WMATA replies to Senator Harrington--no stations to be closed, but your comments are still needed!

I received the message below from Senator David Harrington, but note that vigilance is still needed. Please send those comments in to WMATA by 5:00 tomorrow: public-hearing-testimony@wmata.com

Senator Harrington:



As you may be aware, the Metro Board allowed the entire set of proposals by the General Manager to go to public hearing to obtain comment. In fact, several of the Board members stated as we approved the hearing package that we opposed some of the elements. We appreciate hearing from you on this matter. Let me assure you that no rail station or rail line will be closed except when the entire system is closed.
