Some bike parties have volunteer corkers and then others have professional road crews!

Bike Friendly Communities awards status to bike friendly communities. Walk Friendly Communities awards status to walk friendly communities. Kind of weird there's not a Transit Friendly Communities organization to... y'know.

Kansas City beat DC to the punch on the "entertainment bridge" idea. Behold KC's Rock Island Bridge: rockislandkc.com

Branson is a theme park for suburbia the way Main Street Disney is a theme park for small town USA.

@imgoph.bsky.social It's been ten years but I still remember.

This person rode only regional rail & local buses from DC to Boston. Took them 22 hours and cost $110. old.reddit.com/r/transit/co...

Someone recently asked me what makes a good city planner vs a bad one. Here's my answer: Good planners value working with people to solve problems & achieve shared goals. Bad planners hide behind process to make themselves petty lords of a tiny fiefdom to gatekeep prosperity.

Two for one! BOGO!

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

The Virginia Breeze--VA's state-run intercity bus--keeps quietly expanding. No longer dependent on only DC as a hub, newest routes connects cross-state VA Beach to Harrisonburg. virginiamercury.com/2026/04/22/s...

"Oh are we experimenting with a new all brown livery? Lemme snap a pic!" Chat, it just needs a wash.

Correct take. When we see governors just up and decide to build big highway projects, they can get it done inside one term. Our long planning processes exist to paralyze change, and we need to stop accepting that as the natural order of the universe.

GGWash needs a new Breakfast Links curator. Would you be interested? Details: secure.everyaction.com/rSDZI2e5QUqH... @ggwash.org

Unpopular opinion: There is no such thing as "actual" neighborhood names or boundaries. Neighborhoods are inherently colloquial and however the common usage of them evolves, that's reality.

Somewhere in the annals of time, a nameless bureaucrat saved us from WART.

DC adds an average of 5,300 new housing units per year. Kenyan McDuffie's big plan is 12,000 new units by 2030. That's slower than the status quo! If that doesn't tell you what you need to know about McDuffie, IDK what will. hit.housingand.org/jurisdiction...

Farewell eulogy for the idealistic #DCStreetcar. You taught us that if we want strong transit, we must care enough to actually make transit strong. ggwash.org/view/102541/...

The Council just passed legislation to allow single-stair and single-entrance apartment buildings up to six stories in DC. Allowing single-stair buildings: ✅ Reduces housing construction costs ✅ Enables housing on narrow city lots ✅ Facilitates more family-sized units The bill passed unanimously.

Barbenheimer DC Metro Edition @wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social

People are getting their last #DCStreetcar rides in. Overhearing a lot of wistful sighs. One woman going on about being sad. Closes tomorrow.

Metro opened in 1976 with 5 stations. By one year later, there were 24 stations. By ten years later, there were 61. Imagine what an unthinkable failure it would have been if after that decade it still had only the original 5. #DCstreetcar

The streetcar may have been imperfect, but it looked good. Explore 10 years of images this Photo Friday.

Today's the day, DC

IDK maybe start with a bus system map. Break it up by county if you have to, fine. I like NJ Transit but the low hanging fruit there is bonkers.

It's interesting how the word "public" has largely replaced the word "mass" as a prefix for "transit" in English.

#PurpleLineMD test train rolling through the UMD campus

That was quick even by Boring Co. standards. The tunnel/Tesla people-mover outfit announced a "Ravens Loop" in Baltimore on Tuesday, then went quiet, then let the Ravens announce the next day that no, that's not happening. On to the next one. www.thebanner.com/community/tr...

I am here for this chart! 😍🌸

Five times in a six year span, planners tried to fix the streetcar. Each time, Bowser or Mendelson axed the fix. ggwash.org/view/99934/b...

Major public spaces like Union Station should not close for private events. This is not what they're for.

One of the lesser-discussed things about @DCStreetcar is how the median lanes on Benning Road work a lot better than the parking-adjacent ones on H Street, even though they're still mixed-traffic.

Gone are the days when out-of-state drivers could repeatedly drive recklessly in our communities while escaping consequences. We are going to court, winning judgments, securing settlements, collecting penalties, and filing new lawsuits. If you drive on DC streets, follow DC traffic laws.
