My dear friends, this is your hour. This is not victory of a party or of any class. It’s a victory of the great Cleveland Park neighborhood as a whole. We were the first, in this ancient neighborhood, to draw the “sword” against poor urban planning. After a while we were left all alone against the most tremendous NIMBY power that has been seen. We were mostly alone for over ten years. I say that in the long years to come not only will the people of this neighborhood but of the world, wherever the bird of freedom chirps in human hearts, look back to what we’ve done and they will say “do not despair, do not yield to terrible urban planning.”
You asked, what was our aim? We answered in one word: Victory. It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all ridiculous signage, however long and hard the road proved to be; for without victory, there is no vibrant neighborhood.
Thanks to ANC Commissioner Tammy Gordon, ANC3C06 for sending the great news Friday: (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Any updates on when (if?) the long-awaited Hains Point bike lanes will actually be put in? Back in November the word was they’d be installed in one week in early December. But here we are in June, and as of last weekend when I was there biking … nothing. Has anyone seen an updated timeline?”
Update from NPS (July 6):
“We’re working with @DDOTDC to restripe Ohio Drive around Hains Point, creating a safer pathway for bikers & pedestrians. The road will remain open during the 6 week project, but some parking areas will be closed”
