There's a

Well, after several failed attempts, I finally commuted via water taxi this morning and it was a great experience! It honestly was faster getting from DC to Alexandria via water taxi than my standard metro commute before the shutdown. Would love this to be a regular option.

On the metro and a 10ish year old tourist who said he's from California is going around asking people if they're from DC and then telling them he thinks we have a beautiful city. Thanks kid, I think so too 🙂

Funny how fear mongers on this app talk about Union Station as if it's some abandoned dystopia filled with crime. I'm here almost weekly and it's always pretty full... This morning lots of people getting on trains, commuting, traveling... Don't listen to fear mongers on twitter.

First of these bike/bus platforms looks to be nearing completion! 13th & Penn
The Pennsylvania Ave SE share in-street bike/bus platforms construction began this week, beginning on the eastern end of 13th street SE to 3rd street.
Each of the 10 platforms will take a little over a week, scheduled to conclude in April
Then bike lanes!!! h/t

Headed to Richmond today, for something that starts around 5pm. Really surprised there are only 3 trains a day between DC and Richmond. Leaving DC at 720am, 350pm, and 710pm... So unless I wanted to leave at 720am and spend all day there
@Amtrak
wasn't an option 😞

Then you don't support home rule or statehood, Mr. President.
I support D.C. Statehood and home-rule – but I don’t support some of the changes D.C. Council put forward over the Mayor’s objections – such as lowering penalties for carjackings.
If the Senate votes to overturn what D.C. Council did – I’ll sign it.

I can't stress enough how much I hate the intersection of 11th SE and 695. A couple months ago I was hit by a car there. Today, I had the walk sign. Car turning onto highway slowed, seemingly to let me cross, then sped up, came within inches of me and laid on the horn 🤦♂️😫

I keep dwelling on 8th Street bus priority project discussion from the 6B transpo meeting. Some serious anti-bus rhetoric happened, a lot of "otherizing" of people who ride buses. Bus riders were underrepresented while those opposed for car-centric reasons had the loudest voices.
Some people just don't bother to understand how essential buses are. Unfortunately some of them are also ANC Commissioners.

Walking amidst the desolate ruins of the once great train station, I questioned reality. Hallucinations —people or tumbleweeds? Union Station, I was told, is now a ghost town, devoid of people... Surely I must be seeing things?

Some think that no one takes buses to visit Eastern Market and prioritizing bus traffic on 8th would hurt businesses and the Market. Notice all the people waiting for the bus at 8th and Independence at 2pm on a Sunday, right next to Eastern Market, many with shopping bags.

Hi
@DCPoliceDept
one of your officers has been posted on the corner in my neighborhood for the past 4 hours. Whatever the reason is, that doesn't excuse the fact that their car has been on and idling for the entire time. That's incredibly wasteful and bad for the environment....

When this place opened some neighbors assumed it would be a smoke shop given the name. Yes, there's tobacco products, but no more than a 7-11. It's really a convenience store. A small business trying to make it. If you need convenience store items, think about supporting them!

@charlesallen
cares deeply about our ward & city. Recall effort is unserious. Don't like him? Could've run against him. A successful recall would leave W6 unrepresented for months, in budget season. Those behind recall don't care about our ward or city, only attacking the CM.

For the record I am VERY supportive of more housing, especially for voucher holders. But blocking local buyers is what I have an issue with (and when it's a company flush with money from foreign investors it makes it hard for locals to afford housing).
