Metro Stops Weekend Work for Cherry Blossom Season

Metro says there will be no weekend track work for the next two weekends as cherry blossom season gets underway.

Metro says there will be no track work this weekend and regular rail service on all six lines. The same will be true next weekend. The National Park Service is predicting peak bloom for the cherry trees will be April 11 to 14.

Metro says weekday ridership increases 15 percent and weekend ridership can nearly double during cherry blossom season.
