Tonight is Halloween.

Please be especially alert & take extra time to look for kids at intersections, medians & on curbs.

Remember children move in unpredictable ways.

Reduce distractions inside your car & concentrate on the road and your surroundings.

One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.*

“One example is the “Long Bridge” project in Virginia, a $2.3 billion railway expansion that would increase passenger and freight services. The funding pause has left it in limbo, raising concerns among lawmakers and project managers.”

map of the Long Bridge Project will construct a new, two-track railroad bridge next to the existing Long Bridge, creating a four-track corridor. A new bike-pedestrian bridge also will be constructed as part of the mitigation to National Park Service (NPS) parkland and will span the Potomac River and George Washington Memorial Parkway, connecting Long Bridge Park directly to East and West Potomac Parks.
