40 diners takes the space of 3 parked cars and I’m supposed to believe removing this is better for the local economy?

The new @ward8woods tracker is a great visualization of the scale of illegal dumping + trash harming communities in Ward 8 This would be unacceptable in other neighborhoods. Residents deserve better and they deserve access to clean, safe parks. arcgis.com/apps/dashboard…

Cities w/high bicycling rates tend to be safer for #bicyclists, #pedestrians, AND #drivers ✅Bike lanes provide ⬆️ road visibility ✅Bike + pedestrian infrastructure creates a built environment that mitigates deadly speeds sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #bikedc #walkdc

Have you ever felt underwhelmed by #plantbased options at restaurants? A lot of it has to do with menu design ➡️reinventing menus to celebrate #sustainable options cultivates a strong consumer base that will continuously buy plant-based foods Plant rich menus = plant rich diets

New study: Cities that encourage cycling are safer for everyone -- including those who never bike: "Higher-bicycling cities are significantly associated with better overall road safety outcomes." doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmr…

American carbon emissions are down to 1991 levels! This is largely due to an 8% emission reduction from the power sector (⬆️ #solar, ⬇️ #coal) Meanwhile, car + air travel continue to work against our #climate goals, w/a 1.6% emissions increase last year jalopnik.com/american-carbo…

The entire Georgia Avenue NW corridor is in desperate need of a road diet! Implementation of the Georgia Ave. Bus Priority Project will help, but @DDOTDC will need to implement additional tools here to truly make it safer! buspriority.ddot.dc.gov/pages/georgiaa…

DC, it's time to scrape your plate! As of February 1, all @DCDPW Food Waste Drop-Off sites now accept meat and seafood scraps, dairy products, and bones.🍎🥦🧀🦐🍞

When you look at this map and compare it to moveDC's map of areas with the greatest transportation needs, you have to question whether @DDOTDC is meeting its equity goals. Despite some trails, through FY 2026 there are 0 plans to install a protected bike lane in ward 8 EOTR.
