Local DC post for the day, but it's insane how successful the transit-oriented development around NoMA has been.
The station is now ~50% busier than it was in 2019, despite overall metro ridership still being down. This year, it's busier than Dupont Circle or Columbia Heights

But yes, they need to get serious about some of the more suburban metro stations

Brookland is tougher. For one, Children’s National built that horrendous parking garage there pre-pandemic. But there’s plenty more opportunity.
Fort Totten is just a missed opportunity.
Although I was actually pleasantly surprised by the density in some of that area, it's just not close to transit or retail.
Will it ever happen? No, but I like to dream.
The increase in ridership is waaay more than 50% if you compare to 2008.
Things have changed.

Yeah 50 MM for another entrance!!!
That said, we should have gotten one years ago. https://ggwash.org/view/65114/developers-of-union-market-want-dc-to-pay-for-more-parking
