Don’t be fooled. Removing protected bike lanes along 15th St. near the National Mall doesn’t alleviate congestion – it’ll cause more of it as accidents increase. It’s yet another effort by the federal gov’t to politicize common-sense safety measures in DC. 51st.news/trump-administ…

Attention! We have Peduncle Elongation!

@maustermuhle @MayorBowser A lot of us worked hard *with the Park Service & DDOT* to get 15th Street installed. This is nothing less than an "f u" to us from Pk Svc's overseers who want urban safety unwound, eradicated. In their vision cars must dominate, no matter the cost to human lives.

Here's @MayorBowser on NPS's plans to start removing the 15th Street protected bike lane between the National Mall and Jefferson Memorial. (Story: 51st.news/trump-administ…) She says the decision will "likely increase conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles."

This #weknowwhothebaddriversare keeps slipping thru @DCDPW grasp.

@dougkammerer To add to that, the 2025-2026 winter was the coldest @Reagan_Airport with below average snowfall since the memorable winter of 1993-1994 ! tinyurl.com/5n8xuthv #WashingtonDC

DMV online photo enforcement payment portal shows car Vincent Orange Jr was driving has $18,384 in outstanding tickets for speeding, running stop signs and bad tags. @nbcwashington

Frustrated Judge admonishes Vincent Orange Sr multiple times for struggling with basic courtroom procedure including introducing evidence and purpose of the hearing. Prosecutors offered plea deal to misdemeanor but VO Jr declined. @nbcwashington

The 15th Street Protected Bike Lane south of Constitution Ave is slated to be removed on Monday, per 2 sources Reportedly DDOT did not raise strong objections to it and has further not objected to using the Hains Point bike lanes for car traffic during the cherry blossoms

Turf replacement at Malcolm X Park is WAY overdue. But closing the entire lawn without community engagement has rubbed a lot of folks the wrong way. I'm working closely with local NPS leadership to find an alternative plan that preserves some access to DC's vital town square. wapo.st/4t0b1Cx

Important: Testimony before the DC Council yesterday should have you questioning everything you’ve ever heard from DC911/@OUC_DC's director. Former DC Fire & EMS Department Medical Director Dr. Robert P. Holman and former Chief of Staff Amy Mauro lifted the curtain. They showed us how important medical decisions by Dr. Holman were overruled or ignored by the 911 director, resulting in poor performance by DC911. Chief John Donnelly frequently reminds the public that his department runs the third-largest health care agency in the city. What Holman and Mauro show is that running that health care agency is hampered by the 911 director ignoring crucial medical advice and the medical director being unable to verify the quality assurance of EMS calls handled by DC911. Emergency call-taking and dispatching are crucial components of EMS. The medical director must be making these key medical decisions. If you want a 911 center that properly and effectively handles 911 calls, it should be in the hands of the person legally and ethically responsible for pre-hospital patient care. Support the bill submitted by @CMBrookePinto, @Janeese4DC, and @AnitaBondsDC, that puts the medical director fully in charge of EMS. If you like the continued failed coordination between the two agencies, prefer the status quo, and want to protect the turf and egos at OUC, then Director Heather McGaffin’s ridiculous new plan is for you. In her testimony yesterday, McGaffin said she suddenly wants her very own medical director at OUC. One that she can control. Yesterday’s hearing proved that Director McGaffin is really bad at following doctors’ orders. Here is some of the testimony from yesterday, starting with Amy Mauro and Dr. Holman. Then my testimony, followed by the IAFF’s Robert McClintock and David Hoagland. The last video is the questioning by Council member Brooke Pinto, the chair of the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety. #FixDC911 @CMRobertWhiteDC @CMZParker5 @chenderson @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @CMFrumin @CMWendellFelder @donicrawford @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @SmithSteiner @johnson4b06 @Evan_Yeats @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @dccrimefacts @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @ODCA_DC @IAFF36 @dcpoliceunion @jennygathright @tednbc4 @Tenleytown411 @6Min2Live @MattGregoryNews @DCNewsNow @danyagainor @LiannaGoldenTV @KatieLusso @IAFFofficial

New filings on the Commanders stadium design indicate that the two parking decks that will have some 8,000 parking spots could each be as tall as 110 feet. For context, the stadium will be 130 feet tall, while the highest point of its dome structure will be 195 feet.
