It didn’t, and still doesn’t, have to be this way

Noticed today that @wmata.com has an active Amex offer for using tap to pay!

“Unprotected bike lanes are fine because people can illegally park in them” is insane tbh

When asked what the right price for parking is, this is my answer

🔜

Street parking permits should be minimum 10x the current price. And that would value street space at roughly $.25/SF/mo., which is a bit low IMO.

I think our street space is worth more than the nominal fee we currently charge for it.

Route thru traffic to green and delete red. Everyone hates on ring roads but I think they could be an asset to get freeways out of downtown

This is good

This section of R St NW in DC has been closed to cars for at least 2 years (maybe more like 4 years, not sure) for a DC Water construction project. I don’t think there is much purpose in reopening it.

Another example of this outstanding phenomenon.

This was a new (<1 month) sign in a new median. All the marks indicate the person who took out the sign wasn’t the only one to drive into this thing. Drivers are dangerous to themselves and others and a fiscal liability for our local governments.
