[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with Bowser is that she is a panderer. She will not have the backbone, I suspect, to back the smart forward-thinking people who have pushed bike lanes, transit, sustainability codes, etc. etc. She will cave to the loudest voices. At least that's what I'd be afraid of.[/quote] Pretty much this. Anything that had to do with progressive transportation reforms such as streetcars and bike lanes, she is opposed. Bus lane on 16th street, opposed. Sidewalks near Rock Creek Park? Opposed. If you are a candidate for the Office of Planning, DDOT or DDOE, would you take a job with a mayor who may not back you when the "unpopular" decisions need to be made? Would she hire a Gabe Kline or Harriet Tregoning as Fenty did? Would individuals like that want to work for her?[/quote]
