BREAKING: Metro just announced it will launch its new “Tap. Ride. Go.” payment system on Metrorail on Wednesday.
Riders will be able to directly tap a credit or debit card, or a phone linked to a debit/credit card, without needing a SmarTrip card. #wmata

Ever get frustrated by the railroad tracks near the Alexandria Alternative route off the MVT? Well now you can cruise over the tracks with ease.

This trail improvement used 6 bags of cold patch at $22 a bag for a total of $132. Donate to help us keep making improvements: buff.ly/Z1pdN4U

NEW and WIDER Bridge 23 is now OPEN on the Mount Vernon Trail
Bridge 23 that crosses over Dyke Marsh opened this week. This bridge is 14 feet wide with railings that meet modern safety standards. It was also built with helical piles which can resist storm surges and have a much longer life than wooden piles. This bridge is popular for biking, running, walking and bird watching. The previous bridge was 8 feet wide, lacked railings and had damage from Hurricane Sandy and Irene. Route taken: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nUXiC6UJokTjs9x1A Like and Subscribe
