NoMa report: Roads are plowed. Bikeways kinda ok.

Walking looks like this:

We are a walkable city - why not prioritize walking and transit access?? People in wheelchairs, strollers, walkers, or with little kids are pretty much homebound and it's 100% avoidable. #bikedc #walkdc

Hey people of DC! Y'know how this storm under-performed for snow? Well all of that rain-charged slush and water on the sidewalk is quickly turning into glare ice. PLEASE get out there and shovel+treat it ASAP while it's still pliable! Think about the safety of your neighborhood! Thanks! #walkDC

So incredibly grateful for the team effort from so many new volunteers who have stepped up with this emotionally charged effort to honor people who have died from traffic violence in DC. 💛

Please read and join us at World Day of Remembrance / Walk for Your Life 2024. Details ⤵️

Volunteers posted 300 signs for traffic fatalities dating back to 2015, when Mayor Bowser first adopted Vision Zero by 2024. Posting signs was a powerful reminder of the human cost behind these numbers. Many of these intersections feel just as deadly as ever.

J is absolutely right in this thread! A suit should be brought against the city to force ADA compliance on this street (and a woonerf seems like the easiest possible solution). Our kiddo’s doctors are in the building next door—when it was icy, this was a really scary sidewalk to traverse! #WalkDC

unfortunately couldn't make it to this.

would've loved to ask if @janeese4dc.bsky.social has any proposals or plans to make the new LGBTQ Center in Shaw accessible—I've been trying to point out since its location was first announced that the sidewalks on that street aren't remotely ADA-compliant.

Somewhere up there is @janeese4dc.bsky.social.

She’s hosting a “listening session” at the new LGBTQ Center in Shaw tonight.

This group has zero standing in the community other than being a known squeaky wheel - which means they show up and speak loudly at every possible public meeting, hearing, etc.

So to #bikeDC and #walkDC: we all need to show up to these events as well. But there's more to it than just showing up. 2/

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
Corner of 1st St NW and one of the internal streets next to Washington Hospital Center. There are no painted crosswalks, missing stop signs, none of the lane lines are still there. Total mess.

I don't know about you, but I would certainly walk 13,286 steps and 5.66 miles to get to Capitol Hill bookstore! I did that today. And why not? It's one of my favorite bookstores and the walk has so much to see along the way.

@cmcharlesallen.bsky.social do you have any information about the building at 2nd & K NE that has been under construction for years, with zero progress? The fence has signs up claiming this is "Private Property," but they're blocking public space! This sidewalk hasn't been usable for years. #WalkDC
Picture of a blocked sidewalk due to a stalled residential project. There is a "Private Property - No Tresspassing" sign on the fence, but the fence is actually in public space, blocking the sidewalk for years.

Nice pedestrian refuge you have there. Would be a shame if something should— (a motor vehicle careens through the scene)

#walkdc
A keep-right road sign—with reflective yellow diamond—in a median pedestrian refuge on New York Ave NW in Washington, DC, after having been knocked over into that refuge, almost certainly be a motor vehicle.

Hey #bikedc and #walkdc, fill out this survey about transport in Georgetown: engage.dc.gov/georgetownst...

We need wider sidewalks, bike lanes, and/or bus lanes!

Hot take: Heck, if we get rid of traffic lanes for more private parking, I'd still be happy. (1 lane of gridlock is better than 3)

Years ago, I recall somebody referring to the stretch of Mass Ave from Union Station to Mt Vernon Square as the Mediocre Mile. How it still just sucks in basically all the same ways so many years is beyond frustrating. There are literally major N-S cycletracks at either end… and yet #bikedc #walkdc

I'm realizing how many DC locals probably got out of town to avoid the shitshow being put on by The New World (dis)Order, but in doing so they will return to sidewalks that are downright dangerous. If you have any ice in front of your house get out there and put some salt or sand on it! #walkDC

🎉How's My Driving App (@hmdappio) is 100% back online🎉

Earlier today, we had to disable citation lookups, but @schep_ just fixed the problem.

Set your ⏰ 10 minutes earlier tomorrow and report some dangerous drivers on the way to work!
