Way. But jack evans told me should sd that come back and that the t general manager recommends recos that one of the lines needs to e be closed down, well, he as metro chairman and he says theey board will back the gms gm recommendation lets take youtin to video now. Ow this news comes just a few weeks after metros emergency shutdown, you remember that, it really messed up the dayp th for many people. E. Evans says that the metro mro system has been neglected for so long that maybe the onlyy way to make needed repairs is is to shut down a line for a long period of time. Peod o this would give metro the ability to renovate everything, basically making, ba it brand new. One of the suggestions isstio as other systems have done weon close down the entire line, the entire blueline or orangerra line or whatever it is and doito all the repair work thatshat necessary that could take months to do and then open it tn up as a brand new line and we fix then the infrastructure ofce that its inconvenient, people are going to be outraged, annoyed and all of that but franklyranky the way were doing it is not working. Wo rk reporter all right, itig, bears repeating that this ishats just something that they are tta looking at. G a no decision has been made. Were told that this revieww should last about six weeks. Eeks then the general manager willagl go to the board with a presentation, then theyll discuss it. Now, you might be asking,ige as well, what line are theyre thinking about, which lineshichs are they thinking about . At at this point that has not been determined. Rmined according to jack evans, heto jv did say today that a lot oft a o work has been done on the red line, the green line, thatse, a one of the newest and thet and silver line of course are new. Ew he doesnt believe that thet the repairs will be needed therededt but he said dont hold him to ht that. So, at this point we still still have about a month, six weeksee before they really determine d if this needs to take place. La and if it does, if it does, they say theyre going to go to local communities with the community about howmm to deal with this. Eal theyll increase bus patrols or bus routes there, makingerakn sure that they can get peoplee to and from work, but it is truly going to be a Big Inconvenience if it happens. Ienc live at metro center, matt ackland, fox5 local news. S. Wow. Wow thanks matt. Another inconvenience inhe town this week. R you may want to give yourself extrtoo a time to get around tow these next few days allay because of the Nuclear Security summit in northwest.

Caitlin a lot of peoplelot of po listening up to find out how o this is going to affect them. Ech so many people laura and star a both metro and roads anda will be impacted. Ac were talking about a 20 blocki area. Now well start with the Mount Vernon Square metro stopao will be closed beginningng tonight at 8 oclock and thatckt lasts through the day onthro friday. Not an exact time of when itheni will be reopening. Llreop the secret service will givevicw word on that by friday. Fri but you cannot get off or get on at mount vernon beginningegii at 8 oclock tonight on either t the yellow line or the greenhe e line. The trains will just bypassjust the station. The youll have to getst off at either gallery place or shaw. R. Where im standing new yorking avenue and seventh street theee Convention Center right behindrh me where the nuclear summitlears will be taking place weve got major road closures that wed cl got word were supposed to s begin at 7 00 p. M. 0 p however, were not seeing any security out on the scenesn thec that would indicate theseldic roads will be closed in less than two hours. Wo it might be more of a soft a s closing. G. Theyll wait until rush hour h ends but all of the barricades a around me have been set upn se that will be block off a lot a of sidewalks, so not just thisti area around the square butquare along that 20block gridock gr youll see more of these m t barricades that will be going gg up and pedestrians will beedestr routed around al street closures. Re theyll be restricted to thed sidewalks in which they are kind of end caged within thesei barricades. Now, we do have you can see s those barricades there,e ba everyone is going around themrot at this point. Oi we do have a map of all of the street closures becauselosubeca theres just too many to listt rightto now, but basically wasiy need is know all of the mount t Vernon Square area, it area, stretches from about sixth abo x street all the way over to w ove 11th and then i believe from kro streets all the way up north to o street so that is a large l grid of streets that arereets aa supposed to be closed csed beginning at 7 00 p. M. G at 00 tonight. Now, we also have word thatd tt those streets will be closed clo until noon on saturday. So, these street closures lookes like theyre going to be going g longer than the metro closure. S. Along with that, there have theh been parking restrictions thatoa have been in place since a fewia days ago and the sidewalkk restrictions i guess would guesu probably be going along withlong any of the road restrictions.

Not just about the aut president ial race which is ati little bit refreshing. Al last night cnn hosted a tow bn hall event with the republican candidates. You may remember all of the candidates said they would endorse the gop nominee no matter who it is. Matt last night trump said he would w go back on that promise. Rose take a listen. Is of. Reporter do you pledger to support whoever the republican nominee is. Ic no, i dont. Reporter you dont. No. Well see who it is. Reporter you wontter y promise to support the spo republican nominee. Republan n no. He was essentially saying theti same thing. Al he doesnt have to support me. I have tremendous support suppo right now from the people. Heeo ted cruz and john kasich k they both initially dodged theod question. They said, hey, were going tooi win the nomination so it i doesnt matter but they were pressed.

How they went to o i will say this its something that tends to be supported with bipartisanted support. The idea of looking at prison reform, recognizing maybe someay flaws in the system currentlyyse in this can country, something,t that i have seen bothn bot republicans and democrats democ embrace whether or not youe ethe agree with the specifics but the it does feel like a good thing i for some people who maybe w may deserve a second chance.
