Washington DC Bicycling Advocates Meetup

Please join WABA for a Washington DC bicycling advocates meetup on March 3, with two special guests: At-large City Council Member Doni Crawford and Christina Whitehouse, Bike Lane Uprising founder, who’ll be visiting from Chicago. 

We’ll meet at Adams Morgan Community Center (AMCC) at the LINE DC, at 1770 Euclid Street, NW, on Tuesday, March 3 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. We’ll provide snacks and drinks, and you’ll supply the questions for Councilmember Crawford and, we hope, be inspired by Christina’s work. Our program will start around 6 pm with social time before and after. Please register so that we know you're coming.

The Council appointed Doni Crawford, previously chief of staff for former Councilmember Kenyan McDuffie, after Mr. McDuffie resigned his at-large seat on January 5. Doni is a member of the Council’s Committee on Transportation and the Environment. We’ve asked her to introduce herself and share transportation related thoughts and field questions. We’ve suggested she cover the District’s FY27 budget outlook and the council's budget oversight hearings, which should start in late March, among other topics. Councilmember Crawford will speak starting around 6:30 pm.  

Christina Whitehouse founded Bike Lane Uprising in Chicago in 2017 to make it easy for anyone to report bike lane obstructions. BLU analyzes the data to highlight problem locations and high-risk carriers (trucks). The aim is to hold repeat violators accountable and boost safety; BLU plans to expand the audit nationally. BLU has innovated in other ways such as launching a driver-certification course for companies with fleet drivers. There’s a lot we can learn and apply locally, here in the DMV.

We hope to see you on Tuesday, March 3 for WABA’s next bicycling advocates meetup! Just click here to register and let us know you plan to join us.
