[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This problem with this thread is that (some of) the people are commenting are airing their grievances on bike safety, others are fighting for car/bike friendly policies.

Some of us are neighbors. Brookland is close knit and small.  Almost all new Moms have a cohort in a new Mom group that meets at places like Sidamo (past), MSM, in the grass at TT, in the kids section at Barnes and Noble and more.

We also know the streets.  We know that people FLY through the neighborhood, especially on Monroe, Newton, Franklin, 14th, Michigan and Otis. Everyone has a story of a close call.  We've advocated for Safe Street, speed bumps.

We know that there's  bad blind Hill by Bunker Hill Park.  And across from MMBDA at Irving.

We know this might have been an "accident" and might have been a "tragedy" but that doesn't matter to this family

And we are heartbroken that if we didn't know this family, we know their faces and their child.

So again, take your armchair commentary to fairfaxunderground and let the family grieve. If you can't give grace to adults, give it to kindergartners who have been with her, some since they were born, some since they entered a new school in PK3.[/quote]

I hope you work hard with DDOT and your ANC to get traffic calming. I’m so sorry for this family. [/quote]
