NPS wants to take down the never used Glen Echo Overpass. Maybe we can replace it with a velodrome!

Members of Arlington bicycle panel remain angry over reduced responsibilities

There was once going to be a bike trail along NY Avenue built with this, using an old rail tunnel to get underneath of it, but I'm not sure if that is still the case. www.rtands.com/passenger/am...

This is a new one. Yes, it’s parked right there

Early work on the new Long Bridge - which should(?) have a bike bridge component.

Over the summer Arlington put some lane dividers and experimental protection at some intersections along bike lanes, but not concrete barriers which the photo implies. www.arlnow.com/2025/07/02/n...

Bikeshare Boo: September ridership on Capital Bikeshare was down compared to last year, but annual ridership is up 19%.

I wonder how this will impact the trail planned to go along the Shepherd Branch in Anacostia. I saw that as a long-shot already, but does this make it more or less likely? A trail there is still a good idea. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

NATIONAL LINKS: An increase in road deaths could follow the exportation of US car safety standards. A landscape architect has executed a vision for a huge urban park in Mexico City. Houston's mayor has reduced bike lanes and tried to avoid Republican ire.

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

The Army Navy Drive complete streets project is wrapping up construction and will be unveiled on the morning of October 29th. www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

"The cameras would also issue tickets to vehicles that double-park in restricted areas such as bike lanes." www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Larson's case exemplifies D.C.'s complicated legal system. The U.S. Attorney for D.C. took years to investigate what happened, but opted not to charge anything since they largely look at felonies. It was then bumped to the D.C. Attorney General, but that's only misdemeanors.

Today Virginia resident Sophia Maltas was sentenced to 45 days in jail for hitting and killing 24-year-old Nina Larson as she was crossing Columbia Road NW in a crosswalk in November 2021. The sentencing hearing was emotionally wrenching and difficult.

A note on this hit and run fatality involving Lisa Martin. It happened just a few hundred feet from where Dr. Yoram Janusz Kaufman was struck and killed in 2008. That crash had no witnesses and cyclists did not believe the driver's story that he swerved in front of the car. wtop.com/maryland/202...

Another cyclist killed by a reckless driver. I know the roads where Lisa was killed well; there’s absolutely no reason this had to have happened. Slow down, pay attention, and if you hit someone, render aid. hyattsvillewire.com/2025/10/15/l...

BREAKING: The Transportation Planning Board did not approve a Virginia plan to extend Express Lanes from Springfield to the National Harbor area. There was a lot of opposition from Prince George’s Co. TPB voted to allow VDOT to try again in the future but it has “work to do.”
