Proper Bag Etiquette (there's a decent chance I'll get downvoted):
- Having your bag on your lap is great when you're sitting next to someone, it keeps you in your own space.
- Having a bag next to you is okay as long as you're prepared to move it so someone can sit there.
- Don't put your bag between your legs, they invade the space of the person next to you if you do.

Infrastructure is an enabler, build it better and these people won’t feel safe driving like assholes.

I live in SE, just more familiar with the NW part of Virginia Avenue.

Where on Virginia Ave. are the bike lanes at sidewalk level? Near Foggy Bottom they’re in the median, the worst place for a bike lane.

I think I’ve found a good part of the problem. In many protected bike lane projects around the world, the bike lanes are placed at sidewalk level, with the curb placed at edge of the on-street parking. DC however, places it’s bike lanes at street level, with the curb between the bike lane and the sidewalk this means that it’s nigh impossible for someone in a wheelchair to get between a vehicle and the sidewalk because the curb is in the way and cannot be reached by a wheelchair lift as it normally would. If DC were to raise its bike lanes to sidewalk level, I think most instances of this problem would be solved, and the bike lanes would be much harder to violate with illegal parking.

Is it actually possible for the 2/3/6ks to display a silver color aspect on their LED screens?

Did the Westinghouse Modulars always sound like that?
