As a coda, the driver's aggressive and dangerous behavior was entirely fruitless. I soon had a bike lane again and I left the driver in the dust - he was stuck in traffic and I was already home.

House Republicans want to stomp on home rule in order to... make it easier for drivers in DC to get away with crimes. We need DC statehood to protect ourselves from the overreach of a body we have no voice in to make our neighborhoods less safe.

DC spends how many thousands of dollars on flex posts, and drivers destroy them in days or weeks. DC should consider following New Jersey's lead and use concrete barriers to protect cyclists. They are more cost effective in the long run than replacing plastic every few months.

I would love for people to be able to live above a library on U St NW here in DC. I'm hopeful that new zoning will allow precisely that at 1617 U St NW, on top of newly renovated police and fire/EMS facilities. We can have it all if we're not afraid to build densely!

The bus/bike lanes on 14th St NW (especially near Columbia Heights metro) are almost constantly blocked by private & commercial vehicles. This blockage delays bus riders and endangers bike riders. I'm glad to see DC & WMATA partnering to fix this.

Parked at a D.C. bus stop? New cameras could lead to a ticket in the mail.

The plan is part of a remake of the Metrobus system that transit leaders hope will speed service as growing traffic levels have slowed bus travel.

Unacceptable that DC's 911 center (run by Mayor Bowser's appointee) has 12min wait times. Unacceptable that the US Attorney's Office (run by unelected federal officer) refuses to charge so many arrests. DC Council passed the right laws. Other parts of govt fail to enforce them.
