Color me skeptical at that estimate. For years, Maryland and Montgomery ago argued about the costs for the Capital Crescent Trail as part of the Purple Line. This is a once is a century opportunity — DO IT.

Complete street projects reduce crashes and injuries, increase bike riding and walking rates, has little overall impact on vehicles speeds. See data for three DC project here: before-after-evaluations.ddot.dc.gov

It’s not just the District that Congress will be hurting if they pass this CR & DC budget cut. It’s the entire DMV region, it’s every worker who make transit run, it’s every visitor from around America coming to visit DC and can’t get around. $200M cut to Metro: www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/t...

The stop-work order on U.S.A.I.D.-funded research has left thousands of people with experimental drugs and devices in their bodies, with no access to monitoring or care. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/h...

My heart breaks for 67 people killed in yesterday’s plane cranes. Statistically, 78 people were also killed in traffic crashes today, yesterday, the day before that and likely tomorrow and every day going forward unless something changes.

My thoughts are with Darrick Ward’s family and friends. I was interviewed by Darrick numerous times over the years. He was a dedicated, kind, fair, and professional journalist. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/d...

Happy New Years! Not going to get to the @mayorbowser.bsky.social Fresh Start 5K start line this morning (kids…) but I got the kilometers in. Hope everyone has a great run. #beatyesterday connect.garmin.com/modern/activ...

This is great news! NYC is in great hands. Congrats @bfurnas.bsky.social!

How it started…. How it ended….😭😭😭

Any chance of a native iPad version of Bluesky? Asking for a squinting friend.

Pickup trucks use to be a reasonably sized.

Pulled up the sweet potato harvest last week from the backyard raised bed including a 9” 4.3lb giant. This has to be DC State Fair blue ribbon contender.

Required reading for Thanksgiving Day in America. A gutting personal narrative of the daily trauma, harassment, cruelty, and lack of humanity of a person experiencing homelessness. “a society speeding along as it disintegrates”

This my semi-annual resounding endorsement for the Nat’l Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. It’s the best children’s museum with days of things to explore. There are three arcades, a Wegmans grocery store, Sesame Street and much more. It’s worth the trip to Upstate NY on its own.

When did passing stopped cars on the left over the double yellow line to make a right turn on red become the newest dangerous move? And can we stop it now? I’ve seen it twice today.

Textbook definition of failing up.

Crowdsourcing — any place in DC or nearby where miniature liquor bottles can be purchased in bulk? Making a piñata for a 40th birthday party.

Hello to all the new followers! I see the migration from the bad place to here is picking up. Bring your friends. I’ll be here much more too.

Where are these DC residents three years later? I don't see them working to "take back our sidewalks" for pedestrians now that they passed a dumb scooter law.

Selfishness in Bethesda.

This light posts placement engage me with a burning fire.

NPS is accepting comments on the Mount Vernon Trail and GW Parkway EA. I hope people will ask NPS to plan for a trail connection from the MVT to the Roosevelt Bridge. DDOT is building a widened path on the downstream side of the bridge that needs a VA connection. cc: @juddlumberjack.bsky.social

Why isn't there a MARC train station at Shady Grove? Compared to nearby Washington Grove, there seems to be MUCH more opportunities for TOD and another MARC/WMATA transfer station.

I can’t believe the anti-woke movement would ever allow a bilingual debate. Heads must be exploding all over.

Upgraded to a new iPhone after 4 years, but ran into a snag. I’m on AT&T for my primary plan and a cheap Mint prepaid plan for work. But, didn’t realize my carrier locked phone wouldn’t take an extra eSIM. So, hope no one calls my work number until I figure something out.

Introduce yourself with some jobs you’ve done apart from what you do now: - soccer ref (first paid job) - busker - catering wait staff - wilderness canoe instructor

“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.

I’ve made it to the good place. I’m also still on the old place and the new place. Am I missing any other places?
