Earlier today a driver killed a person crossing the street in downtown DC. Based on the wreckage, high speed was almost certainly involved.
The crash happens the same day Trump's Department of Transportation has begun an attempt to abolish speed cameras in DC.

Imagine if everything in 🟥 was a protected bike lane...
Biking on the Hill would be accessible for all ages and abilities!
This can be our reality if we fight for it. DDOT is taking comments on their strategic bike lane through 12/31.

Malcolm X Park finally has its own dedicated bikeshare station! After a year of advocacy as an ANC Commissioner, I was thrilled to watch with neighbors as the hardworking folks at @bikeshare.bsky.social installed a new station at 15th and Chapin.

It was a beautiful day to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Branch Trail from Fort Totten to Takoma!
The Metropolitan Branch Trail is more than just a bike path -- it connects us to each other, to schools and work and recreation, and to a vibrant alternative to sitting in traffic.
