Trying to make a list of all the bike projects that DDOT planned and then seriously watered down over the last year or two...
--CT Ave (obviously)
--KS Ave (described below)
--11th street NW
--K Street NW transitway
not to mention downgrading AZ ave which was already protected but isn't anymore

The people who complained about this project insist that the median is needed to prevent car collisions. Ironic that they so fervently believe a structural barrier is safer than paint… #bikedc
DDOT has changed the design plan for the protected bike lanes on Kansas Ave NW (which have already been under construction) to eliminate the structural protection, and add more paint.

So if being anti-fascist is considered domestic terrorism, that means the Federal government just openly admitted to being fully Fascist, correct?

There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.
