Up the Green!

One of the myths of car ownership is that users fully pay for infrastructure costs. It’s only partially true, and in DC, it is not particularly true. Especially with the gas tax on the decline, it’s time to consider other options to sustainably fund the costs of building and maintaining our roads.

I’m new to this—can we get FIFA to suspend Belgium’s 4 goals?

If you lost your trust in FIFA in the last few days, rather than when they awarded the last World Cup to Qatar or when they awarded Trump with a grotesque peace prize, or when they decided to hike ticket prices to obscene levels….welcome to reality.

Trump take red card

I mean…this says it all, doesn’t it? I honestly cannot tell you who this man wants to be (apart from Mayor?) or what direction he wants to take the city.

Are they all to himself?

Plans to “pedestrianize” 8th street by using the sidewalk as free parking are clearly coming along!

IMHO all of 4th street NE between T street and Michigan should be converted to curbside protected bike lanes, but this is a great down payment (along with a bunch of other sensible improvements for all users in this corner of Edgewood).

Has everyone who voted for this reckless moron had enough yet?

Turns out huge permitting delays at the hands of NPS—something we’re all familiar with in DC—played a big role in the potomac interceptor failure. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

About damn time.

Grateful for this single planter on the R street entrance to the MBT. Still dreaming of a DDOT that can take simple steps to protect residents without requiring 3 years of advocacy.

Pleasantly surprised that the court did the right thing. This was not a close call on the law, and Trump has wielded this power in exceptionally corrupt ways.

They must have been looking for the MBT.

Hi—future here. You were right!
