Aru@aru.io · 2w agoIt has been a privilege to serve Edgewood for the past four years. Together we closed the MBT gap, brought a Trader Joe's to the neighborhood, and built an open and transparent commission. If you're interested in running, please reach out! I'd be happy to assist you in the process. [2/2]

One of the myths of car ownership is that users fully pay for infrastructure costs. It’s only partially true, and in DC, it is not particularly true. Especially with the gas tax on the decline, it’s time to consider other options to sustainably fund the costs of building and maintaining our roads.

Blaine Stum@bstum.bsky.social · 2w agoIn their letter, DoorDash seems to be conflating the passive congressional review that all of our legislation undergoes with active approval. Suffice to say, those are not even close to the same thing.
Just canceled my DashPass and sent this email to DoorDash. I encourage you to do the same if you support D.C. home rule. press@doordash.com and ir@doordash.com
Cancelled my 6 y.o. DashPass account and emailed their pr@ and ir@ addresses with an explanation.

Interesting: DoorDash is supporting the GOP bill in Congress to limit D.C.'s ability to increase or decrease taxes and fees, largely in response to the D.C. Council's recent vote in impose a new 20-cent delivery fee to help fund food-access programs. www.notus.org/metro/uberea...
That Food Delivery Is Soon Going To Cost You a Little More in D.C.
DoorDash unsuccessfully fought a 20-cent fee approved by the D.C. Council that will also affect UberEats deliveries.

At tonight's ANC 5F meeting, DGS told us that, for PEPCO work in support of the ATC, they plan to close the section of the MBT between Randolph and R Street for excavation for *8 weeks*. DDOT is still figuring out the traffic control plan, but this is something we're tracking. #bikedc
