantly, relatively few people from the region will be going, as compared to say July 4 events on the Mall.  Sure there will be some people from outside the region going, but not 100k+.[/quote]

Remember, also that DC‘s biggest high schools also have graduation that day and they are all having to reroute to get to the venues. There’s more going on in DC than just the dumb fiasco.[/quote]

You are talking about maybe max 5k people associated with graduation, in a region of 6 million, when something like 400-500k come into DC on busy weekdays to work.  A couple of streets around a school would get busy, simply too small to have a regional impact.[/quote]

Its not one graduation its many, so definitely more than 5k and they are not held at the schools. They are held at care first, lisner and UDC, so spread all around the city and which schools go where is not remotely related to where the graduations are. Plus they are at multiple times throughout the day. [/quote]

Oh so they are spread throughout the day and throughout the city? Even less impact then, especially in MD and VA. And those are all very accessible sites to Metro, and I am sure participants are being advised to use Metro. This is a big city, built to handle literally millions living and working here! I just don't understand why tomorrow will be different than say July 4 in terms of road closures, except many fewer people probably going to the actual events.[/quote]
