DC friends when we lose the DC streetcar are we going to get more “D20” (aka X2) buses to make up for the loss?
Or maybe some fun protected golf cart lanes to give rides up and down Benning and H?

There was another incident tonight where a Homeland Security agent shot at someone in D.C., the second such shooting in a month. For context, MPD has had five officer-involved shootings in the *entire year* thus far.
