It was quiet in Union Station – almost eerie – circa 3:40pm, Monday, March 30.
In the Main Hall, the few passengers heading toward the exits avoided eye contact.
The clock on the wall struck a quarter to four.
There was one agent and no business at the ticket counter.
Sitting while waiting at the gates was discouraged…
…while outside,, taxis waited for customers who were slow to appear.
CAPITOL HILL CORNER 
Just curious if more information on the proposal for “street closures to allow for safe use by pedestrians and cyclists” is available? Sounds like a terrific idea.
(Ed. Note: Last week, Mayor Bowser opposed the idea, saying she didn want to create “street festivals”.)
