The sooner we institute congestion pricing, the better. In the meantime, that's not going to happen if WMATA remains a joke.

Let's do it now. They can park at Minnesota Ave or Benning Road and take the metro in. Probably faster anyway.

And get stabbed on the metro. No thanks.

I would prefer an adult get stabbed on the metro than an innocent child suffer because you can't drive.

This thread jumped the shark days ago. Ignore it.

There is minimal danger in taking the metro but very real danger to walking in certain parts of the hill primarily due to the commuters. If you're too dense to figure that out, I suggest you focus on teleworking.

Do you mean stop signs to replace the stop light?

The intersection at 13th and Constitution is also crossed by Tennessee Ave. I don't think you could govern an intersection like that without traffic lights.

Speed bumps would be better if you ask me, but I'm not a traffic engineer. Other schools on the Hill have the bumps, why not Maury?

How hard would it be to have a crossing guard for a few more hours afterschool too, until aftercare closes?

I would prefer bumps in the neighborhood. It's unsafe for these children to return home. Lincoln Park, a stone's throw from Maury, is dangerous to walk to because of the animals going around Lincoln Park at 40mph. C street NE is terrifying for even adults to cross. Something has to be done. Charles Allen gets complaints about this every day. The DOT has also been informed. I've been there. They just don't care. Allen is a do-nothing idiot, and the Bowser administration prioritizes the needs of commuters over those who did not vote for her in Ward 6. Charles Allen wants to lay low and stay elected - he thinks methadone clinics, no viable middle school, and dangerous streets are okay so long as he stays in "power".

I cringe painfully whenever I see a parent biking with a small child around Lincoln Park. I feel it's only a matter of time before one gets hit.

and yet parents bike around Lincoln Park all the time with small children and do fine. There are speed bumps on both the northern and southern sides and clearly marked crosswalk aside from the lights. this is just hyperbole. The roads around Lincoln Park are not even a primary arterial routes for commuters.

Try driving around Lincoln Park during the morning rush hour and then come back and talk to us.

i do most every single day. There is traffic but it's not as heavy as Penn Ave, C St, Constitution, H St. And it doesn't move that fast around Lincoln Park, where it's slowed by lights, crosswalks, speed bumps

The sight lines at the marked crosswalks for drivers and pedestrians alike suck when traffic is backed up during the morning rush.

It's going to be a LONG road for the sweet girl. If you are able to give, please consider doing so.

Poor kid.

She has substantial internal bleeding and they're having trouble getting it under control. Kidney lacs as bad as hers are actually pretty rare

My heart is broken for that little girl. I live near Maury and this is my greatest fear. I feel terrible for her and her family. I also hope this terrible experience can save other children from this or a worse fate.
