"This is a win for WABA, and win for the entire region. The National Mall is a place where people bike, and walk, to see the history of this country. This decision is a win for for safety, for progress through this corridor, and for the beauty of this area," says the bike group.
The proposed Braddock Road Station Kiss and Ride redesign would extend and improve the bike lanes on E. Braddock Road. www.wmata.com/initiatives/...

📰 Reporter heads out
I recently saw a car crash and the obvious cause was the existence of roads.
A group pushing for e-bikes to be regulated in D.C. says it was the the fault of a 10-year-old boy riding an e-bike in a bike lane that he was hit (and injured) by a man riding a dirt bike down 14th Street.
Protected bike lanes keep cyclists of all ages and abilities safe, but they also collect everything a street sweeper can’t reach like glass, wet leaves, and gravel. Hill Family Biking has a new bike-powered solution: their very own bike lane sweeper.
“The Capital Crescent Trail projected completion date has been updated to Fall 2026 due to continued use for construction access."
Bummer... CCT won't open until Fall 2026 now.

NEWS: In a lawsuit to stop the planned removal of the 15th Street bike lane, @waba.org says the Trump administration is violating the Administrative Procedures Act because it hasn't consulted NCPC and because the decision is "arbitrary and capricious."
UPDATE: @waba.org says that the federal government has agreed not to start removing the 15th Street bike lane until at least March 30, in anticipation of a lawsuit that’s being filed to stop it.
The feds removing this bike lane makes our streets less safe — both for our residents & all the tourists enjoying DC. 🚲 🌸 And it’s brought to us by the same folks trying to stop DC from holding dangerous drivers accountable. It all leads to putting more people in harm’s way.
Here's @mayorbowser.dc.gov on NPS's plans to start removing the 15th Street protected bike lane between the National Mall and Jefferson Memorial.
She says the decision will "likely increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles."
It’s a nice spring day, but hardly peak cherry blossom crowds down by the National Mall and Tidal Basin. But the 15th Street protected lane that the Trump administration will start tearing out next week was still busy with people on bikes and scooters; locals and tourists alike.
This is dumb.
The Trump administration is removing a protected bike lane that runs along 15th Street from the National Mall to the Tidal Basin. Officials say it causes traffic; bike advocates say it actually makes everyone safer. 51st.news/trump-admini...

Officials in Pennsylvania say the speed cameras they use along highway work zones minimize crashes and save lives.
But Rep. Scott Perry (R-Penn.) says D.C.'s traffic cameras are a money-grab, and he's spearheading a push to remove them all: 51st.news/dc-traffic-c...
This morning the House Oversight Committee is expected to advance a bill that would ban D.C. from using traffic cameras or stopping drivers from making right turns at red lights. Twelve of the D.C. Council's 13 members and @mayorbowser.dc.gov have made statements opposing the move.
These are good arguments for not funding a study, but not for saying no to a studied and feasible transit system.
