It could be better, of course. But that's a different question.
Since my experience isn't yours or theirs or anyone else's, that's all the more reason why it's important for people to share their own personal comments (through 12/31) at bikelanes.ddot.dc.gov/pages/7a2218...

America, you've spoken loud and clear: you do not like being stabbed in the dick with an ice pick. But what if stabbing yourself in the dick with an ice pick is the only way to fight, idk, climate change or whatever?

It's absolutely wild that to roll over a 401(k) in 2025, I must (1) receive a physical check, and (2) mail a physical check, all under the threat of severe tax penalties if something gets goofed up.
If only there were a way for financial institutions to talk to each other...

Interesting: Urbanist group @ggwash.org is suing @ddotdc.bsky.social over its refusal/failure to release a study the city conducted on congestion pricing possibilities in downtown D.C. The study was finished in 2020, but has never been made public – even in response to FOIA requests.

DDOT continues to publish before/after analyses of safety projects. The numbers for the 9th street NW bike lanes suggest that we should be doing these projects everywhere we can. Crashes plummeted, pedestrian and bike traffic skyrocketed, and vehicle travel times dropped.

Incredibly disappointed (shocked even) that the plan is to make the default Rust mutex not poisonable in the 2027 edition. Poisoning is one of the best examples of Rust focusing on rigor, and removing it from the default mutex would be a massive step backwards.
