That would further delay the lifting of FTA sanctions that have held up millions in federal transportation funds to the District, Maryland and Virginia.<br \/>\nThe FTA\u2019s warning adds to pressure on Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) and Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans to drop their insistence on extending service hours, especially on weekends. The District says restoring late-night service is vital to support the city\u2019s restaurants, clubs and other nightlife&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was originally posted to the Adams Morgan Listserv on January 30, 2019, as message #50468, groups.yahoo.com\/neo\/groups\/AdamsMorgan\/conversations\/messages\/50468 Similar to the dog park at 11St. and Bark, we must face what are &#8220;DC Values&#8221; and how the affect policy choices.
