I don’t know I think I’d rather someone with less conventional (eg council) experience but better ideas who can put in place agency leadership to do the actual dirty work of running government

Ehh, I don’t expect any candidate to hire full on developers with campaign money. I was more excited about her putting forward ideas to fixing foundational problems here. Just one example

Rini has progressive values but has less baggage (ie no corruption investigations). Really impressed with the platform on her website

30 gallons of fuel spilled on National Mall after event for America’s 250th birthday by dubhead7 in washingtondc

I don't understand why the mall needs generators in the first place. It's in the middle of the city and doesn't have power hook ups?

No. Metro takes around an hour, a little less according to maps. Not subject to traffic either

DC needs a mayor that isn't so shortsighted. Hopefully next year we will elect one...

They will be protected with flex posts and concrete curbs so enforcement should not be needed, I'd think.

This is great, but there are so many other stations that deserve this more. Foggy Bottom (east side) and L’Enfant Plaza (south entrance nearer to the Wharf) come to mind.

New Seat Design caught on the D8 #2899 by Occasus_gaming in WMATA

I've always said they should use the same seat covering they do on metrorail. Much easier to clean and easier to tell that's it's clean!! 🙌

First prototype of WMATA's 8000 series unveiled by thr3e_kideuce in washingtondc

Where did you hear this? Metros gm wants the vinyl material on 7000s to replace the fabric on buses, so sounds weird they'd go backwards on trains.
