Can’t think of a better way to kick off the #Weekwithoutdriving than a conversation on the bus about how to make the bus work better for District residents 🚌 @janeese4dc.bsky.social @elissasilverman.bsky.social

Excited to share this new tool! We made it easier to find responses to our questionnaire and compare them in SMDs where multiple candidates responded.

Most subsidized or "affordable" housing in America was not initially built as such. It makes little sense to oppose new homes because they are not subsidized from the very start; those homes very well could be subsidized later — and very likely will rent or sell for less later.

NYT editorial board issues a full-throated endorsement of congestion pricing: "Over its first 14 months, the [NYC] congestion pricing system has exceeded even the high hopes of many supporters. It has reduced traffic, improved the quality of life and even provided a boost for businesses."

Mayor Bowser hid this report from you for more than four years, but now it's out in the world. Why? We fought to make it public — and we won.

NEWS: @mayorbowser.dc.gov has very unexpectedly released a report @ddotdc.bsky.social finished five years ago on what implementing congestion pricing in D.C. would look like. She had refused to make it public since it was done, but now calls congestion pricing "the wrong policy at the wrong time."

Missed this story the other day: Since 2019, DC has added 50 miles of bike lanes and 11 miles of bus lanes. But commute times have not changed, sinking opponents' arguments that the new infrastructure would cause havoc.

A new survey by the Metropolitan Council of Governments found that many people are still working from home part of the time -- but not federal workers.

The GGWash staff read and discussed Richard Schragger's City Power during our lunch breaks. Naturally, we all have takes to share on it.

It’s interesting to see how different countries/cities navigate preserving historic neighborhood character… A brand new high school building sits less than 50 feet from a temple gate built in 1775 in Kamakura (the temple itself is 800+ y/o.) Personally, I love seeing old and new together.

Pete’s on-the-street interviews find that streateries on 18th Street NW, which the District paid for but is, nonetheless, about to dismantle, are overwhelmingly popular. Alex ruminates on the connection between streateries and street closures.

Adams Morgan’s streateries are overwhelmingly popular. Forthcoming requirements put them and others at risk of vanishing

The #WeekWithoutDriving is a great opportunity for local public officials to tout the benefits of the investments they've made to expand transportation options in DC and share how it can be better. I hope to see more leaders sign up! @councilofdc.bsky.social @mayorbowser.bsky.social @wmata.com

The District isn't just a stage for a national show: people live here. And what happens here will set the scene for what happens in cities across the country.

While the District’s population went up by 15% between 2010 and 2020, Lanier Heights’ population increased only 3%. A downzoning is a big part of the reason the neighborhood hasn't grown.

Congratulations to the Office of Disability Rights for completing the new Olmstead Plan last month! 👏🏾 This plan sets a strategic vision for how we can make transportation in the District more accessible to seniors and people with disabilities.
