Council approves closing a cul‑de‑sac near WMATA bus barn to support transit operations
Summary
The Council approved an emergency declaration and underlying bill to close a cul‑de‑sac adjacent to the WMATA bus barn on Bladensburg Road to expand WMATA jurisdiction and support operations and service reliability.
Chair Mendelson moved PR26‑373 to approve the closing of a cul‑de‑sac in Square 4350 adjacent to the WMATA bus barn on Bladensburg Road and said the action mirrored permanent legislation previously approved on first reading. Councilmember Parker said the change will help WMATA increase routes and improve access for neighbors. The declaration and underlying bill were approved unanimously by the Council.
Supporters said the closure is identical to previously circulated permanent legislation and will help WMATA operations; no objections were recorded on the floor.
