Reply to Spotted up and down Mass Ave NW between 4th and 5th (and probably elsewhere) - someone screwed up by mr_grission
That stretch of Mass is the border for the Mt Vernon Triangle BID, so I wouldn’t be surprised if the BID paid for it? I think they have a Twitter.

Also worth pointing out much of the city still has minimum lot size requirements that preserve massive yards (looking at you, Ward 3)

There’s been research into this topic as well and sirens actually don’t speed up EMT vehicles. I’d happily support reducing siren noise as well.

The punitive measures for violent/gun crimes are still very high. Have you even looked at the RCC?

I don’t think this is mutually exclusive. Paris, for example, has been reducing car usage by turning over space and installing noise cameras on remaining roads.

Research has shown strong evidence that city noise has a wide range of negative health impacts, including higher blood pressure, stress, hearing damage, reduced sleep, and more. There’s also a link between noise levels and cognitive issues like dementia. Black and brown communities tend to be disproportionately impacted by these outcomes.

Reply to What's the deal with cherry blossoms? by rungreyt
The Tidal Basin area is already a major tourist draw in and of itself even without the blossoms. Add in the trees - of which there are thousands - and it’s a no brainer. No one is suggesting they’re unique to DC, it’s simply the backdrop and volume of blooms.
