Happy Bloomingdale Community Day! Excited to see folks at Crispus Attucks Park today — and to judge the dog show! www.crispusattucksparkdc.org/community-day

Tomorrow! Bikers and newbies, sign up!

All — while the fire on 1st St NW is under control (details on X, lightbrd.com/dcfireems/st...), please note that 1st St NW remains blocked off between RI Avenue to Florida Avenue.

I have a theory that much of the illegal dumping in DC happens because DPW will not pick up bulk trash from apartment residents.

Delightful post-work bike ride this evening to see the cherry blossoms, and a super safe ride thanks to the 15th St bike lanes & bike lanes at Hains Point and E. Potomac Park.

Metro Bus customers: Tomorrow, March 21, multiple buses will detour for the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon. 🚌 👟 For a full list of detours, visit here: wmata.com/service/stat...

Two weekend runs in a row now where I’ve encountered a group of runners unfamiliar with the concept of sharing a sidewalk / trail.

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.

So what did the report find? Well, it considered a variety of congestion pricing models, from tolls on bridges and roads from Maryland and Virginia to a cordon around downtown that drivers would pay $5 to $10 to enter. Annual revenue would range from $110-667 million.

I used to be cool and now I get excited when DDOT sends me emails about approvals for new speed humps installation.

The lack of information here is astounding. Why even post this?

Is this our punishment because last summer’s heatwave was so brutal?

This gave me warm fuzzies! #BikeDC make sure anyone you know who might benefit has applied! Such a good program that we need more funding for!

Does anyone know if the sidewalk around the McMillan reservoir / or Michigan sidewalks opp Wash Hospital Center is clear of snow/ice yet?

Happy #transpoBINGO week! No whimsy on commute to the work or the gym today, but did advocate for @ddotdc.bsky.social to clear snow and ice from the NJ Avenue bike lanes and to salt/treat the cleared 9th St bike lanes!

Huge thanks to our neighbors who came out today to help clear some pedestrian ramps! My arms are going to fall off but at least i don’t have to climb the nearby mini mountains now.

Would love to know how we can get there given the state of our sidewalks and pedestrian ramps.

How exactly does one cross the street here.

Delighted to see all the kids out sledding today at Reservoir District and Crispus Attucks parks! Stay warm and shovel your sidewalks!

This looks dreadful, DC. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Absolutely horrifying and once again shows where this admin’s priorities lie (spoiler alert: not improving government services like OUC) statter911.com/2025/12/02/d...

Well, #WeekWithoutDriving came to an early end for a weekend trip to part of WV where there is no public transit available (which is a shame since driving is terrible and it’d be so much more pleasant to take the train!).

On Day 4 of #WeekWithoutDriving, it was just walking around the neighborhood — where I saw one driver not yield to pedestrians (kids to boot) in a crosswalk, and then another driver getting visibly frustrated because a young child was taking too long to cross the street.

On Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving there were some short bike rides to the gym, work, and then tennis lessons (thanks to DPR for the amazing program!), and a nice long walk to the Resevoir District park on this cool morning with the pupper.

On Day 2 of #WeekWithoutDriving, I biked to Capitol Hill and back from Bloomingdale, totaling about 8m roundtrip. The bike lane infrastructure in Cap Hill makes it super easy (and safe!) to get there.

On Day 1 of #WeekWithoutDriving, I biked to an errand (get your flu shot!) and then a work event later in the day - a total of 5 miles on the bike! The ongoing repaving work on Rhode Island Ave NW meant I had to take a longer route because unpaved roads and me do not do well.

Excited to participate again this year!

see the brief agenda of tonight's 6 pm ANC5E special call virtual meeting - resolution condemning federal overreach & return of local funds - resolution requesting identification of federal agents & officers @humaimtiaz5e04.bsky.social #BloomingdaleDC

Mayor Muriel Bowser has praised the surge and reserved her criticisms for ICE wearing masks. But tonight at a local school it was MPD who pulled up their gaiter, put on gloves, and approached me masked.

Nothing like sending FBI, DEA, HSI, and MPD in mass numbers to a high school football game to sow chaos and fear and make things less safe.

I signed on to this letter with my whole heart — a huge thank you the ANC Home Rule caucus that helped push this through.

Hit 500 miles on the e-bike today doing what I love the most: hauling groceries from the farmers market and running errands along the MBT. Always grateful to @amantgeorge.bsky.social who found this gorgeous bike for me and whose e-bike guide is a must read!

Latest newsletter is out, feat super helpful resources shared by @robertwhitedc.bsky.social and @cmzparker5.bsky.social: mailchi.mp/08688b63387b...

New: DC AG Brian Schwalb is suing over US AG Pam Bondi’s order attempting to install DEA head Terry Cole as a new federal police commissioner. Just as he did in last night’s legal opinion, he calls this a violation of the Home Rule Act, which leaves the mayor/chief in charge.

DMHHS and DHS have worked to expand the number of beds available. If you see someone that needs shelter tonight, please call the shelter hotline at (202) 399-7093 or 311. Here is also a helpful FAQ & resources from the DC Attorney General: oag.dc.gov/release/freq...

From @aclu-dc.bsky.social: "MPD officers cannot force you to show ID (except for a driver’s license if you’re stopped while driving). However, federal immigration officers can force you to show immigration documents and disclose your immigration status." www.acludc.org/know-your-ri...

The next 45 days are going to be a time when everybody in DC needs to know our rights and how to assert them. Here are five important things for everyone to know while DC is under occupation 🧵

Really love to be downtown where a driver told me to shove it up my c**t because I told him off for blocking the crosswalk with his SUV.

Grateful to the DPW team that came out this morning to address outstanding trash issues on 1st St NW and adjoining streets (like dumped paint cans, trash, random bits of furniture).

So thrilled to welcome them to the neighborhood! Hai Le and Gia Le have created a really wonderful, warm space (and the food is a++++).

Handed out a bunch of flyers for the new Better Bus routes this am and a ton of folks were already prepped for their new route (with some disappointed about the G8 route changes tho). @wmata.com

Nothing more heartwarming on DC TikTok right now than the heartfelt farewells people are posting for their @wmata bus routes and names.

This is your 41th monthly reminder that critical mass has been reached and the reaction continues. We must not back down from projects that give us safe infrastructure for mode choice. #BikeDC ggwash.org/view/99877/b...

This am: Driver yelled at me to get in the bike lane (which I couldn't cos its a contraflow lane). When I finally caught up to them and told them it was going the wrong way, they said they didn't understand foreign language (we were both speaking in English).

🔥 All eyes on DC’s first major heat wave of 2025 - it's going to be intense (once this stormy stretch ends Thurs) Sunday: Mid-90s Mon–Wed: Upper 90s, feels like 110 Could last 5-7 days! 📖 Full briefing: www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025... Pictured: Forecast heat index Monday

Every other comment on the virtual DDOT call about N. Cap is about how unsafe it is for pedestrians.

If anyone wants to see how much NPS and USPP cares about public health and safety, I can take them on a tour of the many NPS sites in DC that are in a godawful state.
