What say you, #bikedc?

Ok this is interesting, comparing D.C. and Lincoln, Neb (what I consider the best city I've lived in for biking)
- D.C. rated safer, I guess more "infrastructure" but I argue way less safe b/c of cars/high traffic and less protected infrastructure. ImageImageImage
Meanwhile Lincoln had miles and miles of interconnected, separated trails that spread across the city and less crazy street traffic that made biking on those connector streets feel much safer.
Granted, my Lincoln riding was much more recreational than for necessary travel.
While you're here, rank your rides of choice in the region.
Mine:
1. MBT (connectivity)
2. C&O Canal for leisure/views
3. Beach Drive (when closed, near my home)
4. 15th St Cycletrack to National Mall
5. Indian Head Rail Trail (great, but far away)
6. West end of W & OD (far)

Gimme your best D.C. transit/transportation-themed Valentine's Day poems.
Roses are Red
I really like guava
My love for you is eternal
Just like getting lost in L'Enfant Plaza
Rose are red
The Blue Line is blue
The Maryland Transit Administration's Purple Line
Might be done by 2032

It's Metro Board day. Not a super-packed agenda.
MD Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld isn't here today. Michael Goldman filling in.

Board starts with a moment of silence for Bob Cunningham.

GM Randy Clarke says WMATA is taking care of his family, but the GoFundMe has raised $185,000 that will help pay for his kids college among other things. Clarke thanks the community for their thoughts and generosity. Image
Metro has set up town halls to talk about security and wellness for employees. Clarke says the staff is resilient, but angry at the gun violence in America.

Second time in two weeks that I’ve been on a Green Line train where teens have broken into back cab of older trains and turned off the lights.

Operator at L’Enfant “please stop playing with the lights.”
Another lights off train at L’Enfant! What is up today?! ImageImage
It’s like a tug of war between operator and whoever is at back cab. Lights on. Lights off. Lights on. Lights off.
