All this administration had to do was... Nothing. And everything would be better than it is now, and better than it will be for a generation while the nation tries to recover.

I am still so mad about this. The Connecticut Ave bike lanes should be open by now

“What doesn’t make sense is to hand car lanes over to cyclists when your real motive is to gum up traffic to discourage people from driving.”
No, the real motive is to ensure that cyclists don’t die on our streets simply based on the type of transportation they utilize!
This is a mostly thoughtful column on bike lanes in D.C. from @mffisher, but I have a few quibbles with some of what he writes. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Marion Barry was last Mayor in 1999. You could have been born in DC after he was Mayor and be 25 today. Most advocates cast off as young transients are firmly middle-aged parents of DC-born kids. These standards don’t add up.

I am a commissioner-elect sans car. Besides walking and @wmata, for the past ~10 years @bikeshare gets me where I need to go (at $95/year!).
My family cannot afford a car and live in DC at the same time. We *love* our car-free life & need safe, affordable options to get around.
News Alert:
@MayorBowser
renames DC the District of Traffic Violence as Vision Zero's Complete Streets design paradigm is abandoned in favor of parked cars and/or quicker through-travel times.

Bad week for America. GREAT week for squirting straight liquor into your face.
All the anti-bike nimbys in Chevy Chase broke out in hives today because hundreds of cyclists were having fun on DMV roads and trails
Lee Mayer, Carol Grunewald, Liz Nagy (@anc34g candidates) all hanging out outside of the community center with Sheryl Barnes of CCV having a minor NIMBY convention and laughing it up. c'mon Chevy Chase, I have faith in you to embrace the rest of the city and change.

Car Brain leads people to risk the lives of others. Even worse, to act like it's no big deal.
Hypocrisy (or maybe Hypo-crazy?) saferconnave.org/f/hypocrisy… via @DcSafer
A simple bike lane resolution request in @anc34g results in carbrain knee-jerk reaction instantly.
