Neurologist and neuroscientist specializing in CNS tumors. But my interests here are mostly non-professional as a layperson agitator for common sense and equitable urban development, safe streets for bicyclists and pedestrians, and climate action/justice. Also I love soccer and books, so those will get some love

#DC has been very actively adding protected #BicycleLanes to better protect #Cyclists, although arguably not enough or fast enough. Nonetheless, a worthwhile point about accommodating #ADA individuals with disabilities that require curbside driving access brings up an important point about not just safety for non-motor vehicles but how to improve access for all https://dcist.com/story/22/11/23/disability-groups-file-federal-lawsuit-against-d-c-over-protected-bike-lanes/

Why city planning needs diverse perspectives.

Touring possible commuter cycling routes.

What I saw - Smooth pavement. Separate from traffic. Shade. Not too busy. Perfect.

What my female partner saw - Blind corners. No lighting. No escape routes. Too few users. Wouldn’t use this route.

Happy #Caturday to all. Like his personality, Omen splits his times in the light and the dark. Though as an aging cat, he mostly just sleeps and demands scritches
