Yes yes yes thank you @Janeese4DC! @ANC1A unanimously approved a resolution calling on the Mayor to appoint a Rat Czar to coordinate rodent efforts across agencies & city! We also called for more trash containerization. #ColumbiaHeightsDC has a huge rat problem & we need help!
I heard y’all loud and clear: We’ve got to do something about the rats! My team and I are preparing to tackle this problem head-on, because we deserve safe and clean streets.

Our ANC passed a resolution in support of CM Allen’s AV bill because DC has tried and failed to reduce traffic fatalities. The Mayor-Elect says DC needs to prioritize safety but this is cutting one potential avenue to do that away. I’m just so bummed by this
DC is facing a jobs crisis. Rushing the legalization of autonomous vehicles is irresponsible given the anticipated AI-related job displacement and disruptions that put countless workers at risk.

One of @CityCast_DC new hot restaurants opening is right here in #ColumbiaHeightsDC - Major Yum! A “Mostly Asian” counter-service w menu inspired by Chinese & Korean dishes, such as Chung’s Chicken, a mash-up of General Tso’s chicken & Korean fried chicken. Cannot wait to try!

Exactly. Council cannot keep kicking the can down the road until autonomous vehicles never see the light of day in DC. San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Austin already offer Waymo rides. I hope the rest of Council weighs the safety evidence and the cost of withholding those benefits from residents. It’s time to pass the legislation.
Replying to @maustermuhle
UPDATE: Allen tells me he still plans on moving the Waymo bill forward. "Part of what we have built in is the strongest worker protections in any bill you have seen around the country," he tells me.

I think this is the wrong call. As the nation’s capital, we shouldn’t block innovation like Waymo. We need to keep pace w other cities/states innovating while creating regs/policies that protect workers, create jobs, & upskill people. Why can’t we have both?
DC is facing a jobs crisis. Rushing the legalization of autonomous vehicles is irresponsible given the anticipated AI-related job displacement and disruptions that put countless workers at risk.

Gotta give credit where it's due: America.gov is a great new product. It uses an AI chatbot to make the federal gov easier to navigate. Cities like DC need this kind of single "front door" for neighbors & biz owners dealing with services spread across agencies.

What a pleasure to work in partnership with colleagues in @ANC1B to fight for place management entities for BOTH our neighborhoods. They may take diff forms, but they strive towards similar goals.
Yesterday I testified in Council on the importance of place-management entities, supporting both a BID for the U Street corridor (finally!) and a Neighborhood Management Authority for Columbia Heights... which should be the beating heart of the District's Latino community.

1/2 Today’s my birthday 🥳🎂! My wish is for a cleaner, safer & more vibrant #ColumbiaHeightsDC + the creation of a Neighborhood Management Authority to help make it happen. That’s why I’ll be testifying in support at Thursday’s 9/24 DC Council hearing chaired by @charlesallen
