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.”

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that

Just emailed The Roost in Capitol Hill to let them know that while our household is a big fans and often order carryout, since they’re using DoorDash we won’t be ordering to go. I told them it would be great if they come up with other ordering options. #deletedoordash

Fine to disagree on tax policy, but not fine to work with GOP to significantly limit DC home rule. If DoorDash thinks DC will accept them intervening in our tax code, they don't deserve our business. I've deleted my DoorDash account and encourage others to do the same.

Interesting: DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. www.notus.org/metro/uberea...

The 850k-shell fireworks display in DC will cause an extreme spike in toxic PM2.5 particles, plunging air quality well into "Unhealthy" levels. The detonations will release heavy metals (barium, strontium) and gases like SO2, while perchlorates risk leaching into the Potomac amid stagnant, hot air.

Washington, DC became a leader in the US a few years ago when it began charging heavier cars a bigger registration fee to offset road damage. Next, we should tackle the impact larger cars have on parking. The longer your car, the more curb you take for yourself, the higher your parking permit fee.

Okay, so obviously this is very dumb, but for an explanation of why: The "rules being eased" is really "unwinding the phase-out of HFC refrigerants." HFCs are responsible for the extremely high global warming potential of refrigerants, and our previous saner government was working to fix this 1/x

💚 What a welcome sight for the 15th St bike lanes.
An eye-level, vertical night shot captures a freshly painted, bright green bike lane extension across a wide, freshly asphalted asphalt intersection.
The green lane consists of thick, horizontal parallel bars bordered by thin white dashed lines, resembling a green crosswalk, extending from the bottom left toward the middle background. A few small orange and lime-green traffic cones with white barricade bars section off the wet paint in the middle of the street. To the right, a standard white continental-style pedestrian crosswalk runs parallel.

Way too many of our public trash cans look just like this. Our BIDs service trash cans in the commercial corridors 3-4 times a day. We’re lucky if DPW/DGS gets to public cans once a week. DPW/DGS keep telling me they are working to increase frequency. Haven’t seen it yet.

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

DC implemented a new policy for its streeteries that cost restaurants $20,000 to implement. The result: virtually every restaurant eliminated their outdoor dining, many have reduced their hiring, & now a few cars can park more easily. Congrats on the successful policy change, DC government!

New rules mean many DC restaurants are closing streateries
The District made streateries permanent. But restaurant owners say the rules are too costly and complicated to keep them up.

Don’t be fooled. Removing protected bike lanes along 15th St. near the National Mall doesn’t alleviate congestion – it will cause more of it as accidents increase. It’s yet another effort by the federal government to politicize common-sense safety measures in the District.

Traffic volumes could decrease up to 11 percent, representing almost 65,000 fewer weekday car trips; transit use would jump by almost 25 percent in the most optimistic scenario; and people who still decided to drive would save up to 24 hours of time lost in traffic.
