Seen in the wild on my bike ride home! University Boulevard Corridor Plan is a plan for more housing options, safer streets and better transportation choices!

Extreme weather events are more common. In Montgomery County we need to plan for and build infrastructure that mitigates extreme heat/flooding AND supports lifestyles that don't speed climate change. Flash flood in Silver Spring. Video: @wtopnews.bsky.social
