Hey @mcdotnow.bsky.social & @mdsha.bsky.social - The concurrent/overlapping left turn off south kind Veirs with westbound University at Wheaton is dangerous and confusing.
And potentially has an easy way to mitigate it.
Can you please just post clear signage about uturn vs right turn right of way?

Hate this so much - @wmata.com & @wmatagm.bsky.social: Please add additional means to get off the choked platform at Farragut North, especially at the southernmost end.

Hey @wmata.com - Can Wheaton talk you out of a sticker on the platform?
Awkward still having to chase car 6.

Shouldn't have to be able to read Braille to get an elevator and not barked at for hitting the emergency button.
At @wmata.com Farragut North, just as bad as either end of platform.
And seriously: Just add stairs there. The escalators are always choked with people. Please!

Glad to be wrong or see a quick update - Saw a RideOn 34 listing.
Still worth calling out which systems are visible on these signs, and documenting that just showing the next two buses at a depot of that size just isn't enough information to help riders make quick, intuitive decisions.

Amazing how often the identical emergency & call buttons are indiscernible from one another at @wmata.com stations.
How does responding to false alarms all day not cost you more than fixing the obvious accessibility issues with a little wayfinding elbow grease?

Serious question @ternbicycles.com & @bikeshopgirl.bsky.social:
How is this a $3000+ bike? Why do Americans buy bikes without a CVT at a premium price point like that?

When is @mdsha.bsky.social going to finally do something about the wildly unsafe Galt & Veirs intersection in Wheaton, MD?
At least one death and three major accidents this month at one intersection.

And then today saw my Jasion EB7 ebike move on to a new family - Time to grab something with an easier to remove battery.

Awesome bike-heavy weekend, with Saturday spent at the grand opening of Rockville Bike Hub at their new location - It's back! (Moved to Twinbrook, super close to Metro & the Rock Creek connector off Veirs.)

Suggestion, @wmata.com & @wmatagm.bsky.social: Please retool some of these to direct riders to the next bus.
Why tell me twice about the trains? And why not offer any relevant info to someone walking off the train?

Hey @ddotdc.bsky.social - Another misaligned ped crossing indicator, this one at the isolated crosswalk between F & G on 17NW, walking away from the White House.
Can't find 311 here, hope you can help.
