Now that the news is out that @DCist is dead and 15 great people will lose their jobs, some truths. No one at @DCist/@wamu885 was ignorant of the tough realities of media. But this is more a failure of leadership than anything.
OUTDOOR DINING TAKES UP LESS THAN .5% OF STREET PARKING IN NEW YORK CITY. PUBLIC SPACE IS FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CARS.
Banff Pedestrian Zone. Allows buses ONLY and has automatic gates at the entrances. Perhaps a vision for Adams Morgan? Also look at this bike valet 😍
Exclusive: Another woman has come forward with accusations of sexual harassment against John Falcicchio. She claims he exposed himself and asked for sex after inviting her over to his condo. She’s the first person outside the DC government to accuse him: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/611462…
Can someone explain what is happening lately with the airline industry experiencing so many mechanical issues with their planes?? Like are planes aging out? Are they not being serviced as much? Why have ALL of my recent flights been delayed for mechanical issues?? @USDOT
🥳 ATTN #ClevelandPark: Welcome to a new era... one where our Main Street is going to be thriving with pedestrians, restaurant patios and farmers market, and artist pop-ups. @ANC3C promises made, promises kept.
In a draft federal spending bill, House Republicans are proposing a whole slate of new and old restrictions on D.C. The ban on legalizing marijuana sales would remain, the city's assisted suicide law would be repealed, traffic cameras would be banned, right turns on red allowed.
Getting to @Dulles_Airport from DC can be a bitch, but DAMN do they have their security process on lock and friendly staff. Door to door in 20 mins and no one yells at you. DCA could never.
Idk about anyone else, but this week has the most people riding the metro I’ve seen since COVID.
#OpenStreetsDC Transformation. 12th Street With Cars. Set-Up. Open for People. Which looks more vibrant?
Rode the work e-bike to the Downtown press conference today. Was the perfect ride in beautiful weather made easy by Pennsylvania’s protected bike lane 💚🚴🏽♀️
Good news: @wmata ridership feels back to pre-COVID commute levels. Trains are packed, woo! Bad news: people really be shamelessly sitting on the outer seat of two-seat benches and not sharing even when there’s clearly many people standing. 6’ spacing rules are gone y’all 🙄

(he/him)Because housing costs are still so high and some of our regional partners are frankly not building enough, DC doesn’t get enough credit for expanding housing supply over the last couple of decades.
Using Zillow's measure, DC is getting pretty cheap these days. (Or the rest of the country has gone haywire)
And that’s a wrap on a whirlwind 3 weeks in northern Italy and Switzerland spanning 16 incredible cities! I also got a full taste of public transport with 28 trains, 18 train stations, 2 ferries, 2 trolleybuses, 2 cable cars, a metro and a funicular. Now for the long flight home!
I took this pic on my easy 35 minute, low stress bike ride thanks to @DDOTDC from east side of Cap Hill to heart of Adams Morgan honestly b/c I wasn’t sure if Falafel Bros coming to next to Shakers near 9th and V NW is news, but I like this pic
it’s wild that coastal cities have spent years debating if YIMBY policies will lower rents, and Austin just… did it they streamlined permitting, upzoned most of the city, and eliminated parking mandates. Tons of housing is going up and rents are plummeting. YIMBY policies work
western mass is when queer bus drivers
The fact that I have to deal with this shit, at the Kennedy Center of all places… this is not community……
Omg @ihatejoelkim was SRSLY beefing with a heckler during his DC show 😳😳
I've worked for @dcpl for 8 years and 6 months. When people ask me why I work for public libraries and don't work for the Library of Congress or wherever, I tell them this story. I still talk to this guy from time to time. He spent most of his life in jail.
My mom, fighting injustice, one piece of junk mail at a time!
It’s Sunday afternoon and Bern, a city with only 133,000 people, has 29 trains leaving just in the next *30 minutes.*
Build more bike lanes! There are more people biking on Pennsylvania Av than driving on it
You guys. I think D.C. might be America’s best city???
The videos of the Red Bull Racing on Pennsylvania Ave event are wild. DC gov’t required snow plows for Open Streets event and here were tens of thousands of people feet from an F1 car speeding down Penn Ave with low water barriers and barricades. Wild!
If you need a sign telling people its a bike rack, its not a good bike rack
@dkrucoff “My friends from Maryland who love speeding through DC streets bought me drinks.”
@dkrucoff Mind as well put up the pictures of bicyclists who have died and celebrate. So incredibly callous.
@dkrucoff And why are you cheering? Cycling safety should be equally as important as walking. It isn't in DC. Bike share continues to grow exponentially. Where is the safe infrastructure to accomidate that?
Rock Creek Park was staggeringly beautiful this morning. Spring is here, and it is showing off. So lucky to have these miles and miles of trails right here in DC.
Anti-statehood Republican who wants DC to retrocede into MD celebrates @MayorBowser's undemocratic and unilateral decision. Makes perfect sense since they both only care about @MD_Driver_in_DC and not about the people who actually live in DC!
Enjoying a victory celebration at Chevy Chase Lounge with friends with whom I worked to stop the misconceived Connecticut Avenue bike lanes.
This morning was such a wonderful example of how great it is to have an array of transportation options, even for those who drive. I took our car to the Honda dealer which is 10 miles away in Arlington.
My friends and I rely on the X2 and 70s buses to get to and from Capital One Arena. Thank you @charlesallen
