How, in 2016, we got less of Lanier Heights
While the District’s population went up by 15% between 2010 and 2020, Lanier Heights’ population increased only 3%. A downzoning is a big part of the reason the neighborhood hasn’t grown.

Adams Morgan was great. Thanks to new bus and bike lanes, it's even greater.

Columbia Rd Bikeshare stations seeing a 49% increase in ridership compared to they system's overall 35% increase is so validating. Columbia used to be so sketchy but the new bike lanes are a game changer for cross-town trips and heavy usage reflects this.
Bikeshare Beat: CaBi's recorded 40 straight months of year-over-year monthly ridership growth. Some of that growth is thanks to new bike lanes: through April 2025, the 5 stations along Columbia Rd recorded a 49% increase in ridership compared to 2024.
