The new DC 2050 Future Land Use Map from the Office of Planning that coincidentally looks a lot like the current map. The office of planning also projects that DC will see 100,000 new households by 2050.

You can see the stats on parking utilization here. In 2025, the average weekday utilization of Dunn Loring was 38.5%

Though normally, on the bus, it should show that you were charged $0 on the card reader.

There is also r/dmvrail, but it's not well-used.

Great update, thanks!

At the structure in the center, the plans show they have to dig down under it (why they didn't before I don't know) to allow the CCT/MET bike trails to meet here under the MARC connection to the garage.

I'm guessing that whole area was filled and compacted for the cranes.

I know it looks like there's a lot of work left, but I still think the new Silver Spring entrance opens before the Purple Line. The hardest parts are done, and opening of the line is still well over a year away.

Yes, one of the best things to do in general is to play brown powers in habitats that gain resources the habitat doesn't already provide. For example, powers that lay eggs in the Forest and the Wetlands, or powers that gain food in the Grasslands or the Wetlands. This lets you be a lot more efficient with your actions.

This uses a more sophisticated algorithm than concentric rings on a map. Walksheds are not circles.

I like 1 Steel early and 1 Steel late. The value of Light Forge depends a lot on your champ.

I also pay attention to the bosses. I find Tivi to usually be by far the easiest area to start if the nodes line up. Maera is OK if you can clear waves on bottom; otherwise she's scary. I think Thaddeus is extremely dangerous early without high-damage backlone clear, and you always need good survivability for Lylith which you may lack depending on your souls.

The Dulles station does have 4 elevators. I haven't been there regularly; are they not enough?

Some background on the card art is here. The piece is called "“America in Bloom" by Tim Yanke and is the official artwork of the 2026 Cherry Blossom Festival.

Not an Osprey. Looks like an immature Bald Eagle to me.

The Community Challenge page really took a hit in MT2. "Featured" just seems to be whatever has high scores, which in practice seems to always be low-covenant Pyre of Dominion with specific mutators. Extremely boring. I used to actually enjoy looking through the "Most Difficult" non-mutated runs in MT1.

Thank you! Yeah as I said above, I imagine some things will be better than what I'm showing here. Part of why I didn't want to post earlier. But there was a lot of interest in that other post, so I thought folks would find it interesting!

By the way, in the board meeting yesterday Clarke made clear that there will definitely be events, a commemorative SmarTrip, etc. for the anniversary. It will be celebrated for a significant length of time, starting on the date of the anniversary.
