ADO about nothing much.

Note that there is no meaningful @PurpleLineMD progress: no stations open; no trains running. Please refrain from these "progress" reports until there's something riders can use; thanks.

#PurpleLineprogress continues with track installation on Wayne Ave near Sligo Creek Pkwy. Tracks are visible on the new Sligo Creek Bridge, crucial for #ConnectingCommunities from New Carrollton to Bethesda. Stay updated at https://t.co/U9f6nCqesE. #MDOTCares #PurpleLineMD

Quarterly check mixed news.

Good: @ddotdc email today; ticket status indicates that an extra sign "has been removed."

Abysmal: it's still there.

Fix: forced retirements of all personnel involved in the lie.

(Ticket 24-00711166.)

As has been true for a while, my less dull postings are available on Mastodon's https://t.co/QlOfL0bCy5 instance, again under the dashdashado account.

Major programming note: coincident with tomorrow's seating of a new #TakomaPark city council, the (dull) postings here will be moving to the social instance of Bluesky, with the same old dashdashado account name.

Quarterly @MDSHA check: still an emptied sign support (and crash exacerbater) at East-West Highway and Ager Road.

Quarterly check: still overhead signage on East-West Highway referencing Prince George's Plaza; it's now Mall at Prince George's.

East-West Highway is an @MDSHA road; @PGCountyDPWT may handle the signage.

Fix: given the huge private sign, just remove the white-on-green signage.

Fix: remove the sign.

Quarterly #TakomaPark-adjacent check: still an illegible (and unstickered)
@MCDOTNow "Montgomery College" sign on Philadelphia at Chicago. Back-to-back partner is okay. Fix: remove the signs and pole; signs are unneeded given the large one nearby.

Next live tweet: 11/18/2024, starting about 7:15, for the last meeting of the current council and the swearing (or affirming) in of the new council. Don't miss it if you can.
