Georgetowners, What Do You Think About Metro?

A group created in December 2005 to better facilitate communication between Metro and its riders is hosting a public meeting in Old Town Alexandria.

The Metro Riders' Advisory Council is hosting a "listening session" in Alexandria, Va. this week and all members of the public are welcome.

It is the first of three two-hour sessions in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC designed to provide riders with an opportunity to have an open dialogue with Metro advisory council members and share feedback about Metro service, according to a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, or WMATA, news release.

The first session is scheduled for Wednesday, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Charles Houston Recreation Center in Old Town Alexandria.
