I can't blame WMATA too much for this, because I didn't catch it until this week. It would have been nice if these hearings weren't smack in the middle of Passover for the Jewish community, and Holy Week for the Christian one. I'd have gone to tomorrow's hearing, but I have to be in church instead. Maybe this will explain the low-ish turnout? That and that several of the hearings had next to no Metro access...

If the issues are important to you, you'll take the time and find a way to come.
