Some crazy bike dude. Rolling #BikeDC since mid-70's. This is me- not @BicycleSPACE @TheAssemblyDC @BicyclePASS or other entities... Do good/Have fun/Ride bike!

@VJKapur @311DCgov Attn: @joesmovement- love what you do in our community, but posting to trees is not a good thing!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@311DCgov @dcwater Same is true on S-bound Montana Ave NE just past railroad underpass approaching intersection of NY Ave "circle". Major ponding in heavy rain, esp in right lane. @311DCgov @dcwater

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

Attn @311DCgov storm drain at intersection of Channing & 24th NE is blocked & corner becomes a 1'+ deep lake in heavy rain...

@DCPoliceDept Mount Rainier...! Nice work on both sides of the border, though!

Leadership requires taking risks. Mayor Hidalgo took an extreme political risk by reconfiguring so many roads in Paris' urban core, risking losing re-election. She won easily because the people embraced the change. Is DC's leadership willing to take such risk?

[WABA @WABADC]

Nice! This is the work of thousands of comments submitted, hundreds of testimonies read, and alot of advocacy in general!

And we still got work to do to expand the network!

Hey @wetatvfm- it's Mount "Rainier" not Mt. "Ranier"!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@shawnashleyleis Ahem, Mount "Rainier"😉. Glad you had a great ride & welcome to our friendly 'burb, neighbor!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@HeavySeasBeer Just bought this a few days ago & it's badly skunked (cuz it's almost a year old...). What should I do? Thx & (normally) luv yer suds, Hon!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

Hey @Google, that your recent update to the phone app resulted in blocking both inbound & outbound calls really fubared my day!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@ChuckThies @sharrowsDC @PaulAngelone @kebursaw Lawrence is how I get back & forth every day- flat & low traffic, but probably the filthiest street in the city.

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

This seepage has been going on for a while- not gushing, but constantly wet. 1500 Block of Okie St. NE, South side towards 16th. @311DCgov

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@BicycleSPACE @ebooksyearn @embeeshea @jwetz @greenhatgin @LhasaCM @ECGreenway But then, personally I'm a MichAve vehicular cycling hardcore, so... YMMV.

@kebursaw @ANCCostello @BicycleSPACE @Wash_cycle @DDOTDC Having ridden this route for 3 decades, I can attest to the often careless, dangerous, & aggressive driving by many of those piloting the shuttle busses. Many close calls, some of them deliberate. The road is so poorly engineered & desperately needs a #VisionZero remake too!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@KPW__DC @maustermuhle Cry me a river- let's make this road safe for everyone so people have alternatives to driving. Based on your bio, you should support this type of change as it would support your goals of community/economic development!

[Philip Koopman @PhilKinDC]

@purplepassioned @ezracycle @patbahn @alanhenney Cars weren't here 1st- people were; cars were added later & everything designed for their convenience since (primarily MD commuters BTW). That must to change to make biking & walking safe. And I'd expect drivers to be careful around other people so hope isn't required to survive.

@purplepassioned @S_A_Con10 @alanhenney @MayorBowser @falcicchio @SafeDC @councilofdc @_DCHealth @DDOTDC @DDOTDCDirector @MWCOG @betterDCregion @WeMoveDC @WABADC @ggwash @DCVisionZero @DMOIDC I've been through that intersection on my bike over 15K times over the past 30 years- riding a bike in the City & on MI Ave is nothing new. MI used to be a bike route before the City abandoned it to a car sewer- all people deserve a safe place to move & change is needed now.
