Since the 15th Street Protected Bike Lane was installed: • Crashes ⬇️ 46% • Bike injuries ⬇️ 91% Removing the PBL between Constitution Ave and the Tidal Basin would increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles at one of the busiest times of year.

Excellent work by @wmata.com & Metro Transit Police in making public transportation safer for all users! This dovetails with efforts by @dcpolicedept.bsky.social that have reduced violent crime citywide by 48% YTD compared to 2023.

Due to the forecasted severe weather, DCPS will close schools two hours early on Monday, March 16. Afterschool and evening activities are cancelled. Staff will remain at school until all students are safely dismissed.

📌Good data on how big an impact DOGE cuts are having on DC's economy. It's critically important to create tens of thousands of new jobs in DC. 💡Without economic growth, future DC budgets will continue to be an enormous challenge because of flat or declining revenue growth.

🚨🚧🚨 Major morning commute disruptions in Foggy Bottom area. 🚧 Portions of 23rd Street & Constitution Ave NW are closed through midday. 🚧 Roosevelt Bridge ramps to Constitution Ave are closed. Traffic is diverted to E Street Expressway or Potomac River Freeway.

Visiting the DPW Snow Command Center to see how we’re deploying hundreds of snowplow teams across the city to plow and treat the roads. 🙏 Please stay off the roads tonight so our snowplow teams can work safely! Stay home, read a book, work on a puzzle, or bingewatch a hockey show.

Thank you to all DC Gov agencies working at the HSEMA Emergency Operations Center! Teams are working 12-hour shifts to make sure streets are cleared, DC Gov facilities are ready to open & our most vulnerable residents are safe.

A Snow Emergency will go into effect Saturday at noon. And remain in effect until Tuesday at 9:30AM. That means residents need to move their vehicles out of Snow Emergency Routes as soon as possible to give our snow teams space to plow.

Snow Team Heroes help shovel walkways for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Interested in signing up? Register before 3PM Saturday to help with this storm. Already signed up? Here's everything you need to know about picking up your gear:

We've officially declared a Snow Emergency and a State of Emergency in Washington, DC. A Snow Emergency, which goes into effect Saturday at noon, means residents must move vehicles off of Snow Emergency Routes. A State of Emergency impacts District operations, as detailed in my Mayor's Order:

Good weekend read from @opindc.bsky.social on how @mayorbowser.dc.gov is trying to make it easier & faster to build more housing in Metro-adjacent Ward 3 neighborhoods. ggwash.org/view/101946/...

In 2025, DC had the lowest number of roadway fatalities since 2014. Big picture: 1. Roadway fatalities: -52% 2. Major roadway injuries: -29% 3. Driver fatalities: -67% Our strategies to improve traffic safety are working.

Thanks to intensive Congressional lobbying by @mayorbowser.dc.gov & her team, bipartisan spending bill increases DC TAG for 1st time in 20+ years, includes $90M for public safety, & prevents freeze of DC local funds in case of another continuing resolution. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Mathew McCollough, Director of the Office of Disability Rights. Our thoughts and condolences are with Mat’s wife and family, his friends and loved ones, ODR staff, and community members and colleagues who mourn his loss.

Latest economic analysis: DC lost 24,000 Fed Gov jobs in the past year. DC's CFO says 40,000 DC residents will lose their jobs from DOGE-related impacts. @mayorbowser.dc.gov's Growth Agenda is critical to rebuilding DC's economy & creating new jobs for residents. dmped.dc.gov/page/fy26-gr...

Officer Terry Bennett tragically lost his life in the line of duty while doing what he was known to do—helping and caring for the people around him. My full statement on the passing of Metropolitan Police Department sworn officer Terry Bennett:

Removing ATE cameras would endanger people in our community. We call on our federal partners to stand with us in prioritizing safety and respecting the District’s ability to govern our own streets. My full statement:

We know the DOGE cuts will eliminate some 40,000 jobs for DC residents. We need to reposition the DC local economy to reflect the long-term impacts of Fed Gov reductions. Which means we need to convert empty office buildings into thriving residential communities.

🚨 Tonight there will be a fireworks display around 8PM near the Washington Monument/National Mall.
