From DDOT:
“Today, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced plans to install on-bus automated enforcement cameras on two DC Circulator buses to gather data about how DC’s Car Free Lanes are being used. The pilot is scheduled to begin on February 16, 2021 and will continue through April 15, 2021.
“Under Mayor Bowser’s leadership, DDOT continues to prioritize improving the reliability and efficiency of bus travel in the District through the Car Free Lanes,” said Interim DDOT Director Everett Lott. “The data we collect through this pilot will be used to evaluate how we can make our current and future Car Free Lanes safer and operate more efficiently.”
Cameras will be installed on two DC Circulator buses that will travel all available routes. During the pilot, DDOT will collect data about how the car free lanes are being used, specifically the frequency of unauthorized vehicles using the lanes and vehicles illegally parked at bus stops. The results from the pilot will help DDOT better understand the complexities of on-bus automated camera enforcement. Data will be collected for research purposes only.
Since 2019, DDOT has explored the effectiveness of Car Free Lanes in the District by installing lanes on H/I Streets NW; 14th Street NW; the M Street SE; and Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue SE. Through these projects DDOT seeks to improve bus travel speeds and reliability across the District.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
