But beyond those broad generalities, what does it mean? Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder, and it is not up to the Court to quibble with the federal government about whether helmeted cyclists in spandex or automobiles fitted with exhaust pipes are more pleasing to look at.
But nowhere does the National Park Service explain how the removal of the lanes advances these stated objectives, even if one assumes that they are legitimate policy choices.

I chuckled at this line in particular: “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it is not up to the Court to quibble with the federal government about whether helmeted cyclists in spandex or automobiles fitted with exhaust pipes are more pleasing to look at.”

“Today, I shed tears of joy as I learned that the Maryland General Assembly passed the bills that will establish the ISA Pilot Program,” said Mindy Badin, the mother of Brett Badin, who was tragically killed while crossing the street on Rockville Pike in Maryland in 2020.

Never would we have had so much fun in a car. Watching for Metros, taking imaginary photos, greeting everyone on the trail with an enthusiastic “hey bro!” If only Allie were here for the laughter. 💖

The Macmillan playground park is great (probably nicer than cobb which maybe skews a bit toward younger kids). Cobb though is one of the few nice parks/playgrounds close to downtown.

Truly no better way to share our city than by bike! Thanks to @wababikelibrary.bsky.social, we made it to the National Zoo, playgrounds, ice cream x2, mini golf, the Wharf, the Mall, ate a sushi boat, and made some CORE cousin memories!

DC has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix its housing crisis through the 2050 Comp Plan rewrite. OP's current proposal squanders it. I built a tool so you can see exactly where they're falling short: dc2050.org 1/4

Since the 15th Street Protected Bike Lane was installed:

• Crashes ⬇️ 46%
• Bike injuries ⬇️ 91%

Removing the PBL between Constitution Ave and the Tidal Basin would increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles at one of the busiest times of year.

Any traffic engineer signing off on removing a safety intervention - that has plenty of data backing up its effectiveness - could/should be liable

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

It’s the same people who can’t imagine a bike as something you might only want to use one way for a trip. They probably only see it as something to put in the car to take to a place to ride in a circle.

Gone are the days when out-of-state drivers could repeatedly drive recklessly in our communities while escaping consequences.

We are going to court, winning judgments, securing settlements, collecting penalties, and filing new lawsuits.

If you drive on DC streets, follow DC traffic laws.

Cameras only issue tickets when drivers are going 10+ mph over the posted speed limit. The solution is to reinvest the funds back into street safety, e.g., a safe street redesign at that specific location.

The current Mayor has made it her choice to sweep the funds into the general fund instead. 👎

I watched two delivery drivers yesterday get into a physical altercation over each trying to go the opposing way on a minimally plowed street. It was a summation of how our transport, logistics, and consumption methods have failed everyone.
