VRE crossing icy Potomac. Long bridge construction underway

1. No amount of mutual aid can replace a government that works.

Can confirm

@wmata.com @wmatagm.bsky.social the rail stations are clear but even at the busiest bus stops in the city riders are climbing over walls of ice to board. @cmcharlesallen.bsky.social noted this issue earlier on Instagram. What is being done?

No way we will have cleared sidewalks unless the city is going to do it. Even if every property owner does their own front the crosswalks are walled in by road plowing

Not everyone in this city lives in rich neighborhoods where the sidewalks are miles wide and shoveled by elves or something. Most sidewalks are barely passable for many days. "Rely on the sidewalks" you refuse to widen? Eat my entire ass. Stop posting this nonsense.

Coming in at a healthy 5 inches of snow on Capitol Hill in Ward 6! ❄️ Take CWG advice below – now is the time to get that first shovel before the sleet moves in. It’s powdery, pushable, and a lot easier to clear than it will be later. You can even use a broom to sweep it clear.

You cannot imagine the disastrous driving that a Sphere is going to trigger in Maryland. You cannot park a Sphere at 495 and Shepherd Parkway. Maryland drivers cannot be entrusted with this technology

Simply updating and codifying this as qualification criteria for grants would help massively: bsky.app/profile/ndha...

“Janeese is my closest ally on the council. She is the vote I never have to whip… to ensure the prosperity of this city is not built on the backs of workers,” says Ward 1 Councilmember Brianne Nadeau in a speech endorsing Lewis George. “The campaign is about taking back the city from the cronies.”

Forget often how good Capital Bikeshare is compared to peer systems

US spent many years chasing single-stage to orbit, 100% reusable, winged fly-back launchers, while not investing in other approaches or even upgrading 'traditional' rockets. Left is the early 1990s DC-X reusable rocket hopper, which both Musk and Bezos credit, but neither DOD or NASA pursued

@mnolangray.bsky.social I feel you might like to know that the Burger King building is now offering bedrooms starting at $849/mo, or ~$925/mo total when factoring the utility and the amenity fees. Rents have fallen as new buildings came up. Now it's $288 cheaper per month than when I lived there!

Inshallah this is the year we finally destroy that hyperborean interloper colloquially known as "Santa Claus"

Work group recommendations on MTA reform Further study of creation of a MD rail authority (like VPRA) Enhanced authorities (quick-take, delegated procurement, Tort parity treatment) Internal split of services -Baltimore Core Services (Link) -Commuter services (MARC, MTA commuter)

What happened to the DC single stair bill?

Everyone on MARC and VRE they are wasting two minutes of your time at every stop and they think it’s just totally fine to do forever.

Speed matters. You wouldn’t know it from WMATA bus signal priority, which limited signal interruption to maintain car traffic flow. You wouldn’t know it looking at VRE or MARC, who are happy to keep running slow boarding multilevel trains from low platforms, hauled by limbering diesel locomotives.

A lot of towns do not provide bus service if you live less than a mile and a half and a lot of towns have horrible sidewalks or you can't walk to school because it's the school is in the middle of like a field or by like a major state route

$3 billion for the BRT option?🤦‍♂️

DC uses absolutely insane levels of salt

💯 so many new developments actually do have pretty high density with townhouses and 2 over 2s but then it just in a homogenous sea of residential with all the amenities down a stroad in another sea of parking

Which mayoral candidate will propose free childcare for DC? You will have my sword.

Let’s legalize single stair in DC to the height limit.

Reading this sitting in traffic on a bus that was supposed to have transit lanes but doesn’t because we couldn’t dare ban left turns

Flash BRT loses dedicated lanes at the busiest section of colesville road

The P3 model for transit has been an abject failure. Every GTA transit project is late and over budget. One opened with issues. How has this model benefited taxpayers?

Because of the first bill I ever passed, @wmata.com has to submit a deep dive on Maryland ridership every five years. Here is the latest version: tinyurl.com/yt34e7jh

This project took me away from local coverage for a bit but I'm very glad we did it -- a story about the political and legal limitations that have kept the Vision Zero movement in the U.S. from succeeding, and the subsequent death of a young woman on a road known to be unsafe wapo.st/49WM4BI

Both Colorado and Minnesota have seen declines in freight due to the end of coal. Is anyone tracking this and are there other places where passenger rail could benefit from reductions in competing traffic?

No need to delay: Not only did the Board of Elections clearly state that they are ready and capable of implementing ranked choice voting, but the voters already told us how they "assessed the need" by overwhelmingly passing it at the ballot box.

Does anyone know if WMATA has committed to putting the MTA purple line on its map?

Perhaps our grandchildren will live to see it complete

Looking forward to level boarding platforms being a component of the next generation streetcar plan which we will never fund.

It’s amazing the excuses DOTs will invent to shut you up

Baca is dead on. Bowser sees any pedestrianization as a special hazard. It’s not that hard!

I was thinking again about how medical lingo in English is typically rendered in Greco-Latin that the common people does not comprehend. Considering that every single person interacts with the medical system... why the gatekeeping terms?

With modern metro-like trains and better organizational integration we could have a DC-Baltimore metro. The MARC Penn line infrastructure is good enough already. No new track or stations needed.

Maryland needs to adopt this attitude of modernization to deliver better service. A new Bronze line metro could use MARC Penn line infrastructure and deliver metro-level service between DC and Baltimore buildthebronze.org

MARC should be jumping to get in on this for the Penn line

Baltimore miles ahead of DC on this

Interesting model for the Camden line which terminates at a light rail station already

Testing underway for the next-generation streetcar
