Metro releases new map proposal, station names

Metro released its latest proposal for a new map of its rail network Tuesday, including proposed name changes for several stations, new icons such as H for hospitals, plus lists of nearby cross streets listed below the name of each stop. As part of the plan, the King Street station would become King Street, with “Old Town” written in smaller letters below as a secondary name. Alexandria has agreed to pay to change all necessary signs, according to Metro.

Navy Yard would get “Ball Park” added as a secondary name if D.C. finds money to pay Metro to make the change, said Metro spokesman Dan Stessel.
