14/ The new rules will reduce the default speed limit to 20 MPH unless another limit is posted. These rules will be in the form of an emergency and proposed rulemaking that will be published in the DC Register and would amend Chapter 22 of Title 18 of the DC Municipal Regs. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

13/ DC Slow Streets will be in place for the duration of the public health emergency. In 2019, I lowered speed limits to 15 MPH on roads adjacent to schools, playgrounds, pools, recreational facilities, athletic fields, and senior centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

12/ Drivers should only use a designated slow street if their destination is within two blocks of the slow street. Residents, emergency vehicles, deliveries and trash collection vehicles will continue to have access to Slow Streets. Streets with bus routes will not be eligible. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

11/ Additionally, DDOT will also roll out at least 20 miles of DC Slow Streets across all eight wards over the summer. Slow Streets are restricted to local traffic and the speed limit is set at 15 mph to support safe social distancing while walking, running, or cycling. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

10/ I also announced plans to permanently lower the default speed limit on local roads from 25 miles per hour (MPH) to 20 as part of our Vision Zero initiative to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries in the District. The new speed limit will go into effect on Monday, June 1. — PolitiTweet.org

7/ ABC-licensed establishments and restaurants not serving alcohol with existing sidewalk cafes and summer gardens that plan no changes to their previously approved perimeters are not required to register under the new process and may start operations immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

4/ With Streateries, Slow Streets, and a lower speed limit, we can support residents and businesses by sharing roads and sidewalks and making room for the social distancing that is critical to slowing the spread of COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ As we begin a phased reopening, or what I like to call ‘Stay-at-Home Lite,’ we are reimagining the use of public space to support restaurants, retail, and recreation. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Muriel Bowser @MayorBowser

2/ Streateries expand beyond individual parking lane uses and close one or more lanes of an entire block or more to vehicle traffic to allow for outdoor dining and table service. — PolitiTweet.org
