New phase on 14th St. bridge
Drivers entering the District on Interstate 395 this weekend should watch for a developing change in the traffic pattern on the northbound 14th Street bridge and the closing of the ramp from northbound I-395 to the 12th Street tunnel. Also, D Street SW, just east of 12th Street, is closed.

Report: Rigid formulas handcuff VDOT
Over the course of 12 audits, 17,000 man-hours and more than a million dollars, reviewers have consistently come to the same conclusion about the Virginia Department of Transportation: In the words of a report posted yesterday on the watchdog journalism site Old Dominion Watchdog, "VDOT is like a high-maintenance girlfriend and the general assembly an overbearing father." That's because, according to public and private audits funded by the department, the state legislature and others, longstanding formulas determine very narrowly where it may spend its money, even if department officials feel they have urgent priorities.

German train reaches 122 degrees
And riders on the infamous overheated MARC trains thought their experience was rough. Even as MARC trains continue to be plagued by delays stemming from overheated equipment and the overheated customers that can result when a train breaks down--MARC created a Web page titled MARC Train 538 Incident Response, and Amtrak announced today it would distribute bottled watter at Union Station on hot days--other railroads are undergoing similar woes. German authorities are looking into whether Deutsche Bahn "negligently caused bodily harm" by continuing a train's journey after its air conditioning broke, the German publication The Local reported this week.

NY bus driver saves lives
Between allegations of physical battery of an anti-crime mascot, abuse of vulnerable adults and deception used by a teen to get behind the wheel, in the DC area, it's sometimes easy to forget that those who drive the buses, vans and trains of mass transit play an important role in our communities, and many of them will go out of their way to help. In Buffalo, New York, a bus driver is being credited for saving 10 people asleep inside a burning home by pounding on the door. After his heroics, Richard Lucas got back behind the wheel and finished his route.

A family of five was stuck in the elevator at the Cleveland Park Metro station for more than a half hour this afternoon. At 12:45p.m., fire spokesman Pete Piringer sent out an alert that they were trapped, and it wasn't until just before 1:30 that he wrote that the family was "freed and happy." A family of five was stuck in the elevator at the Cleveland Park for more than a half hour this afternoon. At 12:45p.m., fire spokesman Pete Piringer sent out an alert that the elevator had broken with the parents and children trapped inside, later adding that everyone was safe and unharmed. It wasn't until just before 1:30 that he wrote that the family was "freed and happy." The elevator runs up a lengthy shaft from the Metro station mezzanine to Connecticut Avenue near the zoo, and is often used by families with strollers and young children bound to check out the animals--but the family likely expected to be outside, with the animals confined to their cages, not the other way around.
