I might have figured out why that is your experience.

It's striking that they have this in Paris, but not here. It makes some sense -- Paris is a far bigger city with far more metro stations and users -- but the technology appears to exist.

I believe the Cleveland Park exit just says “Zoo ➡️” with no further explanation, which makes tourists think they accidentally got off at the Woodley Park/Zoo metro stop

I’m in nova so I can speak more to that than in dc. My wife and I go out birding almost every weekend all over the area.

In DC, Theodore Roosevelt island is a great location and you’ll always run into other people birding there in the mornings. Kenilworth aquatic gardens also has a ranger led bird walk on tuesday mornings (I know it’s during the week but if you have flexible working hours could be an option, still a great location on weekends though ).

I highly recommend if you’re going to be in the area for a while to find some ways to get down to Huntley Meadows in Alexandria , VA. There are some birding groups such as the nova bird club and the Audubon society of nova that have regular field trips posted on their calendar. You don’t have to be a member to tag along with them and they definitely help new birders spot all kinds of things that are harder to spot.

My college a few years back announced they would no longer give any racially identifying information when sending out campus safety alerts.

What ward do you live in?

"I was assaulted because I didn't tip 50% when I bought this muffin at Starbucks and thus I deserved this skull fracture."

Email leaves a written track record though, whether or not answered.

That's the kind of violence interrupting we need!

Is this where being overly compassionate and empathetic becomes a complete circle. People victim blaming themselves. Mam why do you think the mugger picked you? Well I never volunteered so...I guess I can only blame myself.

I’ve been moonlighting as a vigilante. I beat the shit out of a few jaywalkers last night in Georgetown. Not to toot my own horn too much but I also post on next door about my neighbors leaving their trash cans on the sidewalk. I’m the man

>much of what they do doesn't get disseminated around.

I get this sense too as a customer. WMATA is a massive tri-jurisdiction system, and folks in administration* don't seem to have much of an idea of what workers and customers do day to day in the system.

Having a cool acronym for Better Bus Service (BBS) or Improved Lighting Initiative (ILI) or "increasing cleanliness by 85% systemwide" doesn't mean jack to customers who wait 15 minutes instead of 20 for the next bus, or see burnt out bulbs all over the system, or dirty elevators every day.

* The one exception to admin issues would be Randy Clarke and one of the Commissioners (I don't recall her name) who seem to actually be using and in the system every day.

I worked at Wal-Mart and as horrible as that company is department managers were out in the store every day if only for an early-morning walk-through. How many admins can say they are in or use the system every day?

Thank you for speaking out about thus.

Lol this is Reddit absurd statement

Omg. My daughter went to Annunciation when he was there.

Investments to make good public transportation pays off immensely.

Yeah trying to blame the people not doing the crimes for the crimes is some ish.

Tankies in here are gonna be mad about rape kits putting people away.

Gotcha.

There are a few articles from recent years about Msgr Mellone (email I linked above) trying to help victims of abuse in the archdiocese so I think you would have a pretty good chance of making more progress if you felt comfortable emailing him.
