This is finally happening, and it's going to make a huge difference for safe e/w bike/scooter travel in this part of the District. Thanks to all of the DDOT, BID, and community members who made this project a reality.

It is great that DDOT is demonstrating the value of their work. This project to improve bus efficiency and reliability has worked, and the bike lanes installed have increased cyclist use by 50%. What does it cost in delays for drivers? Virtually nothing.

This intersection was missing a fourth crosswalk until the crash. Shouldn’t take an injury to prompt a fix, but I am genuinely grateful for all of the incremental safety improvements that DDOT is installing systematically across the District.

We have acres of NPS parkland in our neighborhood that hasn’t been mowed once this year: waist-high grass and weeds, vermin habitat, tick-infested, unusable. But somehow NPS has the resources to “close” an urban park during Pride in the epicenter of the city’s LGBTQ+ community.

And then things will return to normal and the military will continue using civilian airspace at great peril to everyone involved.

I think this is pretty sad!

IMO it’s a pretty smart time. School is out, and folks are on vacation so kinks can be worked out when traffic is lighter. It also coincides with the start of WMATA’s new fiscal year. Not everyone is on the Jan 1 or Oct 1 cycles!

Don't go into debt to go on vacation! You can do vacation-y things at home: Hit up a public pool, read a book in your backyard, visit a local museum, eat ice cream always, have a cocktail on the porch, go out for a seafood dinner, take a day trip to a cool place! @michellesingletary.bsky.social

One wonders how much of this is driven by the need to create bond debt capacity for RFK www.bizjournals.com/washington/n...

Any quantitative model has its shortcomings, and while I understand that more granular calculations using different inputs might yield slightly different results, the calculations presented in this study strike me as consistent with the lived experience of travel in DC.

DDOT should take a page out of this book.

Using criminal law to target your political opposition is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The courts need to step up and throw this case out quickly and decisively.

What Trump and his cronies have done to these human beings is unconscionable. It’s a vile affront to our constitution and basic humanity.

NEW: Judge Howell rules that Trump/DOGE's *entire takeover* of the U.S. Institute of Peace was unlawful—including the removal of board members and termination of programs. She reinstates the actual board members and invalidates everything the imposters did. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
