"FY 2025. The FY 2025 budget highlights are:
• $835.5 million for the District Department of Transportation, to include: $410.7 million for federal Highway Trust Fund supported projects which includes $47.2 million for the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge Rehabilitation and $42.8 million for Benning Road Bridges and Transportation Improvements, $115.5 million for various locally funded projects including local street paving, streetlight management, sidewalks, alleys, stormwater and flood mitigation, fleet, equipment and transportation mitigation, $93.8 million for the H Street Bridge, $47.3 million for Streetscapes and Beautification, $48.3 million for safety improvements, $36.7 million for the 11th Street Bridge Park, $18.2 million for Urban Forestry, $18.1 million for Pepco Powerline Undergrounding, $16.3 million for Bridge Rehabilitation, and $16.7 million for Bus Priority and Efficiency;"

The 11th Street Bridge is the bike bridge.

If we eliminated the streetscapes, safety improvements, 11th St Bridge, and bus priority lanes plus the $32 million for the bike lanes that's almost $200 million of painless cuts.[/quote]

It's interesting that you seize upon this array of stuff - all of which makes a positive contribution to the QoL in the city - and not the $600m giveaway to Ted Leonsis.[/quote]
