We joined Mundo Verde's bicibus this morning. It was amazing! One parent told us her count (based on donuts distributed) was 75 kids, and they had 100 for last week's Ride for Allie: www.fox5dc.com/video/1707053.

I joined a rally to send a clear message to Dominion Energy: our trees matter. 🌳

They must back a replanting plan for the 374 trees they cut along the W&OD Trail.

Thanks Sierra Club Great Falls, @gonatureforward.bsky.social, @waba.org,

Six months into congestion pricing: Traffic is down and business is up.

But that’s not all, the revenue generated by the program is already funding critical transit upgrades that will benefit millions of New Yorkers.

The District Dept. of Transportation plans to eliminate Arizona Ave. NW protected bike lanes. Use this action to tell DDOT you object: waba.org/action-page/... . The city should not compromise safety because a few individuals don’t like the look of flex posts.

A power outage in NE appears to be affecting a whole bunch of traffic lights. If you're riding the MBT or the Irving Street protected bike lane, use caution and expect drivers to react to the delays with their usual, uh, grace and patience.
