I've always loved airline route maps so this explanation/tutorial on creating them by @pinakographos was intriguing: somethingaboutmaps.wordpress…

On Airline Mapping

A couple of months ago, I had the opportunity to redesign the route map for a major airline, to be printed in their in-flight magazine. This is not the final product that I ended up creating for th…

Last night around 7 pm, a 5-y-o girl was killed by a driver. Her family suffers an unimaginable loss. If #visionzerodc can't ensure a child can safely ride her bike in a neighborhood, we must make major changes to do better. This can never be accepted as part of life in DC.

Redesigning streets to make it impossible to drive recklessly is worth the money, and worth slowing and inconveniencing drivers. This little girl’s life would have been worth it. Heartbreaking.

Today I watched a woman with six young children walk on a sidewalk that did not exist two years ago. Reminded me that mobility doesn’t have to be as complicated as the latest trend. Sometimes its as simple as the difference between walking in the mud and the dignity of a sidewalk

Uber would like to remind you that their business model relies on increasing congestion and emissions, by shifting people from public transit to private cars.

What's it called when you're the "post a Bike to Work Day link in the work chat" guy and then forget to do it yourself?

Hogan is scaling back the I-495 Beltway & I-270 widening. New plan "focuses solely on building a new American Legion Bridge & delivering two high occupancy toll (HOT) managed lanes in each direction" on I-270 to I-370 with "no action on I-495 east of the I-270 eastern spur."

What should we do with all the laws DC representatives elected by dc voters passed that govern local DC? Huh? This is nonsense. Favoring retrocession is admitting the federal footprint can be shrunk, (what HR 51 does). You just don’t want our values represented.

Drivers killed at least two pedestrians in D.C. today. My feed right now is filled with this & other news of people injured & accosted by drivers. It's scary. It's gutting. As @NSementelli & @FixCircle wrote the other day, it doesn't have to be like this. ggwash.org/view/81097/how-dc…
