DC C63 Stop Shifts North to Improve Service Flow

DC's C63 bus stop relocated one block north from K St to L St NW temporarily

DC Route C63 Stop Moves to First St, L St NW

Riders using the C63 bus route in downtown Washington will find their stop at a new location, transit officials said. The stop normally at First St and K St NW has been temporarily relocated one block north to First St and L St NW, according to the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Officials haven't said how long the relocation will last or what's prompting the change.

Temporary Signage Marks New Location

WMATA announced the relocation November 16, directing customers to look for temporary signage at the new stop location. The original stop, identified as Stop ID 1001386, served riders at the intersection of First St and K St NW. Transit agencies typically relocate stops temporarily to accommodate construction, street work or special events, though WMATA hasn't specified the reason for this particular move. The one-block relocation keeps the stop on the same street corridor.

Duration and Impact Details Unavailable

Officials didn't provide an expected end date for the temporary relocation or say when the stop will return to its original location. WMATA hasn't released ridership data specific to this stop, so the number of daily riders affected by the change isn't available. The agency's service alert page provides the operational details but doesn't include information about the project or work necessitating the relocation. Transit officials said customers should check for updates on service status.

Change Currently in Effect

The stop relocation has been in effect since mid-November, according to WMATA's service status page. Officials haven't announced a timeline for returning service to the original stop location at First St and K St NW. The agency typically posts advance notice of service changes, though specific details about how far in advance riders were notified of this relocation weren't available.

Riders Should Check for Updates

Customers using the C63 route should look for temporary signage indicating the relocated stop at First St and L St NW.
