To be clear, there are already two candidates in 5B06 and I was not advising you to run.

There would appear to be a competitive election in 5B06 as well. The Commissioner there could help Bree… or not.

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.

Meh. Can we extract cloverleaf improvements out of it? It’s ugly so make DC beautiful or whatever?

This is well known. It is a very large capital project that might not be very high on the list. But I’m pretty sure it’s on the list. ANC 5C tried to get money for it as part of the PUD for a large industrial facility adjacent to it, but it just went a different way. drive.google.com/file/d/1XGxH...

There is a pending New York Ave sidewalk improvement project (dunno the latest, maybe @fixcircle.bsky.social does) that could potentially move the poles or clean up the curb cut. Seems easier than trying to get a new random one added if these are the constraints.

Why not enter at the circle using the driveway here? This is usually where I do it.

- SBP: Strategic Bikeways Plan. A new five-year work plan that they did a comically large amount of outreach over in late 2025. - SDA: South Dakota Ave. A road diet with possible bike lanes was studied in FY24-25 but shelved for intersection spot fixes which are proceeding

The one thing I’d change now that we know there’s a new admin is that I’d push for unshelving the SDA study before it gets stale.

100

I would rather have this SBP released sooner rather than later (it was quietly delayed) and then have the new admin amp up the timetable. I obviously hope all the resolutions asks are on the 5yr plan but I’d settle for a solid fraction. My standards are quite low at this point!

Yeah I understand the unease but everything about the conditions there is so lousy, I feel like any standards need to be lowered for a while. Though this negotiation went a completely different way (reducing heavy industrial uses), we also cataloged some asks here drive.google.com/file/d/1XGxH...

To: Dir Kershbaum, Greg Billing, Chris Berg. CC ddot bike lanes inbox, Parker’s team, MOCRS on Feb 19. Dir Kershbaum responded same day thanking us and saying they would review it. It’s just in the morass of SBP work so I didn’t expect a specific response.

This is an idea. Like here? I often bike on the sidewalk for the whole gap from Montana Circle to 18th but I imagine a Bunch doesn’t fit through obstacles?

Bikeshare itself is owned by the jurisdictional DOTs that literally build bike lanes, but I agree it’s an odd thing to say.

Bobcats on the 9th st bridge sidewalk right now!

VJ @vjkapur.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Not aware of any progress on the bridges besides Franklin, unfortunately.

The Bladensburg rail underpass just south of QC is also a disaster waiting to happen if folks are taking additional swings at this problem today.

100

fwiw no progress on QC bridge sidewalk as of just now.

100

Hopefully they’ll hit all the bridges today.

I noted when I called that if DDOT is handling sidewalks, they should be sure to handle bike lanes on Franklin and Monroe too. For many reasons, including keeping bikes and scooters off the sidewalk.

I just called and helped craft a detailed memo on the topic for escalation, covering bike lanes and sidewalks on the list of bridges and the DDOT/DPW conflict.

VJ @vjkapur.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Is there anything folks can do to push this along? 9th St bridge, QC, Taylor, Monroe, Franklin are all pretty bad on sidewalks (and bike lanes where applicable) and they’re major points of failure in the network obviously.

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

Don’t get me wrong; I have my gripes. Especially around ZC 24-11 and their failure to create an MU-PDR zoning form before this case came up.
