VICTORY: A federal court just put the chainsaws down at East Potomac Park The plan was to turn a public park into a private tournament course for Trump & wealthy golfers. The trees stay while we fight it out in court @democracydefendersfund.org & partners are on the case 👇- TN

TL;DR: A judge has issued a temporary restraining order prohibiting NPS from further work on Hains Point because their justification for doing so is transparently nonsense and clearly an attempt to start work on the president's stupid golf course.

NPS took down ~500 trees at Hains Point on Saturday, without notifying a judge as they were instructed to do. There's an emergency hearing happening now that you can listen in on via the Court's public access dial-in line. The telephone number is 833-990-9400, and the access code is 787605272.

NPS assures us this is part of the 4th of July festivities and that the curbs will be replaces shortly.

Looking a lot like the Trump Administration is actively ignoring a court order for them not to dismantle the 15th Street protected bike lane, although the paint remains.

This is an afront to family biking across #BIkeDC! Stay tuned for planned action. And tell your friends outside of DC to call their Senators offices on Tuesday to alert them to this action that will hurt everyone that visits the National Mall

Washington Area Bicyclist Association@waba.org

We’ve heard now from several reliable sources that federal agencies may remove a substantial chunk of the 15th St NW protected bike lanes near the National Mall in February, possibly as early as next week.

Earlier today a driver killed a person crossing the street in downtown DC. Based on the wreckage, high speed was almost certainly involved. The crash happens the same day Trump's Department of Transportation has begun an attempt to abolish speed cameras in DC.

ATTENTION, BIKE LOVERS AND PARK ENTHUSIASTS Malcolm X Park finally has its own dedicated bikeshare station! After a year of advocacy as an ANC Commissioner, I was thrilled to watch with neighbors as the hardworking folks at @bikeshare.bsky.social installed a new station at 15th and Chapin.
