A FIFTY percent reduction in crashes is staggering—success that could easily be replicated in many other places for cheap.

.@DDOTDC Dir. Kershbaum over here gaslighting us about bike infrastructure esp in Ward 8 as a reason it’s NBD to eliminate the Circulator. She doesn’t have the expertise or vision to lead DDOT & shouldn’t be confirmed. @CMZParker5 washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…

More women in urbanist spaces because there isn’t enough talk about how pedestrian safety also includes women being free from the verbal/physical abuse/catcalling that happens while walking alone.

Exciting! Using a largely disused station as a mall maybe made sense once, but the mall operator was then standing in the way of better using it for trains. We need an amazing station, not a beautiful mall with a junky mini station stuck on the back.

Would anyone say that the YIMBY movement in general supports building single-family homes on the edge of cities/metro areas (i.e. sprawl)?

Is anyone going to challenge Mayor Bowser? Her budget reeks of corporate/Big Development opportunism and undermines DC residents' access to community services and infrastructure. Her budget is anti-climate, anti-transparency, and contrary to mainstream DC Democratic values.

Bowser shows again that she doesn't care about making this city a nice place to live only a nice place for suburbanites to come play and leave.

SCOOP: @DEAHQ to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The DEA’s biggest policy change in its half-century history could have massive ripple effects, aligning the federal government closer to the 24 states that have already legalized weed. apnews.com/article/mariju…
A big question among YIMBYs: can new suburban housing make urban areas more affordable? A new working paper from @Harvard_JCHS says not really. Instead, we should focus on greater urban density. jchs.harvard.edu/blog/can-new-s…
A FIFTY percent reduction in crashes is staggering—success that could easily be replicated in many other places for cheap.
Curb extensions reduce pedestrian injuries by shortening crosswalks. The sidewalk extensions and streateries in Georgetown reduced crashes by 50%. The bike rack is a just a bonus to help keep the existing brick sidewalk clear of bikes & scooters.
Look, tensions are running high in DC right now. The primary is a month away. So why not take a moment for something lighthearted? I interviewed @DDOTDCDirector about how they came to impersonate a DC agency head, and how they've kept this bit going: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/693065…
“But it is difficult to top the account’s interaction with White for its pure absurdity. When the councilmember, who has been railing against bike lanes for years now, posted on Dec. 17 that “DDOT is destroying the fabric of DC streets” with such safety measures and lamented…”

Fun fact: My wedding ceremony was on a city street and I spent months arranging a legal closure, had meetings about it, put up notices, the whole nine yards. Wedding was on a Sunday. A car was parked illegally right in the middle of the ceremony. Calls and calls, we were SIL.
@oucmecalling311 @KyleEChadwick @FakeTagsDC @SafeSidewalksDC @DCCarViolence Good Evening ! Thanks for the alert. Parking Enforcement does not work on Sunday's that will have to go to DC 911 for non emergency for parking. Have a great day
@BrianneKNadeau More than new registration requirements, I'd like to see traffic enforcement including towing. Just like car drivers that rack up $1000s of fines they never pay, moped drivers who don't face consequences for unsafe behavior have no incentive to drive safely.
We are working to bring order to the moped food delivery industry and hold sellers, renters, and operators of mopeds accountable. Public safety takes many forms and one of them is traffic safety.
FOR IMMED. RELEASE: Councilmember Nadeau, joined by @charlesallen, introduced legislation Monday to address the proliferation of mopeds in DC by making sellers and renters of mopeds responsible for registration requirements, similar to the experience of buying or renting a car.
@DavidZipper Hi David - great piece, and I’d love your thoughts on the next step. If these policies create enormous profits for domestic automakers, and if NHTSA is at least partially subject to regulatory capture, what is the most feasible route to “unwinding these ill-conceived policies”?
@DavidZipper @voxdotcom But they need the large vehicles to carry cargo home...
Oversized SUVs and trucks worsen a slew of societal problems, including crash deaths, climate change, and tire pollution. But rather than restrain car bloat, federal policy has actively encouraged it. In @voxdotcom I explained how. 🧵 vox.com/future-perfect…

Wouldn't have an MPD escort but could claim it's "marshalled" :)

@dcsportsbog "productive traffic mitigation" - now that's some top notch business-speak
You want to talk about traffic mitigation, let me tell you about this thing called the bus...
From Ted: “I drove and walked around the neighborhood and was so happy to see the District’s commitment to creating an incredible environment: cleaning crews across multiple streets, police presence, productive traffic mitigation.” monumentalsports.com/2024/04/a-lett…
Someone actually mapped this onto Google Maps for those who would like to feel additional pain. google.com/maps/d/u/0/vie…
Forever wild to me that Los Angeles once had the best transit system in the world and we ripped it all up.
