I'm happy that 901 Monroe St NE (that ANC 5F voted to support) is finally moving forward. I'm disappointed by the concessions that were made and all the advocacy that had to happen, but getting 200+ units right across from the Brookland/CUA metro is to be celebrated. dc.urbanturf.com/articles/blo...

Fresh NOI from @ddotdc.bsky.social - they're finally closing the gap between the crosstown cycletrack and the MBT! Trail plans here: trails.ddot.dc.gov/pages/michig...

Power outage in Edgewood. According to their website, Pepco estimates restoration by 9pm. Report via their website so they have the most updated information.

Since a few folks have checked in with me, I figure it'd be good to put this in writing: I am not requesting a National Guard presence in Edgewood. The deployment of troops in DC against our will is based on false pretenses, and is a violation of our sovereignty.

We will be holding a special meeting on Tuesday, September 2nd at 6pm. It will be virtual only. Agenda and dial-in information can be found on our meetings page: www.anc5f.com/meetings

If anyone learns of more details about this crash, please send them my way.

Really sad to see Indigo get denied the zoning relief for their second restaurant. 5F02 has a spot open in the former Brookland Pint space. Come on over to this side of N Cap!

While this vote did not go the way I wanted, I remain committed to ensuring that restaurant wages are sustainable, livable, and fair. As we look to the budget and a need to find a solution without a repeal of I-82, I have invited representatives of our restaurants, the restaurant association...(1/3)

I tried to reply to your email but got a bounceback. Here's what I wrote: I find this immensely disappointing and paternalistic. I, along with 75% of the voting electorate, twice voted for an elimination of the tipped minimum wage. (ctd)

I had a wonderful ride with @swiderski.bsky.social, @bryanhart.bsky.social and other members of the #bikedc community at tonight's #RideOfSilence. It sucks that we have to come together under these circumstances, but it warms my heart to have a community such as ours to pay respects alongside.

Join us for: 🚲-> 🍕🍻 ⏰ Gather at 10:30am Sat May 17th 📍N Michigan Park Rec Ctr 📍metrobar Ride : 3.2 miles. See you there #bikedc!

I love to see so many excited neighbors. It was a privilege to work within ANC 5F to get their alcohol license sorted out ASAP.

Signage is up for the Edgewood Trader Joe's!

I stand ready to support the Hope Community Public Charter School - Tolson Campus community as they go through a difficult transition. See my statement on the school's forthcoming closure here 👇🏾

Tomorrow!

The @transpobingo.bsky.social closing event was a blast. Many thanks to @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social, @handlebarsdc.bsky.social and the other organizers for such a wonderful week.

My final #TranspoBINGO updates! I helped advocate for public restrooms, stayed car free, and am committing to hauling more awkward things via bike instead of having them shipped. Two bingos!

Ticked off two more #transpobingo squares yesterday evening as I took an electric @bikeshare.bsky.social bike to and from a meetup downtown. I used the best trail in the city (the MBT) both ways.

Awesome to see DDOT out here planting some trees.

This evening I joined ANC 5F's transportation committee meeting and helped draft several resolutions that will go up for a full commission vote later this month. I ticked another #TranspoBINGO square in the process!

It’s a “Novelty Ride” for #TranspoBINGO taking the 52/54 along a former streetcar route. So much nerding out! 🤓 And then snacks and drinks at local TKPK fave Motorkat. A lovely outing and a reminder that active transpo brings people together and builds community. Thanks, @aru5f02.bsky.social!

Had a great time touring an old DC trolly line on the 52/54 bus with @aru.io @erinpalmerdc.bsky.social @swiderski.bsky.social @angelaallison.bsky.social et al, and got a "novel ride: past and future" square for #TranspoBINGO to boot! 🚍 🚎 🎉

I ticked off two more #TranspoBINGO squares today! First exploring L'enfant Plaza, an area that I've only transited through. Second, a bus ride along the an old streetcar line, where we discussed the history of the streetcar and how these networks connect our communities to this day!

Small programming note: we'll be transferring from the 52 to the 54 at 14th & F.

Join me this afternoon! RSVP below 👇

I'm riding the old trolly tracks tomorrow for a #TranspoBINGO square for @aru.io's event, come join us! 🚍 🚎 🎉

Tomorrow afternoon I'm hosting a #Transpobingo event. Join me in riding Metrobus along a former streetcar line. RSVP at the quoted link! 👇

Next #MBTPubroll stop is City State Brewing, who shared some sad news today in announcing they're ceasing production, and will transition to pouring beers from other breweries. Ticking off another #Transpobingo square to support this local business.

First #Transpobingo square ticked! Biked to Wonderland Ballroom to join the #MBTPubroll and witnessed the future 11th St NW protected bike lanes! It's always good to see @wvistheduck.bsky.social and @handlebarsdc.bsky.social in the wild. @transpobingo.bsky.social

Bryant St bridge: clear! East ramp clear, west ramp has ice but clear paths. MBT: clear! Have a safe commute Many thanks to @aru5f02.bsky.social DPW @wmata.com @mayorbowser.bsky.social @cmzparker5.bsky.social @brianneknadeau.bsky.social all helped make sure we weren't forgotten this storm!

We (ANC 5F) unanimously voted in support of such a program. It's great to see @brianneknadeau.bsky.social , @cmzparker5.bsky.social, and other councilmembers put something forward!

Congrats to supporters of Maryland's bottle bill - legislation to reduce plastic pollution & protect the environment - for continuing to gain momentum! Stay tuned: Tomorrow, joined by 10 of my colleagues, I'm excited to introduce DC's bottle bill! www.sierraclub.org/maryland/blo...

Ed has done a wonderful job chairing our Library Task Force. Check out the latest update 👇

NEW: DC's lottery and sports betting contractors will pay $6.5 million for defrauding the District. Intralot and VSC conspired to win DC's lucrative sports betting contract by deceiving officials about their compliance with DC's small business contracting laws. The deal was a sham from the start.

Hello world! I'll be moving my ANC presence from Twitter/X to Bluesky.
