Seems like you're the one who's refusing to surrender when you've already lost, though.

Nice to know you think this is a game. But if you’re keeping score, what have you accomplished exactly? Seriously.

Did you notice how quickly the city was able to implement the end of rush hour parking restrictions without needing an extra 6 months of “study”.

If you don’t know how this thing is going to play out, then you’re quite naive.


DP. The bike lanes are happening. You can continue to whine about it if you like, but the only thing you're accomplishing is looking childish.

Your false confidence and bravado is fantastic.

DC just gave people more street parking full time on Connecticut Ave. they aren’t going to take that away for bike lanes. Y’all make me laugh. Not clear if you’re mendacious or naive but either way it’s very funny.

What’s even funnier is that the person most responsible for spearheading that change was Frumin, who has been conspicuous by his absence of saying anything about the DDOT plan to delay study for another six months. Not a single other CM has bothered to take up the cause even performatively. Just goes to show how quickly the politics of this issue has shifted. No CMs want to talk about bike lanes and the mayor wants to talk about road maintenance.

He may be a "nice guy" but he knows that his posturing as a left wing doofus was bs and he will revert to the mainstream of what Ward 3 wants.

It was your metaphor.

You can stomp your feet anonymously on DCUM all you want and tell us we all know what will happen. Your crystal ball is just as reliable as anybody else's. Only time will tell. If it makes you feel better to insist that the bike lanes won't be built, that's worth something for you.

There is no need for a crystal ball when we have ongoing budget hearings as a guide.

I would also like to point out that just this week Bowser and Lott did a big press conference with a lot of publicity about road maintenance - for cars. Bike lanes seem to be rapidly falling down the list of priorities.

Please do continue living in your fantasy world, I’m having fun laughing at you.


DC does “Potholepalooza” every April. It’s nothing new! (And of course, road maintenance helps bikes too.) I agree that we don’t know what the future DC budget will bring, but it’s likely to reduce spending in ALL areas. Also can we talk about how gross it is for you to gloat about the budget situation and act like it’s some kind of “gotcha” moment?

TBH if we left it up to people like you, DC would have nothing new and good. No redeveloped Navy Yard. 14th St still homeless shelters. No Circulator bus. No festivals with street closures. No Beach Drive closures even on the weekend. What really unites your stance is an extremely rigid neophobia.

He’s in a bad place politically because he’s aligned himself with the uber progressive ANCs that push policies that have clearly made Ward 3 less safe. He’s definitely going to get a primary from the center and if he tries to moderate his position he will get a primary from one of the socialists.

You don't sound like you're having fun, tbh.

It’s just funny to me that you’re out here arguing to the death over something that you have zero control over and is not even going to happen. Your words have no meaning or consequence. Just wasted electrons contributing to climate change. You are definitely obsessed and I’m having a good time making fun of you over it.


“Bike lanes contribute to climate chance” is going on the bingo card.

I seriously hope DC is politically smart enough to know it cannot be dominated by a handful of mentally unstable people fixated on viewing bike lanes as a personal offense.

You’re pretty dense. You’re wasted energy crying about bike lanes that will never happen is contributing to climate change. Each stupid post you make contributes 0.35g of CO2. If you cared about the planet you’d stop posting this meaningless drivel.

He’s certainly alienated businesses by aligning with these clowns. If he doesn’t do something substantive to win them back he’s done.

I do not think DC policy makers make decisions based on anonymous posts on an internet message board.

Ha, I am sure he is quaking in his boots that the owner of a store who lives in Rockville doesn't like him.

Almost every small business from Macomb to Nebraska has signed the petition against the bike lanes.

There is surely nothing stopping him from making a public statement in support. Instead, the only thing he’s officially done is RT support for e-bike rebates and removal of rush hour parking restrictions. He’s clearly afraid to say anything about bike lanes right now.

If so, likely based on false representations.

The Circulator? Isn't that the bus line that is being cancelled in order to save $7 million? The bus line with a daily user base of over 10x the amount of bicyclists on Connecticut? The bus line that was cancelled because too few people were using it? That bus line? Seems ironic that you should mention it
