William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I think it's a compromise to facilitate traffic flow, but so long as the number of lanes you have to cross as a pedestrian or bike/scooter rider is minimized, it's okay. I voted for the second roundabout on that basis. 220

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Make sure to vote for the bike lanes and put the meetings on 10/22 and 10/29 on your calendar! And in this house, we rank Traffic Flow as Low Priority when safety is on the line 😤 220
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Intensify the goats-municipality-Parks partnership as we've done in Alexandria with roving, weed-chomping livestock. Just come back to Alexandria, really now. 020

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Lots of good advice here. For my situation, locking up the cargo bike with the cafe lock plus chain that plugs into it works well. I also keep a fold out heavy duty lock on the bike if needed, but rarely use it. I also take off the computer to disable it sometimes. 021
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I think it's a reasonable ask, thanks for making the change. 120

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Ebikes (and scooters etc.) mitigate many, if not all of the barriers to using a bike as a viable car alternative. It's a whole new world of electric mobility that's arrived quietly. 100
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Yeah I definitely saw how the street design enforced the 20 mph limit. Lots of one way streets with parking on one side plus a bike lane, daylighted intersections, and cycle tracks where they fit. Very enjoyable to ride around sightseeing the infrastructure (I'm so weird) 020
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 06/09/2026If Hoboken is the promised land, Amsterdam must be heaven itself! I haven't visited in years, but when I get back I'll just bike all over the city all day. 030
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I would have done the same thing as you by taking the straight lane and I think doing so fits the traffic code. In fact I regularly take the straight lane at that intersection when biking to Mom's because it's more dangerous to merge back into traffic than just staying straight. 120
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I have seen the promised land and it is Hoboken. There's so much similarity to Alexandria, even down to the lovely park underneath a big ol bridge! Congrats on the vision zero achievement, Hoboken, you've got a fabulous little city. 2100
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 01/09/2026Your publication promises "only the good news" in Alexandria, but this isn't good news at all! It's mostly just reporting on Facebook comments and comes across as very lazy. 020

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 29/07/2026I'm so sorry that woman assaulted you like that with her car. I've experienced similar behavior from drivers often enough that I've started using my phone as a dashcam, and anecdotally it seems to help. I use @dashcam.bike, but a dedicated 360 cam or Cyclic device are also available. 170
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Agreed! Though it's a testament to the resilience of the bicycle as transport that I could just roll up and get stuff done despite the lack of any lockup or other facilities. Trying that with a car makes me shudder, where would I park 😆 020

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 07/06/2026My condo overlooks the block of Mill Rd. between the WMATA building and the tracks and it gets heavily used throughout the day. I wouldn't be surprised if the Holland lanes get similar use when built out. 010

William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 20/05/2026Thanks for covering this closely - it's good fact based journalism and I think elevated the quality of public discord on this project. We'll need more of that for future projects! 010
William Buschur @buschwacker.bsky.social · 20/05/2026I was the one who got the video of this near collision. I use @dashcam.bike and recommend it. It is an app that makes your phone into a dashcam, and although the quality isn't great, any video is good evidence. Data, even @abdelelnoubi.bsky.social 1140
