Watch: This Arlington County crash yesterday is a good illustration of why a traffic signal changing is usually the most dangerous time to enter an intersection. It appears one driver jumped the signal on Langston (Rt. 29), while the other driver came through on the yellow. The light changed to red for Fairfax at the moment of impact. A third vehicle was struck. No serious injuries. SafetyVid.org video. @ARLnowDOTcom @matthewyoung31 @CordellTraffic #crash #safety #collision

Exciting news from @DMPEDDC & @MayorBowser! This new program builds on efforts like our Pop-Up Permits initiative to reimagine DC's built environment as part of the #DCComebackPlan. Transforming vacant spaces into vibrant hubs is key to the city's revival & growth. 🌟
Today, @MayorBowser launched the District’s new Office to Anything program, which will help transform vacant and underutilized office space into new, productive uses, including hotel, entertainment, retail, and other non-residential purposes.
