This was obvious: they just gave up.
When I moved to DC in 2003, then-mayor Williams knew DDOT and DPW weren't up to the task, so he contracted NJDOT to come into town to finish the job.
Took the NJ crew less than 48 hours to clean the rest of the mess.
#ZeroVisionDC
DDOT Director Sharon Kershbaum admits in today's council hearing: "We did decide to pull the plug" on clearing cycletracks. Just incredible stuff. @DDOTDC is done clearing them and they're "resigned to the fact" that "we did what we could." Meanwhile...
The @councilofdc abdicated their oversight of the Mayor today - yes, this *is* a shared governance thing, y'all - in confirming a Director who is thoroughly unqualified for such a position. She's shown zero acumen for the job thus far and this won't change. #ZeroVisionDC
Congratulations to Sharon Kershbaum on her confirmation as the 11th Director of the District Department of Transportation (DDOT)! π We look forward to her vision for improving mobility and enhancing the quality of life for all District residents.
This shows that @MayorBowser never intended to follow through with Vision Zero - just like with most aspects of her mayoral tenure. She owns #ZeroVisionDC to the detriment of all who live, work, and visit here.
Alexandria: no traffic deaths in the last year
DC: traffic deaths doubled since starting "Vision Zero"
@jonsteingart She's certainly shown that the #ZeroVisionDC movement is something she owns. And she definitely DGAF about actual safety on our streets, just performative platitudes.
Proof positive that @MayorBowser and Acting @DDOTDC Director Kershbaum have ZERO INTEREST in actual safety on our streets. Asking nicely hasn't worked over time, traffic violence has increased, and @DCPoliceTraffic @DCPoliceUnion have abdicated all enforcement duty. #ZeroVisionDC
kind of unbelievable lol
Feet first: Studies show that urban customers tend to arrive by foot more than car, but shopkeepers systematically overestimate car use. As the Columbia Road bus priority project kicks off, one analyst conducted a local survey: https://t.co/XnIyMIuL7j
This is in stark contrast to DC:
1. @WeMoveDC and #VisionZero basically tossed out in favor of "more studies."
2. Inclusive street designs canceled.
2. Pedestrians told "good luck!" as traffic calming measures prove unpopular with influential political funders.
#ZeroVisionDC
So the government is not working for the citizens it is oath-sworn to serve. They're more worried about transient commuters who don't actually live in the District. Shame on @DDOTDC's Director and @MayorBowser for kowtowing to moneyed interests over the people. #ZeroVisionDC
Well, here you go folks, from a recent FOIA drop. @DDOTDC and the not parody @DDOTDCDirector is ignoring design engineers about safety for building projects that enrich neighborhoods to instead shill to a bunch of K st lawyers.
10 miles of bike lanes per year is a 2010-era benchmark, Ms. Kershbaum. We really need to aim for 20-25 miles of new, protected, *connected* bike/micromobility lanes per year. #WeDontHaveTime to slow-roll anymore. #ZeroVisionDC @MayorBowser @charlesallen @CMFrumin
Ahh: the fake arguments, not backed by data, from the so-called "DC Safe Streets Coalition." Do not listen to these people - they literally know nothing. #ZeroVisionDC #KershbaumRoundtable
Note that last point on CM Allen's (literally) pointed list. Bicycle and bus use are UP, but @MayorBowser and her puppet Acting Director of @DDOTDC are telling both groups to pound sand. What a disservice they're doing to the people of DC. #ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC #busDC #DCPOL
This week:
π record-breaking CaBi bike rides
π record-breaking MetroBus rides
π road design abandoning bus & bike
Demand continues to explode to get around our great city. We should be building the future of our cityβs roadways to support transit & travel more than one way.
Honestly, the amount of UNsafe infra being spoken of at this sham of a briefing make my head spin and my fingers ache. @MayorBowser and AD Kershbaum have no vision of safety, no eye on the world other than behind a steering wheel (or the back seat of a gov't car). #ZeroVisionDC
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser @dcfireems Well, they pulled the plug on the WexEx 22 minutes early, asking folks to email them at connave.multimodal[at]dc[dot]gov - so have at it, folks! Let them know that their non-answers and evasion won't stand. #ZeroVisionDC #ConnAveProject #bikeDC #walkDC
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser "You'll see where we land," says AD Kershbaum. Where we land without protected infra on Connecticut Ave is directing people on bikes AWAY from businesses and commerce. That's silly. #ZeroVisionDC #ConnAveProject #bikeDC
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser Hey DDOT: if you want to continue to tout being a "world-class city for bicycles," it's best to copy the actions of Saddik Khan or Anne Hidalgo. Both have vision that includes all road users, not just people in cars. They're world-class. This? No. #ConnAveProject #ZeroVisionDC
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser When asked point blank how to handle increased numbers of people on bikes, both Ms. Marks and Mr. Alvino of DDOT give complete non-answers on how safety of people riding bikes on Connecticut Ave will be addressed. Cowards. #ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC #walkDC #ConnAveProject
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser So there is a full traffic study - but we need MORE studies because... why, exactly? #ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC #walkDC #ConnAveProject
@CMFrumin @DDOTDC @MayorBowser Holy hell: the DDOT explanation of possible modifications if Conn Ave doesn't get bike/micromobility infra is like trying throwing Band-Aids on known festering wounds. That's NOT safe design, DDOT! That's politics - and politics won't save lives! #ZeroVisionDC #ConnAveProject
@DDOTDC @MayorBowser A "late 2025 to early 2026" timeframe for the safety study? Yup - many more people will die in the interim while a highly-paid consultant finds out exactly the same data as previous studies found. Sigh. At least CM Frumin is getting numbers...? #ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC #walkDC
@DDOTDC What I want to know is: which major funders of @MayorBowser's first two campaigns live along the Connecticut Ave corridor and are calling in favors now? Because this reversal is trash - nothing more, nothing less. #ZeroVisionDC #bikeDC #walkDC #ConnAveProject
