[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't blame Frumin alone.  No council member is interested in providing oversight.  It's easier to pass new bills than to examine what the government is doing.

Doesn't some council member want to stick it to the mayor with a hearing?![/quote]

If it was in Ward 5, 6, 7, or 8 sure.  But in ward 3?  A good half of the city just laughs and says shouldn't get priority ever.[/quote]

Frumin has blown what little political capital he had on bike lanes.  Meanwhile existing infrastructure deteriorates and the apartment buildings are getting packed with homeless and drug addicts.  It’s completely dystopian. [/quote]

Frumin actually called for no funding of any safety improvements along Connecticut Ave without bike lanes getting built.  In other words, there would be not even a single raised crosswalk for March students without Frumin’s treasured bike lanes.  That’s petulant public policy.[/quote]

That isn't true.[/quote]

Yes, it is.  Frumin pushed Charles Allen to condition Conn Ave safety improvements on building bike lanes, in the committee report.  Fortunately the rest of the D.C. Council displayed more sense.[/quote]

Again, not true.

The condition was that all of the funds would only be available if the Concept C was built.  Otherwise, DDOT would have access to limited planning funds but Council wouldn't blank check authorize them to spend $26mm without any prior knowledge of what that was buying.[/quote]

That means the same thing.[/quote]

No it doesn't.[/quote]
