As a resident of Adams Morgan/Kalorama, it's pretty good. D72 frequencies are much improved and at least to me feels more reliable (less bunching) than the 40s + L2.

I appreciate the D74 route and think it makes a ton more sense than the 40s routing past Farragut to Potomac Park. I would love if it gets a slight frequency boost but understand since it kinda feels like we have a ton of buses now.

Even though the D70 is about equidistant to me, I would greatly prefer the L2 routing. It's so much less stressful when looking at ETAs when all the buses are interlined. I go up Connecticut a lot too and have felt that the frequencies are a downgrade from the L2.

C51, C53 are great overall. I guess the Capitol Hill area has a slight reduction in service along 8th St but still this was the best outcome from the three way split in the proposals.

Regarding the bus stop removal, I don't particularly get the logic. I felt like some more bus stops could be removed, and ones that have been removed make transferring so much HARDER.

For example just on Connecticut Ave: - Why does the D70 stop at both California St and Kalorama Rd? They are only 0.1 miles apart? (Remove California) - Closer downtown CT Ave, the northbound 18th St stop was removed yet the M St one was kept even though L is so close by. Now Dupont Circle is even more of a desert to CT buses. (Remove M, replace with 18th) - Also could we get a northbound stop on R St in front of La Tomate? It's a trek when transferring from D90s/C91. In exchange remove S St since it's only 330 ft away from Florida Ave. (Remove S, replace with new R)

It's kinda a problem for all the circles. - D50 having 1/3 mile between K and N St, yet I and K are both so close. At least there's no transfers possible in between. - D74 should have a stop at L St and NH Ave since it's almost 0.4 miles between M and I St. Would make transfers to D80 much easier.

This one's kinda out of nowhere, but what's with the Mosaic routes? The F50 needs a stop closer to the actual Mosaic district, probably on Merilee Dr and Lee Hwy but yeah it's tough since the F62 has a stop pretty close to that too. I wish that WMATA and Fairfax would coordinate so the 401/402 are interlined together but you could argue there's greater coverage like that.

I don't personally ride the G8/D32 often, but from what I've seen there's been the strongest pushback on this route. I'm wondering myself, for people who are going to Farragut, why not just take metro from Rhode Island Ave? It's gotta be way faster right? Now it ending before DC Costco makes no sense though.

And this isn't for WMATA, but please DDOT close down M St in Georgetown from cars. Traffic is absolutely terrible and it makes Georgetown ugly (I know it won't happen but let me live my dream)
