Leadership requires taking risks. Mayor Hidalgo took an extreme political risk by reconfiguring so many roads in Paris' urban core, risking losing re-election. She won easily because the people embraced the change. Is DC's leadership willing to take such risk?
The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened — how fast people on bikes “appeared” — once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

Nice! This is the work of thousands of comments submitted, hundreds of testimonies read, and alot of advocacy in general!
And we still got work to do to expand the network!
The 2023 D.C. bike map is here.
It includes the new 9th St protected bike lane, five miles of new trails, like MBT extension to Fort Totten, Piney Branch Parkway to RCP connector, and more.

Starting this week #FY20: *dedicated* funding for @DDOTDC to finalize design and build protected #bikedc infrastructure on 6th and/or 9th St NW. This funding can only be used for this purpose; we’ll be leaving money on the table if not used. Five years of delay is long enough.

Join the @DDOTDCDirector and team for an inaugural ride on the Florida Ave bike lanes. We will celebrate progress on an important safety project and honor the memory of those lost in crashes along the corridor with a moment of silence. #bikedc🚲 #visionzerodc

The @dcfireems "Castle on the Hill!" Firefighter, Nick, told me the tower was once used as a lookout to see if there where any fires! #dcproud

Yes. I saw it. I live in #ward8 in the Henson Ridge Townhouses right along where the Alabama Ave bike lane is. Doesn't surprise me. Even more reason why I ride & lead #bikedc rides #eotr. Absent this snafu, some good cycling in #sedc. Just got to keep working on making it better.
