Urbanist. Spaces for people. Biking, walking, public transit. Building bike parking in the DC region.
Great write-up on the Commanders stadium deal. Is bringing the Commanders back with this deal really a win for DC? Is this the best we can do to redevelop the RFK grounds?
With Josh Harris getting free land, paying $1/year rent, and keeping all revenues, it adds up to ... I dunno, $2.5B in public subsidies? $3B? It would surely be the most taxpayer money poured into one stadium in the history of the U.S. if not the universe. fieldofschemes.com/2025/04/30/226…
The Lotus & Water Lily Festival was packed this weekend. Love how easy it is to bike there via the Anacostia Trail. And I wasn’t the only one who biked there, either.
🚲 Love CaBi? One of the coolest jobs in transportation just opened up—manage CaBi for Arlington County! #BikeDC metrobike.net/wp-content/upl…
The one at Eastern Market looks to be open. Hope this means the rest are available as well again. These are a basic necessity
Did you notice the Throne public bathrooms (in Columbia Heights, DuPont, Oxon Run and a few other neighborhoods) suddenly closed a few days ago? Bowser admin says the funds were temporarily frozen but they’ll be back open soon. Statement from the City Administrator:
Just spotted Veo’s new cargo e-bike. This could be a game changer for carrying items and getting around the city without a car #bikedc @PoPville
Great Open Streets event in Capitol Hill today! Huge @HillFamilyBikin turnout! Let’s create more permanent open streets and pedestrian-only areas, please @charlesallen @DDOTDC
The House is voting to tighten control over DC—on an issue impacting just 388 people, including me—while ignoring a $1B budget crisis they created. This is what Republican overreach and warped priorities look like. #NoToHR884 #DCStatehood @EleanorNorton @MaxwellFrostFL
Tomorrow @GOPoversight will consider HR 884, a bill that would remove the right for noncitizens to participate in local elections. In 2024, 388 noncitizens voted —just 0.1% of DC voters. Is this really a priority for Congress? @RepJamesComer @EleanorNorton #DCStatehood #NoToHR884
Do you walk or bike to Metro? Take our quick survey! #bikeDC wmata.questionpro.com/a/TakeSurvey?t…
Great walkshops at @NACTO! Got a close look at the @ride_circuit electric shuttles and the @BunchBikes cargo e-bike library from the @SWBID and @DCMID_SW. Also got insights into @DDOTDC’s parking and traffic strategy at Audi Field & Nats Park. #NACTO2025 #DesigningCities

Can these tree branches be trimmed along this stretch on First St SE between N St and M St? Bicyclists have to duck to get through. @DDOTDC @311DCgov @CapitolRvrFront thank you
This past Saturday afternoon. The demand for bike parking is clear. There just isn’t enough of it. What can be done to get more bike parking installed here? @USBotanicGarden @uscapitol @theHillisHome @DDOTDC #bikedc
More bike racks (standard u-racks not wave racks) are needed at the @USBotanicGarden to keep up with the growing demand. @uscapitol #bikedc
