IMGophGood luck getting across the street, old man. The young strapping people delivering stuff need the space. #walkDC
JM LaSalle#BikeDC #WalkDC does anyone know the right 311 category for construction blocking a bike lane and sidewalk with no safe accommodation? Florida Ave NE at 3rd St is blocked eastbound.

I could take a million pictures, but the pedestrian environment inside the Washington Hospital Center/VA/Children’s campus is awful. This should all be sued into oblivion. #walkDC
Is that Nick Delledonne in the third photo of the South Dakota Avenue safety walk?? https://twitter.com/CMZParker5/status/1656693093469499400 #bikeDC #walkDC

“Thank you to @ddotdc Director Lott, Ward 5 Liason Dalando Baker, and Traffic Safety Engineer Sahar Nabaee for joining us & listening to residents’ concerns. And thank you to the many ANCs and @fosdaneDC for serving our communities by centering the voices of those most impacted.”
Keith IveyHow is this image of a highway in the middle of downtown supposed to be appealing? #VisionZeroDC #BikeDC #WalkDC
Imagine, for a half a second, if we cared as much about the condition of sidewalks and bike lanes as we do about the upkeep of rails. #bikeDC #walkDC #VisionZero https://twitter.com/wmata/status/1628098944063373312
not that ready2022 transit stats in review:
Walking accounted for about 40% of the time going from A to B but only about 6% of the distance from A to B.
Cycling accounted for 27% of the distance traveled, and 45% of the time.
The one plane trip to California and one train trip to Connecticut account for almost half of all miles traveled. If I exclude those two trips, cycling + walking is 2/3rds of miles traveled and 85% of travel time.
(10 miles I'll be taking metro tonight are excluded 🙂)
Spent some time this weekend giving feedback for the Bladensburg Avenue study (https://engage.dc.gov/BladensburgSafetyStudy). Other #bikedc #walkdc and DMV-area #BikeTooter people should take a look! Either concept look about 100 times better than the status quo
Bladensburg Road, NE Multimodal Safety and Access Study - PublicInput.com
Overview The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is conducting a multimodal (e.g. vehicle bus bicycle and pedestrian) transportation study of Bladensburg Road NE between Benning Road and Eastern Avenue. The study will identify traffic safety and access issues and develop solutions to improve safety and access for all users especially pedestrians and bicyclists. The project will develop two corridor alternatives and evaluation metrics to help the community and DDOT weigh the tradeoffs and select a preferred alternative to take to 30% design. Study Area The study area is approximately 2.5 miles in length and includes all of Bladensburg Road between Benning Road NE and Eastern Avenue NE (the District-Maryland line). Bladensburg Road NE is a six-lane roadway divided by a concrete median and is classified as a minor arterial. Several major streets bisect this corridor creating large complicated intersections including Benning Road 17th Street/Mt.
