NYC is leading the way. When will DC finally do bike boulevards? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/05/06/b...

To everyone saying, "How oh how do we stop Google Maps cut-through traffic??" ...I present to you the solution, which we've had for 50 years in Berkeley.

new protected #bikedc lanes on Kansas Ave between Blair Rd (MET Branch Trail) and Madison St NW. cc: @washcycle.bsky.social

Bummer... CCT won't open until Fall 2026 now. cc: @washcycle.bsky.social www.purplelinenow.com

@mattyglesias.bsky.social This seems like a pro-business AND good urbanism approach. What do you think?

@mattyglesias.bsky.social JLG is focusing on helping business owners do their business effectively -> economic growth.

Proud that @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social (along with every other CM) voted for Single Stair reform! dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blo...

Counterpoint: this space, sandwiched between 2 stroads, will be a ghost town.

@wmatagm.bsky.social @metrobusinfo.bsky.social Today's bus roulette, but with the official WMATA app. Bus scheduled for 750, BUT no bus on the map and a vague warning that there are significant delays.

Shot, chaser

@wmatagm.bsky.social @metrobusinfo.bsky.social another day of bus roulette. Is the bus we need just not showing its location or is it not running and we the up late for school? Last week we were late.

Transport is responsible for over 1 in 10 deaths from #airpollution worldwide. While electrification is key, our latest study with FIA Foundation shows that shifting trips away from cars is just as critical. Explore the findings 👉 itdp.org/publication/...

@wmatagm.bsky.social ugh guess I'm standing around in the cold for the next 30 minutes.

👇 DDOT was scolding people for walking in the street while DPW plow were creaing snow mountains at every crosswalk.

Riding the bus right now is a disaster. Conflicting information from different official sources. Lots of bus bunching. Many routes out of service. Bus stops are mountains of snow and ice. @wmatagm.bsky.social

This is essentially the rejected design for Georgia Ave bus lanes. @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social

Hot take: Going to bat for brutalist architecture that is widely despised outside of elite architecture circles is not good politics. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

Since 2000, London has added more than 1.9 million residents (+26%), but the number of vehicle miles driven has declined by 10%; it's declined most spectacularly in the center. Outside of London, vehicle miles traveled have increased rapidly over the same period. content.tfl.gov.uk/travel-in-lo...

I think a mayor could win election just by making normal DC government actually function effectively.

Every day this happens. @wmatagm.bsky.social keeps saying bus service is good, but actually riding the bus is a much different, more frustrating experience.

Example for DC to follow? @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social

This is excellent! Nice work, @wmatagm.bsky.social @metrobusinfo.bsky.social wtop.com/dc-transit/2...

Need to focus more on improving bus service, both at @wmata.com and at @ddotdc.bsky.social It's not great and getting steadily worse.

Typical "progressive community" playbook: Step 1: mandate luxury housing Step 2: ban cheap housing Step 3: express shock that housing is so expensive Step 4: don't change anything

Progress on MET Branch Trail up to Maple St SW. Now paved, but not fully striped. Rideable but not officially open. Looking nice, @ddotdc.bsky.social #bikedc cc: @washcycle.bsky.social

Anyone know the story behind this one-block stretch of protected #bikedc lane on Mass Ave between NJ Ave NW & 2nd St NW? It's only on the north side of the street. @washcycle.bsky.social

It's wild that DC still has minimum parking requirements. Toronto, SF, Austin, Minneapolis, Denver, Vancouver, both Portlands, and now Baltimore removed theirs. Your move DC council: @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social @cmzparker5.bsky.social

@ddotdc.bsky.social nearly saw 2 kids killed going home from school today. @mayorbowser.dc.gov @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social

Fascinating data & maps from NRDC. In DC, 67% of adults live in car-lite or car-free households 32% live in completely car-free households This is entirely the result of density, transit, walkability, and bikeability. www.nrdc.org/resources/wh...

What ADU densification it looks like. Homes over garages.

ADUs can make a decent dent in housing production if done well. In LA they are now 1/3 of all new units. h/t @cayimby.bsky.social cayimby.org/news-events/...

D74 bus, with the consolidated stops and bus priority on Columbia road, is a game changer. Well done @wmata.com @ddotdc.bsky.social @wmatagm.bsky.social !!

New near-side Dutch-style #bikedc signals! CC: @washcycle.bsky.social

@cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social why are protected bike lanes so scarce in Ward 4? How can I help move projects along faster?

It's a beautiful home, but today every alley home has to be a bespoke project, like this one. The way to get these built regularly is to make them legal to build without getting cumbersome zoning exceptions. Help us Make Alley Homes Boring Again. actionnetwork.org/letters/alle...

I think stadium subsidies are a horrible deal, and I agree that DC got screwed on this one, but it's hard to blame the council for making a deal that had +30 point support among voters. Someone has to convince the majority of people that these are a bad idea, and no one was successful at that task.

Guess where this forlorn place is?

If only wealthy people can afford to move into your community, it's not a welcoming community.

This would be big addition to the #bikedc #bikemd #bikemoco network! @washcycle.bsky.social mocoshow.com/2025/09/04/s...

Every time someone say no one is using the bike lanes...

National Guard soldiers called into service for President Trump's law enforcement surge in D.C. have been assigned to spread mulch at federal monuments. Normally the Park Service does that, but the administration laid off the workers. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

We have to decide which is more important. **Doing nothing** favors even more displacement, homelessness, and an increasing gap between the rich and the poor.

Your regular reminder that DC still requires parking for most development. @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social

Yes! It's crazy to subsidize billionaires while we cut aid and services to DC families. Literally what Bowser is proposing.

DC is doing something right. I personally give a good amount of credit to @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social for championing a law (STEER Act) targeting the most dangerous drivers & @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social for using it against those dangerous drivers in a very public way.
