“Dear PoPville,
Driving to work this morning, a bikeshare rider swerved out in front of me so I lightly beeped my horn. Not aggressively but to give a warning as I had the space to drive around him in the other lane. He proceeded to film me and aggressively blocked my progress between the intersection of P St NW and the Rock Creek offramp (Georgetown) and P and 23rd. I didn’t engage and stayed calm although very unsettling. Is this the new norm? (more…)
Tim Ebner shares with us yesterday:
“This intersection (Starburst Plaza) is what I like to call “somebody else’s problem.” Case in point: Today, I helped a man get life-saving care with Narcan nasal spray after an overdose that almost killed him.Read on, and let’s hold our city leaders accountable, so someone doesn’t die from a preventable overdose (more…)

From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“As ranking member of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee on Highways and Transit, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today wrote the Comptroller General of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) requesting that it conduct a comprehensive study on the causes and effects of railway noise pollution. Additionally, Norton asked GAO to propose ways that the federal government can reduce the negative effects of railway noise pollution. The request is similar to a bill Norton reintroduced in April to require the GAO to submit recommendations to Congress on how to reduce train noise and vibrations near homes.
“D.C. residents contact me regularly about the negative impacts train noise and vibrations have on their health, quality of life and even the structural integrity of their homes,” Norton said. “Although trains provide an essential mode of transportation, we can’t simply ignore the harms suffered by those who live near them, which can include structural damage, reduced property values and negative health effects. We must examine whether there are viable, cost-effective ways to mitigate the harms caused by long-term exposure to train noise and vibrations.”
Norton’s letter follows, with personal contact information redacted. (more…)
