@DDOTDC tell us why young elementary school children cross South Dakota Ave where crosswalks are missing and 85% of drivers exceed 50 miles per hour on a 25 mile road and no viable safety plan per Kershbaum’s testimony.

Santa stopped by our World Headquarters in Cleveland, OH, to pick up some gifts for all the good little welders out there—and he did a little welding himself!

@FeverPotomac @FeverPotomac how do we keep this in the news? This is shameful.

[Friends of South Dakota Avenue NE @fosdaneDC]

@wmata @jennyhunterdc This is dysfunctional for first week of school. it is not appropriate for a bus driver to use condescending language at 11 and 12 year old children which this driver did when he asked them to get off at the wrong stop and walk home and ‘get used to it’ when they asked for help.

@darcyspencer more to the story reported yesterday! SDA is a school route, and it does not have its own bus line. Our seniors are constantly in danger. This is about safety vs fear and complacency!

@Lance_in_DC @_MatthewThomas @DDOTDC @CMZParker5 90% come from the 20018/20017 zip code so yes that’s as local as you get.

@ena29461140121 @sarawhodraws @CMZParker5 Your petition says ‘oppose bike lanes’ and ours says ‘Make South Dakota Ave NE safer for all users.’ Your petition is delegitimized by your own exclusion of the needs of people who are asking to be included in road design. And you want to deny them that.

Narrow sidewalks and lack of bus infrastructure puts ours seniors at risk everyday on South Dakota Ave. We saw him get almost run down by speeding vehicles as he rode on the street, with no options available except to risk his life in this way.

These new safety tools are reducing crashes and saving lives. People are starting to remember that saving 1 minute of time isn’t worth the potential harm. Needs to be fair, but we MUST improve safety ASAP. #SafeStreets #VisionZero @SafeStreetsDC @SafeSidewalksDC @Fam4SafeStreets

[Friends of South Dakota Avenue NE @fosdaneDC]

Drivers coming through DC should recognize (that unlike the suburbs) you’re driving through neighborhoods. People live on the streets you drive on, which is why we absolutely want you to follow the rules of driving you are supposed to! @KishanForDC https://t.co/jdrHRta27b

@LandlrdoDFedral @MayorBowser @DDOTDC There is one side opposed to the rights of the biking families, so let’s be clear. There are no two sides. There’s common sense road safety and inclusive road design and there’s people who want to deprive a whole biking community of their safety needs.

[Friends of South Dakota Avenue NE @fosdaneDC]

Tell us @MayorBowser why your chief of staff Joseph and @DDOTDC director Kershbaum are meeting with anti-bike special interest groups?

[Friends of South Dakota Avenue NE @fosdaneDC]

@DcSafer @MayorBowser @DDOTDC Agreed, it’s all smoke and mirrors.
