Transportation Report: Street Cleaning, Yogurt Pretzels, Single Tracks

A few transportation notes to report.

Street sweeping is back on March 23, 2009. Have fun moving your cars all summer long, folks.

The Yellow/Green line is single tracking again this weekend between Mt. Vernon and Shaw. When will it end? I don't know because WMATA won't tell me.

And we have three escalator alerts for the Columbia Heights Metro station. The date given below is when it's expected to be fixed. These dates get pushed back, and pushed back some more. I can't help but wonder if the first INCIDENT/ACCIDENT involves those yogurt pretzels that are now part of the Northbound stairs. If that side of the escalator wasn't busted before, I bet it is now after months of not running and being covered in Columbia Heights garbage:

INCIDENT/ACCIDENT 3/17/09
Escalator between street and mezzanine, 14th Street Northbound Entrance

CALLBACK/REPAIR (no date)
Escalator between street and mezzanine, 14th Street Southbound Entrance

MAJOR REPAIR 3/28/09
Escalator between street and mezzanine, 14th Street Northbound Entrance
