Spent some time this evening at Hi-Lawn enjoying Artechouse’s Peak Bloom: Dome Experience. It was genuinely relaxing to sprawl out and let the projected blossoms carry me away.

We can clear four lanes of car traffic from 16th Street but no way to get on or off the bus (or cross the crosswalk) without climbing an almost two foot snowcrete wall.
Snow and ice piled up along 16th Street. Shoveled path ends well before the curb. No clear way for loading or unloading at this highly trafficked bus stop.

Highly recommend getting over to the National Museum of Women in the Arts (an evergreen recommendation) but try to go before March 8th to see the Tawny Chatmon exhibition. It was so gorgeous and thought-provoking.

They got rid of the extended sidewalk at this bus stop on M Street in Georgetown and this is what happens now every single day.
M Street NW in Georgetown, Washington, DC (facing east.) Multilane road with traffic. Porsche parked in front of a bus stop - stop sign indicates this is used by four routes. Im the background, another car is pulling out from having been parked in front of the Porsche. The license plate has an outstanding $100 speeding ticket from last month.
