Construction 🚧 up on 15th St "15th St Repaving on/about 4/23"

Things are going great on the headway-managed C53, where two bunched northbound buses are meeting THREE southbound bunched buses

As a single stair building resident for many years this is great news for DC

I do not like to take credit for “wins.” I’m an ~advocate, and decisionmakers who do the things we support are the ultimate movers. That said, it is notable that the D.C. Council voted unanimously for the One Front Door Act today, which would legalize point-access blocks up to six stories here!

Of nerdy urbanist interest: Next week the D.C. Council will cast a first vote on @brianneknadeau.bsky.social's bill to allow for new D.C. buildings up to six stories tall to have only a single stairwell in them, instead of the current two. Proponents say it creates more residential space.

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...

Same problem for the Brunswick line. No faster than metro

@wmata.com what does this mean? The C53 does not stop here (Trinidad & Florida NE)

This is the thinking we need

Just chatting with a lady with her granddaughter who was watching bus after bus go by, too crowded for her stroller. I guess she can just get wrecked, @mayorbowser.dc.gov

@wmata.com can we cut it out with the ‘fare required’ displays? The bus route number is real information we’re trying to read

I read, on my electric train

The Greeks have a world-class museum built and ready to house the Parthenon stones the British stole

New H Street NE study underway with an open house today at Sherwood Rec Center from 1-3 publicinput.com/hstreetstudy

@wmatagm.bsky.social when are we going to see the alternatives from the RFK study? Are H street bus lanes in play? “Concept Design phase is expected to identify alternatives no later than February 15, 2026”

Ideal here: MARC wants to extend to Delaware. SEPTA needs a yard in Delaware so that it doesn't have to deadhead trains from Philly. Buy the same equipment. Build a new shared facility in Delaware that can handle regular maintenance, have an agreement where SEPTA does heavy maintenance in Philly.

They should

VRE crossing icy Potomac. Long bridge construction underway

@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

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

Southern MD Rapid Transit (SMRT) options smrtmaryland.com/images/parti...

@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"

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
