Jamya was 20 years old when she was killed by a driver who ran a red light in downtown DC. The Council can fund a program to prevent others from experiencing similar tragedies: ggwash.org/view/93660/speed-β¦

Traffic deaths have gone up 93% in 5 years in DC. That incl. on CT Ave.
Kershbaum called it βnuance.β I call it cowardice. A total lack of vision & leadership at the very top: @MayorBowser.

Curious if other women/people who identify as women in #bikedc have had these types of experiences? Makes me want to pilot a study in the DMV to measure/track misogynist aggressions/abuses toward female cyclers/micromobility users... momentummag.com/women-reallyβ¦

5/8ths of DCβs fatalities in 2024 have been hit-and-runs. Weβre running a 100% increase in fatalities over last year
This is the fifth hit & run killing *of 2024.* 4 pedestrians and a scooter. And we still get unhinged lunatics in public meetings complaining about too much focus on unsafe driving. They can go pound sand.

Listening to this DDOT performance oversight hearing and all the testimonies about congestion pricing. This would not increase support among car drivers, but I really want to rename it to privilege pricing. It is a privilege to drive and should be priced as such.

We marked #WDoR2023 on Sunday in a slightly unconventional way: we gathered on a playground, had donuts & coffee, remembered those weβve lost, and called for safe streets across our region. It was heartbreaking and beautiful.
Letβs see our world thru the eyes of children.

"It's not my duty as Mayor to make sure you have a parking spot. It's the same as if you bought a cow, or fridge, and then ask me where you're going to put them."

Lots to consider, as our culture prioritizes the driving community and continues to put vulnerable roadway users at excessive risk. #PedsOverBigMac

Some interesting stats disclosed by @KAndersonDMOI as part of @DMOIDCβs responses to the T&E Committeeβs pre-hearing questions. A single Maryland driver has accumulated *$186,600* in outstanding ATE camera fines/fees and *42 drivers* have more than $50k owed to the District!
Wish the Bloomberg @CityLab top moments recap wasnβt so on point - Bowser does indeed want everyone to drive downtown πToo bad that wonβt revitalize what could be a peaceful, safe, vibrant mixed-use corridor (Groningen, Netherlands shows whatβs possible). bloombergcities.jhu.edu/newsβ¦
