I like these new knee high barriers…but also looks like we ceded another 15-20 feet to the daily illegal truck loading zone outside Union Station @ddotdc.bsky.social #bikedc @waba.org

Serendipitously came across this open street a couple years ago (biking to Citifield during one of our medical trips to NYC) and was nearly brought to tears.

At tonight's ANC 5F meeting, DGS told us that, for PEPCO work in support of the ATC, they plan to close the section of the MBT between Randolph and R Street for excavation for *8 weeks*. DDOT is still figuring out the traffic control plan, but this is something we're tracking. #bikedc

Not long ago, riding along Elliott Bay meant navigating busy traffic, confusing gaps, and stressful streets. Today, you can travel from Interbay to Alki Point on a connected, low-stress route. See how we got here in our new storymap: arcg.is/04XmvP1

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

NEW: “This isn’t cutting edge anymore. It’s just learning from our own successes & failures, and standing on the shoulders of smarter cities. Time to get it done.” My op-ed in today’s @vancouversun.bsky.social makes the case for a people-first Granville Street (& MORE streets) beyond the #WorldCup.

Opinion: Time to change Granville Street for good

The 2026 pedestrianized, people-first Granville Street can be a great public place without the unique “jet fuel” of the World Cup.

IMHO all of 4th street NE between T street and Michigan should be converted to curbside protected bike lanes, but this is a great down payment (along with a bunch of other sensible improvements for all users in this corner of Edgewood).

Every aspect of this story is an indictment of the social, economic, and legal structures of our country. An 80 year old woman drives an SUV into a family of 4 waiting at a bus stop, avoids criminal justice, and hides assets to avoid civil penalties. We do not have equal protection under the law

Hey #BikeDC, as of 9pm there's a water main break or something on the MBT behind City State, basically converting the trail to a stream. Not passable. I called @dcwater.bsky.social to report it, but I had to tell them the trail is DDOT, not DPR. Who else do I loop in to get this elevated?
