Metropolitan DC Local Politics
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. |
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. |
“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. |
Exactly. Which is why continued to argue anonymously on an internet message board for bike lanes is a waste of time. |
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 |
