We were not alone last week in our criticism of the transportation debacle during Deluge ’06. Nor were we the only ones to question what the response says about our emergency preparedness. Despite the tendency of D.C. officials to grade themselves on their performance (they did quite well, if they do say so themselves), we prefer a more rigorous review. And who better to turn to for this than that great bastion of criticism and commentary, the D.C. blog scene? So do tell, what were your transportation experiences during the storms? Was the response by Metro, DDOT, and others adequate? What else should they do?

The rest of this week’s transit news after the jump, including relief on Georgia Ave., advanced tourist avoidance systems, and a proposal to clear stubborn riders out of Metro’s doorways.
