I hope that leaders around DC will echo this call for good faith implementation of the will of District voters in next year's budget. Ignoring District voters seeking fairer elections would be an unacceptable stance for our elected officials. /3

Initiative 83 passed with supermajorities across the District, including 68% of Ward 4 voters. It would be inappropriate for our elected officials to hamper implementation of a voter initiative intended to make our elections more open and elected officials more responsive. 2/

Last night our Commission held its last meeting, and I passed my last resolution, calling for the Mayor and DC Council to timely implement Initiative 83. 1/

Speaking of Sherman Circle; last week, I came downstairs to this scene outside my front door, and it's not something I want to see again! I want your input on how you'd like to see safety improved in the Circle: tinyurl.com/ShermanTraffic 1/

Beautiful morning for a community cleanup in Sherman Circle! Thank you to Friends of Sherman Circle for organizing, and for working to advocate for the Circle going forward!

I'm proud of the work we did to push this project forward, and so pleased that DDOT ultimately went ahead. But if every traffic safety improvement takes this level of engagement, Vision Zero will remain out of reach. /2

Here’s what it takes to get speed humps approved on just one block DDOT lacks the tools and leadership to move aggressively to make DC’s streets safe, argue two advocates with local government experience.

For those interested, I co-authored a piece reflecting on this summer's fight for speed bumps near Sherman Circle, and what it says about Vision Zero 1/
