Directions Back To Transit Accessibility Center
After exiting the Transit Accessibility Center, turn to the right and continue about 20 ft to reach a gap between the building and the parapet wall.
Turn to the left and go past the parapet wall (approximately 10 ft). There is a bollard in the middle of this path.
When past the wall and on the sidewalk, turn to the left. Keep to the left so that the building is close as the sidewalk is narrow. Proceed down Virginia Avenue approximately 235 ft to reach the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 7th St.
At the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 7th St, turn to the left and head up to the intersection of 7th St and D St. It is about 210 ft up the sidewalk.
Once at the intersection, cross D St when it is safe to do so. Once across the street, turn to the left.
Proceed down D St towards the middle of the block where the escalator entrance to the station is. It is approximately 225 ft to the entrance for the escalators.
Turn to the right and head forward to a set of stairs. Once up the stairs, the escalators are in the center of a large open space, with the entrance towards the back. The escalators also have a walled barrier with a railing on top on three sides (towards the street and on the left and right of the escalator bay).
Proceed past the escalator bay and make a wide U-Turn. If on the right side of the escalator bay, turn to the left go to the last of the three escalators; if on the left side of the escalator bay, turn to the right and go to the first of the three escalators.
Ride the escalator down. Once at the bottom of the escalator, walk forward and find a railing on the right-hand side of the path. The path will curve to the left and lead to the faregates.
Pass through the faregates after the path. The ADA faregate is the closest faregate to the station manager’s kiosk on the left.
Once through the faregates, the escalators to the lower level are in the center of this walkway, so baring left or right will allow you to stay on the Greenbelt platform. Walk forward past two sets of escalators that go to the lower level and you will be at the Greenbelt platform.
