DC traffic safety issues are largely caused by suburban drivers who we can't discipline effectively and who congressional Republicans are trying to shield from our traffic cameras.

After nearly a decade of advocacy, Cobb Park is partially open! 🌳 Starting today, the 2nd St NW gates are open sunrise to sunset — with paths, an open field, and a playground ready to go. More to come this spring, but for now: enjoy!

A tidbit: Passenger service in Waymo and other self-driving vehicles isn't coming anytime soon in D.C. A long-delayed report from the D.C. Department of Transportation that would detail how self-driving cars could be legalized won't be done until May. The D.C. Council can't act before that's done.

Interesting: For all the hate D.C.'s traffic cameras get, there seems to be some evidence drivers are responding by not speeding, running red lights and so on. Below is data on traffic camera tickets from 12/2024 to 12/2025. There was a pretty steady decline for most of 2025.

Deeply disappointed in MD SHA - only marginal improvements to Blue Line’s Central Av/MD 214 planned. Excessive high speed 6 lanes of traffic remain when could be 4 lanes. Seems serious walk safety improvements were avoided due to concern about cost. Low cost tactics like paint not considered.
