We had a lot of great comments on DDOT’s proposal to banish intercity buses to L’Enfant Plaza for loading and unloading.

DDOT is trying to solve a real problem. However, after doing nothing for years, we shouldn’t use a sudden emergency rulemaking to impose a major shift within 30 days. Let’s have a public debate about appropriate solutions that reduce the impact on Chinatown without putting anyone out of business or taking away loading from Dupont and other places which is working just fine.

Let DDOT and the Council know how you feel by going to busruletimeout.com and call for a time out on these rules.
