The 15th st bike lane 5PM yesterday; a complete street for all users. I am disgusted that any part of this would be removed for petty politics, feeding the false narrative of a war on cars and literally making the road less safe for all users. #BikeDC #VisionZero #NoVision

Statement by President George W. Bush on Robert Mueller:
"Laura and I are deeply saddened by the loss of Robert Mueller. Bob dedicated his life to public service. As a Marine in Vietnam, he proved he was ready for tough assignments. He earned a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart before returning home to pursue law. In 2001, only one week into the job as the 6th Director of the F.B.I., Bob transitioned the agency mission to protecting the homeland after September 11. He led the agency effectively, helping prevent another terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Laura and I send our heartfelt sympathy to his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann, and the Mueller family."

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

So a gambling parlor is opening in downtown DC.

#BikeDC This one hurts! I am disgusted by the Neandertal thinking to remove a critical bike lane that REDUCED crashes and bike-related injuries. #VisionZeroFail #NoVision

The Trump administration is removing a protected bike lane that runs along 15th Street from the National Mall to the Tidal Basin. Officials say it causes traffic; bike advocates say it actually makes everyone safer. 51st.news/trump-administ…

#BikeDC My take away: DC needs elected leaders who are all in on transit, who get it. Great article. How is the K street transit way not built yet 23 years after it was first proposed?ggwash.org/view/99727/les…

Love this; public transportation serving the public in all facets of its operation.

@SS_DCTransit @PurpleLineMD @purplelinenow @WABADC They have been very coy about the opening date. During the last round of CAT meetings the language used changed from spring opening to summer. I'm wishing for June but I could see that slipping to July based on work still to do.

@TimSloanDC @PurpleLineMD @purplelinenow @WABADC Hi Tim, do you have an official source for the opening date of the trail? Last I heard they were planning to finish construction soon, but hadn’t said when the trail would actually open.

The new Grubb Rd connection to the Capital Crescent Trail (CCT) is in the final grading phase before spring paving and a summer opening. @PurpleLineMD #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #purplelineprogress #CCTrail #LightRail @purplelinenow @WABADC

Built for harsh terrain. Built for the mission. The Secret Service "Camp Package" is ready for any challenge.

Question @PurpleLineMD : What were the reasons/engineering to convert Bonifant St to ballasted track and eliminate the roadway? I do see the new single one-way lane between Dixon Ave and Georgia Ave; a fire lane? #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #purplelineprogress #LightRail @purplelinenow

English

@TimSloanDC @PurpleLineMD @purplelinenow @WABADC What’s the point of that? Do they think the purple line is going to derail and crash into their trains or something?
English

CSX demanded a massive concrete "crash wall" to separate @PurpleLineMD from the heavy freight trains, a primary driver for the multi-year delays affecting this section from Talbot ave to Spring St. #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #purplelineprogress #LightRail @purplelinenow @WABADC

English

@Dan_Burke @purplelinenow @WABADC Yes. The two blocks will be train only, except for a one way narrow single lane between Dixon Ave and Georgia ave. Very curious design choice.

The two blocks of Bonifant St west of Georgia Ave are Ballasted track ensuring the 140 ft long trains will not be delayed by cars in this area. #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #purplelineprogress #LightRail @purplelinenow
