If you ride any of the Metrobus “7″ lines—also known as the Lincolnia–North Fairlington and the Lincolnia-Park Center-Pentagon lines—that go through/near our neighborhood, you may be interested to learn that Metrobus is conducting a “service evaluation study” of these routes.
Darcy Franz, an LH/HG resident, is following this study. She writes:
Recently, I reached out again to the folks running the Metrobus study of the “7″ lines that service our neighborhood. Following are a few updates:
- Metro and its consultants have met to plan for the collection of rider feedback and other data to inform the study.
- Those running the study have met with Arlington and Alexandria planners to discuss how issues such as roadway constraints and construction projects could impact recommendations for the “7″ bus lines.
- The next step involves rider surveys, both in person at the Shirlington Transit Center and online at www.metrobus-studies.com (occurring in the next two weeks).
- Data and feedback will then be evaluated.
- Recommendations will be presented to the community (and additional feedback sought) during one or two public meetings along the “7″ lines (likely in July).
Additionally, www.metrobus-studies.com provides a project hotline (703-340-3105) and e-mail address (info at metrobus-studies dot com) for submitting comments at any time about any of the bus lines in the study.
