So to be clear, he thinks that mayor Bowser and DDOT were wrong to rip out the Arizona Ave bike lane, and to cancel the CT Ave bike lane, and he commits to reversing both of these decisions if he becomes mayor?

Update: After Withdrawal Of Bill, Contentious Shaw Bike Lane Project Appears Indefinitely On Hold | DCist Lacking enough votes for passage, the bill's author scrapped it Tuesday, promising a renewed community dialogue.

As someone who's been following DC's mixed progress on bike lanes for about a decade, I can't think of a single time Kenyan McDuffie has been on the right side of the issue. For example, voting in 2020 to continue to stall the 9th Street bike lane dcist.com/story/20/03/...

Is he attending today's forum of the Walk Bus Bike PAC? Janeese Lewis George and Gary Goodweather are both scheduled to be there

anyone else unable to get into their pepco account because it insists on taking you to a broken 2FA signup page?

It could also be that he knows he has nothing to say to a pro-transit crowd. On the @ggwash.org candidate questionnaire he ignored the questions about bike lanes and, bizarrely, just copied and pasted his answers about buses

next they need to make it so that if you get to a dock an it's 100% ebikes, you don't have to pay to ride one

Was it shot on an iphone by any chance? They tend to use a weird video format that doesn't mix well with a lot of other software and things can look washed out.

curious if DPR will ever send me an alert about this! Seems like it should be so easy and yet I suspect it will not happen.

Ranked Choice Voting Singers Please click the link to complete this form.

I am glad they are doing this but the interactive sample ballot you can fill out on their website (vr.dcboe.org/253434754272...) doesn't tell you if your ballot was valid or not! Seems like that should be the whole point of having a sample like this.

god these are always so sad and depressing. any time you see kids forced to wave a flag so they don't get run over by cars, your streets are doing something seriously wrong. A flag like this says "I don't want people to be killed by cars...but I'm not willing to do anything to slow those cars down"

OK, well I have no opinion about this change, but I do suspect it will be less effective than you think. You wrote that the problem comes from car commuters parking in the neighborhood and going to their offices -- aren't they already breaking the 2 hour limit in that case?

Is this basically saying that most streeets have green signs (2 hour parking for visitors unless they have a guest pass) and you want to replace half of the with red signs (no parking for visitors unless they have a guest pass) ?

Wild to me that Christopher Nolan is not only making remake of O Brother Where Art Thou, but he decided to change the setting to ancient greece for some reason?!

But if you say it's AI powered then local governments will trip over themselves trying to get it installed

assume you saw his answer to Q 45 already?

I noticed that in Q. 45, @kenyanmcduffie.bsky.social wrote about bus lanes even though the question was about bike lanes. In fact his answer is word-for-word identical to his answer to #43 (which is about bus lanes). Was that an error on his part? Does he have an answer about bike lanes anywhere?

I think it's time for the Council to consider a second expulsion vote for Councilmember White. I'm sure they were hoping to avoid it with a quick trial but another seven months is too long for him to be on the council when there's extremely credible evidence that he is corrupt.

I don't think you can blame the driver for this -- the Metro tracks weren't even wearing a helmet! After all safety is a shared responsibility

i hope she has time to have some meetings with her counterparts north of the potomac river, who I think need to hear her advice pretty badly

The app of course becomes useless because it will say a station has a certain number of docks free but then none are actually usable. For each trip I took I had to visit multiple stations before I could actually end my ride.

I took @bikeshare.bsky.social yesterday for the first time since the storm and it was a pretty frustrating and difficult experience. Many bikes are impossible to check out and many open docks are too full of ice to dock back into them.

Trayon White Wants to Postpone His Bribery Trial Again Councilmember White is pushing to delay the start of his criminal trial until June after changing attorneys again.

OK so it looks like White IS switching attorneys again. I don't know if it's part of his reason for asking for a delay but this headline and story definitely imply it.

for sure. DC will be using ranked choice voting, starting this year, for nearly every race in both primaries and generals. IL should absolutely follow suit.

and insane that Maryland Democrats are not following suit

Ah ok. I still feel like this is more about trying to delay as long as possible (and keep him on the council as long as possible) so if I were a judge I'd be pretty wary of these requests, but I guess we'll see

Trayon White's federal bribery case pushed back to March 2026, will have new lawyer D.C. Ward 8 councilmember Trayon White will have new representation when he goes to trial for his federal bribery case, 7News has learned.

The trial was already pushed back once (from January to March) for what looks to me like the exact same reason. How many times till it becomes a pattern? wjla.com/news/local/s...
