@therealsantino This video looks like AI

@Bill430719 @PoPville Drivers aren’t computerized. Maybe we should have grammar and spelling monitors and hand out citations for that too?

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@MotoristRights It’s about bikers and drivers being courteous and safe. Laws can be helpful but the former is what counts.

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@UrbanTurf_DC DC speed limits are so low that they are minimums for cars, better as limits for bicycles. You basically have to drive in idle with one foot on the brake. It’s a massive money making scheme using safety as an excuse way beyond reasonable.

@broadcastben_ Don’t love this mayor, especially her policies

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@ZZZZach89 We’ve been paying a bag tax for years to clean up the Anacostia river. It doesn’t seem like they’ve been doing anything with that money?

@JAlves6 @WABADC I’m a city biker who also commutes to work in a car. Isn’t the problem that there’s no space on CT Ave without eliminating 1 of the lanes of one of the central arteries for commuters and drivers?

@rmc031 Love it

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@PhysInHistory Really cool!

@GeographerDC @archi_tradition Early winter in beautiful DC (a few months ago)

@mattiewilsondc @capitalweather Great shot… beautiful

@TramFanAccount @DCStreetcar @DDOTDC @MayorBowser The street car while charming, is a giant waste of city funds. A free bus would accomplish the same thing at a fraction of the cost and eliminate tracks in the street which are a danger to bikers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@BarredinDC @DDOTDC Bus lanes are highly inefficient as the remain empty 99% of the time while they double the traffic where there is already the most congestion. Not a rational policy.

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@SafeSidewalksDC @MayorBowser I’d love a solution for both residents and drivers. I’m a 20 year DC resident, walker and biker too. I also drive to work through the city and with the 20mph speed limit, bus lanes, and light system designed to stop traffic every 1-2 blocks, it affects working lives too.

@BarredinDC Fortunately Aptos looks pretty good

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@ggwash Why are the bikes still so big, bulky, and heavy? (regular and e-bikes both)

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@SamAntar Check out the taxpayer paid, high fee, express lanes for the wealthy on VA 66 west of 495. Empty while the taxpayer’s no fee smaller lanes with a lower speed limit suffer almost always congestion and backups.

[Pol Klein @peacepol]

@MotoristRights That’s not a fair comparison because only cars and bicycles can start at home and end at the exact destination. And because the weather isn’t great everywhere and not all people can ride bikes or go grocery shopping on a bike, that leaves cars as a central part of the solution.

@ZachBIsrael It would be good to have a dramatic increase in residential units, first floor retail, and more parking, including free parking for residents.
