As a candidate to represent Ward 2 on the Council, I will make pedestrian safety a priority by improving public spaces and transportation infrastructure. #WalkDC https://randyforward2.com/services/transportation/">https://randyforward2.com/services/...

I worked to implement important Vision Zero initiatives to:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🛑" title="Stop sign" aria-label="Emoji: Stop sign"> improve crosswalk markings
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚧" title="Baustellenschild" aria-label="Emoji: Baustellenschild"> lower speed limits

With these improvements, I also advocated for:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚌" title="Bus" aria-label="Emoji: Bus"> dedicated bus lanes on H and I St & 16th St

I’ll be a leader on the Council fighting for more pedestrian safety initiatives by:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚴🏾‍♀️" title="Radfahrende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Radfahrende Frau (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)"> adding more miles of protected bike lanes

When the pandemic hit, I knew we needed to continue improving public space to make our streets safe for everyone. I immediately got to work with DDOT to expand sidewalks for residents to social distance and install strEATeries to expand outdoor dining space.

The pandemic has forced us to look at how we use public space for the betterment of our community. As Councilmember, I’ll support making the positive changes we see today permanent in many areas of Ward 2.

As Ward 2 Councilmember, we& #39;ll reclaim more public space for the betterment of our community like repurposing the inner traffic rings of Dupont Circle as a parklet for events and markets.

. @wmata & @DCCirculator will also be key as we continue to improve transportation in DC & decrease traffic congestion. I’ll work to:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💲" title="Fettes Dollarzeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Fettes Dollarzeichen"> lower fares on & eliminate transfer fees
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚌" title="Bus" aria-label="Emoji: Bus"> expand dedicated bus lanes on congested corridors
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚇" title="U-Bahn" aria-label="Emoji: U-Bahn"> make service more convenient for riders

For years I have been on the ground fiercely fighting for change and working to improve my community for everyone. Please chip in what you can to support our campaign today: https://randyforward2.com/donate/ ">https://randyforward2.com/donate/&q...
