Agenda has dropped for our Aug 7 monthly meeting (virtual) Highlights: - Q&A with MPD on U St public safety, 6:30pm - 1617 U St redevelopment timeline & community engagement - Bicycle-friendly speed humps - Comp Plan 2050 anc1b.org/announcements/…

Thanks to Better Bus we have bendy buses on U Street now and I’m still geeking out over it. Removing some closely-spaced stops along U Street also results in some pretty noticeable improvements in travel time.

We got married here!!! This is a sad one 😩

Last night, the Commission approved a resolution calling on DDOT DC to study the adoption of bike-friendly speed humps, for a smoother cycling experience. We drew inspiration from the design in Portland, OR (Portland Bureau of Transportation), which includes narrow channels for bikes to pass through:

Found the home base of criminals in D.C.

Today’s announcement that the fed govt will make use of MPD and deploy the National Guard in DC should concern not only the city’s 700,000 residents, but all Americans. Today our federal government seeks to interfere in DC’s local affairs, but any city could be next.

STATEHOOD FOR D.C.

DC FOREVER

On a briefing call yesterday with Mayor Muriel Bowser & team, we learned that: - National Guard deployment will be limited to federal properties - federal agents will be accompanied by MPD officers DC Police Department - federal agents operating in DC will be identifiable (uniforms/badges)

Repeating my request for urgent, immediate, repair of the PBL at 15th & Q NW. 2 ppl injured so far and no date for when it will be safe again. DC311 DDOT DC

Republicans meddling in DC affairs are trying to take away speed and red light cameras (which catch people breaking the law and save lives) but are fine with illegal search and seizures that violate the 4th Amendment! This isn’t about public safety. It’s about power.

This is federal overreach and not making DC safer. It’s about power. It’s about instilling fear in cities. Our Ward 1 community is standing together & looking out for one another. The very heart & soul of our great city is at stake.

TODAY!

Join me for a Ward 1 Town Hall on Recent Federal Actions Impacting D.C. Monday night at 7 pm. We’ll talk about impact on Home Rule, the court filing, and what you can do. Register here: dccouncil-us.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

A Baked Joint is one of the most consistently busy cafes in the city - if rent is too expensive for them, what are we doing here? The city needs to start fining developers for vacant storefronts for this to end!!

New station! Capital Bikeshare’s 17th St & Kalorama Rd NW station is here, providing you with even more connections for your commute. Happy riding! 🚲

The fence is down. New soccer field at MarieReedES. ⚽️ 🥅 #AdamsMorgan

Washington DC’s 700,000+ residents deserve federal representation. DC statehood now.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.
