Huh. Is there a reason a fence doesn’t work there? If pigs were wandering into a road, both the owner and the city would want to eliminate that conflict

Why is the trail closed?

We have a portion of a trail that closes for no reasonable purpose at like 5pm. We've been fighting to keep it open--lanes of car traffic don't just close unless it goes through private property. Why should bike trails?

Don't like that a stadium is listed first of the possible uses of the site, but like that it's not a required use. Also very very much do not like the changes to the parking language: "(D) The District shall, to the extent necessary, ensure that parking facilities are provided to accommodate the development."

i... i'm not circlejerking over anything. the same thing happened in my city to the ghost bike of a good good man. this shit is very sad and extremely sucks.

look i'm sorry that Canadian Cycling Magazine doesn't meet your journalistic standards or whatever, but "this is clickbait" is a very weird reaction to this article. sometimes the tweet is all the information there is and publishing it elsewhere helps inform people who are not on twitter--of whom i am one, and was one back in december, 2022 when the op's article was published.

at this point, i think you're actually mad about something else. i don't know what that is, but a normal reaction to someone taking the time to answer you questions about veracity is, "oh, thanks" and not... whatever this is.

(ps: it's interesting to me that you called BLU "a guy." it feels kind of like calling the ACLU "a guy.")

it appears the wind also carefully scattered car debris around the stump of the lamp post in the second photo contained in that tweet. i guess it was covering its tracks, trying to throw us off its scent.

but if u, like, need SUPER EVIDENCE PROOF to believe that, uh, cars are dangerous and run into things in the same place all the goddam time, here you go

Oh nooooo. One of my exes got his dog from the HRA on NYA. I guess the place has gone downhill since then 😔 Poor animals don't deserve that

"The commission just announced a process to finalize the vision for Pennsylvania Avenue by the end of 2026."

I absolutely hate how slow infrastructure projects move in this city. Three years for design? Ugh. Pleasantly surprised about the interactive poll results though, with a resounding majority in favor of reducing car lanes in some form.

DC Statehood now. Either that, or let my participate in every single House and Senate election.

If you're still on Twitter, you contributed too.

 

Pickup apparently ran into the Potomac this evening. Gotta make sure that we keep scooters limited to ten miles per hour, though, otherwise this would have been a lot worse
