Tuesday Afternoon Commute - Odor control scrubbers

Worst high school mascot ever.

• "Yesterday, the transportation committees of both Advisory Neighborhood Commissions (ANCs) along H Street supported a plan to let cyclists ride in both directions on G and I Streets, while keeping car traffic one-way."
• More coverage of 15th Street Cycletrack repaving - "There will always be open lanes for vehicular traffic and access for pedestrians. But there may be a period during the work when cyclists may not be able to access these bike lanes." And still more here. 
• Guess what? All the TV news channels have picked up the video of the red-light running cyclist getting hit by a taxi. Imagine that. That they would love a video that reaffirms the opinion of most people that cyclists constantly "blow through lights." Fantastic. Here's FOX and NBC. The stories are pretty even-handed I'd say, and for those wondering about the legality of this ride "DC Bike Party works in conjunction with police and DDOT in trying to make their meet-up events safe for everyone."
• Earlier today "D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier will discuss the beating of a cyclist on a popular bike path, allegations of racial bias in marijuana arrests, MPD s summer safety plan and more on NewsTalk."
• MoveDC and the future of DC Transportation
• Montgomery County and Maryland transportation planners want to tear down the Apex building to make a better Purple Line and to keep the Capital Crescent Trail in the tunnel. But the owners aren't returning phone calls, aren't as likely to be motivated by the incentives the county is offering, and have long term leases that could cause problems. Also, there are deadlines. 
• There's a TPB meeting tomorrow. They have a presentation on BTWD 2013 (from which the graphic below comes) - there are more registrants from Virginia than either DC or MD and Rosslyn is the biggest pit stop (not Freedom Plaza). 
• A 7-year-old boy was flown to Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Monday evening after he ran into the side of a car while riding his bicycle on Papa Court off Security Road
• Military bases - of which the DC area has more than a few - will become more bicycle friendly under rules identified by the new the United Facilities Criteria (UFC) for Installation Master Planning.
• Bike safety tips from the he American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
• More about bikes on Amtrak.

@washcycle when I click the link about marijuana bust I got some silly ad and a warning about an attack from my Norton security.
