For the DC Week Without Driving, @janeese4dc.bsky.social joined @ggwash.org organizers (and @elissasilverman.bsky.social) for a bus ride from Petworth to downtown. JLG emphasized her desire to get projects like the Georgia Ave dedicated lane done quickly: “We don’t need to study the study.”

She’s gonna be great! But longterm 5B02 Commissioner Ursula Higgins has also pulled petition sheets. This is an extremely consequential election and we need all hands on deck.

Seeing ~200 users a day, but the more we have using it, the more accurate it will be. And I'm hopeful that we'll have good enough data that it can be used for DPR oversight hearings next year to advocate for changes. Check it out here: pools.districtjosh.com (2/4)

DC has a once-in-a-generation chance to fix its housing crisis through the 2050 Comp Plan rewrite. OP's current proposal squanders it. I built a tool so you can see exactly where they're falling short: dc2050.org 1/4

Thank you Councilmember! While more funds will help immensely, we still need DPR to take community input seriously when weighing the inevitable heavy trade-offs in a complex project like this. ANC 5C will be considering a resolution tonight to push them on that. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We are being governed by the most corrupt, self-serving President this country has ever seen. DC has borne the brunt because we are not a state. The attempt to seize control of DC's public golf courses is another (small) example of how this harms regular people in DC and nationwide

This is good, but there should be triggers for the Office of Planning to apply for Map Amendments to the Zoning Commission to implement any FLUM changes, or they won’t do anything.

Last week, Dem @congressmin.bsky.social sided with Republicans to support the Trump takeover of DC. This is the wrong lesson to learn from recent Dem losses. Voters care about stances on everyday issues; performing moderation on issues they don’t care about doesn’t win elections

It’s fine to hold DC to a higher standard than the 50 US cities with higher crime rates. I do it all the time! I just also try to be serious about solutions. We need our judicial and prosecutorial vacancies filled.

On the Hill again, at the Hart Building talking to Senate offices asking our Democratic Senators to vote no on cloture and prevent the freezing of $1.1 billion in DC’s *local* budget. The current CR benefits no one, and would devastate the District.

My car randomly had a fully flat tire late at night last week, so I metroed home and dealt with it by train and bike the next morning. Bikes (and trains, and air pumps) make cars more feasible.

This week Luz Lazo published two articles in the @washingtonpost.com about traffic violence. 1️⃣ With less than 2 weeks left in 2023, there have been 47 fatalities—the most since 2007—and 6,000+ injuries this year on DC streets. Gift link: wapo.st/3tiUbFO

DC traffic deaths by year. The number of fatalities is up from 26 in 2015, when the city launched Vision Zero, a traffic safety strategy to eliminate road deaths by 2024.

“A vehicle could fail the pedestrian crash-worthiness test and still receive 5 stars,” he said. A voluntary evaluation isn’t enough for Jessica Hart, whose 5-year-old daughter Allie was struck and killed in 2021. Her petition on Change.org has collected more than 28,000 signatures.

New cars are supposed to be getting safer. So why are fatalities on the rise?

Government test data shows new passenger vehicles in the U.S. are extremely safe, but roadway deaths are steadily rising.
