@FixCircle@jg_bollard It’s was totally unnecessary to include ovals. I think the I’d was to 1) complicate the intersection and 2) carve out space for monuments, as a recollect.
@urbanbushwoman9 While I’m not on the service delivery side, a lot of the difficulty revolves around grant recipient eligibility and documentation. The article does a good job of pointing this out. At $25 million a year the 10% lapse rate or $2.5 million a year isn’t great but it’s not uncommon.
@maustermuhle@kenyanmcduffie I don’t have an issue with a new football stadium for the District, or if it requires a “reasonable” amount of District funding to build it. What bothers me is if it includes ten thousand parking spaces and doesn’t provide enhancements to transportation, housing or retail.
Alleged leaker Jack Teixeira foresaw a violent struggle against Blacks, political liberals, Jews, and gay and transgender people, who would make life intolerable for people like him. A sweeping new profile by @samueloakford@chrisd9r & @shaneharris: https://t.co/2itQ7iQ68H
Nice opinion from @cherylcort and @betterDCregion on how the District should avoid the car centric approaches to revitalizing the city’s core. We need a more imaginative approach: more people and more things for people to do downtown, not more accommodations for cars.
Proposals to revitalize downtown D.C. that favor more commuter cars moving in and out would take us in the wrong direction, writes Stewart Schwartz and Cheryl Cort. https://t.co/hGsZk7qAfQ
@MetBranchTrail @Nick4Ward5 Looking at the capital budget, we should redefine what makes a street. DDOT has a $3.5 billion 6-year budget. Money was never the issue, it was political will and a vision.
@MetBranchTrail @Nick4Ward5 I’m not ignorant of the history of this section of the MBT, been involved for over a decade. As I mentioned, I’m not opposed to protected lanes on 8th. The vision on the table is limited. I’m not blaming, just noting that the option on the table is a stopgap.
@MetBranchTrail @Nick4Ward5 Better Wayfinding signs should help. I’m not against a protected lane but I’d rather also have a more inclusive street the also supports pedestrian needs.
@AlisonHornDC As a resident, I’m totally cool with cleaning this type of infrastructure, especially on my block. I don’t expect the District to do this as I see it as an amenity.
@ByERussell That’s a lot of parkland to care for with no additional resources. I’d like a slightly different approach like NPS contracts out most park maintenance and programming to the District. Rock Creek may benefit a little more from a conservancy approach.
@Nick4Ward5 @MetBranchTrail I don’t mind not having a protected lane on 8th. I would like a street that adds a traffic calming that directs and reduce vehicle speeds
