@cgoodwoman You and @TheAdvoc8te should chat. Y’all are both black women leading community media organizations with trusted voices…and seem to be constantly dealing with folks who don’t want to pay for what you offer.
@mitifig@BikeDC For a while their were thoughts of capturing water from their troubled stormwater system down there. But I think if you wanted to go 4 stories and millions of dollars deep you’d find a few retrofit bike racks.
@mitifig@BikeDC I can answer the former, but am out of date on the latter. DC and the developer got into a dispute over that parking deck because 1 side knew the 2 bottom floors were a massive waste and the other insisted on them to attract national tenants who wanted a big box footprint
@fedupworkingmom I’m sorry I don’t have the details & don’t want to make the mistake of using personal Twitter as a work account. ;-) But they’re coming along. Construction’s always stop/start on bldgs this old with all the unknowns.
@bogrosemary My state highway department wouldnt allow bus stop signs that the MPO designed (among all the billboards they allow) because they worry it’ll be too much clutter for the poor motorists. Over-abundance for one mode mandating scarcity for all others.
@DavidJoy_Author Makes sense. I’m not a rural guy. I’m trying to convince folks the value of rebuilding the historic downtown instead and stop putting the big boxes on the farms. But I’m out of parcels that will hold them & folks want those coolers.
@walkyourcamera Been fortunate to work at some good ones. But just having a shower and changing area available for employees is the one that made the biggest difference in making folks feel comfortable being active in how they get to work and at breaks.
That thing where District leadership picks a complex corridor, spends half-a-decade planning, then screws it up in a last minute fit of pique looks even dumber from a distance.
Today, stand with me in support of our downtown.
The K Street Transitway means more safety, more reliability, less congestion, and better motorist experiences in the heart of our downtown.

Sorry for the crypto spam the past few days. Account was hacked and all info changed to lock me out. Pleasantly surprised at how quickly Twitter got it fixed.
@infieldflygrl The premise is that it’s all a TV show. One thing you learn as a Nats fan, given the dispute with the O’s, is that in-game spending just doesn’t matter compared to TV viewership money and how that gets spread.
@sarahshook Good to hear! I’m actually closer to DC than Morgantown. Try to see you there every time I can. (And appreciate the intro to Sunny War. She’s become another favorite.)
@sarahshook I worry about artists seeing this stuff and (reasonably) avoiding our difficult state in response, which will just isolate folks more. Certainly not an expectation, but if you ever want to play my little part of WV we’ll try to fill up a venue for you.
@cgoodwoman Any chance you have a shareable version not behind the paywall? (Terrible thing to ask a writer & journalist, I know. But I’m still refusing to accept I must subscribe to the local paper of a town 5 hours away to get state leg coverage.)
@WHands80@beyonddc There are several proposals to include Hancock/Cumberland. I’ve been watching to see that they don’t leave WV since WV won’t pay. Currently looks like it would cost MD more to leave. So more optimistic than it’s been.
