Let’s be clear about the impact of this DOT memo: Pedestrians and cyclists are going to die. usa.streetsblog.org/2025/03/12/b...

Will a recording of the meeting be posted online?

I'd really like them to take a look at the intersection of Scott and Langston. It's an important connection point from the trail to neighborhoods. Specifically, making it easier on a bike to go south from the trail into Rosslyn.

TODAY: Open house at Central Library 4-7pm on shaping "Arlington's Transportation Plan." It'll guide the County for coming decades. Climb aboard. www.arlingtonva.us/Government/P...

Celebrating Women in Construction Week! Women in construction play vital roles here at Metro, and there are many opportunities in the field. We’re proud of the incredible women who help us keep this region moving.

We went through this with zoning, and now we're going through it with building code: trillion dollar industries depend on these things, yet a bunch of precocious bloggers can swoop in and expose these institutions as full of pseudoscience. Does nobody do their job? @aarmlovi.bsky.social

Hard to predict where this is all headed but I don’t think you can build a successful presidency and political movement based on taking everything away from everyone as quickly as possible.

Exciting neighborhood news–more food waste drop-off boxes were added today, including one at 13th & Pennsylvania Ave SE.

A protected bike lane on Clarendon Blvd treated with brine

Happy to see @arlingtondes.bsky.social pre-treating our protected bike lanes

Screenshots from the Game Changer episode "Second Place" where Brennan Lee Mulligan is saying "we're here celebrating what I can only describe as the sickness at the core of America".

happy presidents day

Schoolhouse Rock is going to have to remake its cartoon on how a bill becomes a law.

75% of Americans support a new rule requiring vehicle front-end designs to reduce head injuries in crashes—even if it changes the look of large trucks & SUVs.

Among those who drive these trucks & SUVs? 63% still support it. Check out the survey results: advocacy.consumerreports.org/wp-content/u...

Bonus points if you've spotted the absolute mountain in the bike lane outside the Rosslyn fire station

I get the feeling Arlington's residents will be waiting weeks for this to melt

The brand new section of Elon's carhole, the Vegas Loop Westgate Station tunnel, just opened but I don't understand why there are a bunch underground intersections with of traffic lights. How is this the future of transport when...

We did it!

Brand new Acela trainsets sitting in the Philadelphia train yard waiting to start service

One day...

Silver bike parked in front of a sign post. The signs say “Do not enter except bikes” and have clearly been run over by a driver of a car in the past.

When you move around primarily or exclusively by car, you may not see the evidence of car crashes around you:

bent sign posts
broken car pieces
broken windshield glass
tire marks, etc.

For those who travel by 🚶🏻, 🚲 & 🚌 these reminders are everywhere on sidewalks & streets.

@bambulabglobal.bsky.social why are you breaking compatibility with third party tools with your latest firmware update? Why do you think you should only profit from the work of the community and then lock them out once you've established market share? Regretting my A1 purchase.

The people wanting to invade Greenland say it's too cold to go outside for the inaugural.

Austin TX has approved much more housing per-capita than the DC area (Austin TX MSA is 2.4M vs DC's is 6.3M)

I wonder if the cost of adding flex posts in the first place is less than the cost of having to send a crew out there again to fix these

Of course now that the snow has melted, the cars are back in their natural habitat of illegally blocking the bike lane. Been like this for a couple days on Clarendon Blvd

@arlingtondes.bsky.social the PBLs on Wilson (and in other spots nearby) were damaged by plows and will need repaired once the snow melts

@arl-infra.bsky.social

I use a lot of these, thank you for doing this
