With the upcoming opening of Metro Silver Line stations, the need for a redesigned map of the Metro has become a matter of public input and debate. Kensington Patch reports that with the addition of the Silver Line, the portions that run parallel to the Orange line and the shared stations between the lines are difficult to depict on the map. Suggested ideas are being met with approval, for the most part, but Metro riders caution that not all of the suggestions are viable, especially if a person has a visual disability or if maps are used in some of the darker stations. Others believe that consistent station icons should be utilized to avoid confusion over stations that have two or three different transfer points between the Metro lines. Read more here:
