The first two Capital Bikeshare stations on the National Mall have opened, just as cherry blossoms begin to bloom in D.C. One new station is at Ohio Drive and West Basin Drive SW, near the MLK Memorial. The other is on Jefferson Drive between 14th and 15th Streets SW, near the Washington Monument. The stations are the first of five planned for the Mall. The popular bike-sharing service also has several stations within a block of the Mall. Capital Bikeshare staff will be around to help Cherry Blossom Festival-goers at the new stations from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. during the weekends of March 24-25, March 31 and April 1, and April 7-8. — Liz Essley
