Despite complaints by some Ward 6 residents about idling engines, the Nationals say they will continue to offer shuttles from RFK to Nationals Park this season, WTOP's Adam Tuss reports. Like last year, Nats fans will be able to park for free at RFK and catch the free shuttle to the ballpark. More interesting: Tuss notes that "Team officials have not yet announced plans for any changes to parking around the stadium." Considering all the fear mongering about traffic and parking nightmares that never materialized, you'd think the Nats might want to try to do something more with the mostly empty, hideous above-ground parking lots in front of the stadium.

The Examiner yesterday brought us the unfortunate news that Ward 1 D.C. Council member Jim Graham is putting a temporary kibosh on the long-planned first phase of DDOT's streetcar plans.
