If you can’t read Greater Greater Washington every day, you’ll still be able to catch all our posts at a glance with Greater Greater Week in Review. Featured posts:

Take Metro in a wheelchair, just once: Do Metro executives know what the Metro is like for a person who uses a wheelchair?.

Standard voting creates strategic quandary for at-large race: I’d love to see Sekou Biddle, Patrick Mara, and Bryan Weaver all get seats on the DC Council. All three are smart and have generally good policy ideas. I’d vote for any of the three over at least half of the incumbents.

GGW debates: Is CaBi getting a good deal on Living Social?: This weekend Capital Bikeshare featured half price monthly and annual memberships on the social coupon site Living Social. By the end, more than 8,000 memberships were sold. But is this really good for CaBi?

Anthony Williams should run for president for DC rights: I want former DC Mayor Anthony Williams to run for president.

Most popular:

Mayor, Councilmembers arrested; what’s next?: Mayor Gray, Kwame Brown, Tommy Wells, Muriel Bowser, Yvette Alexander, Sekou Biddle and Michael Brown were arrested by Capitol Police along with several other activists today, protesting Congress’ abusing their power to step on DC’s rights to make its own governance decisions.

FY11 budget threatens national high-speed rail network: With Congress cutting spending left and right, one of the casualties has been President Obama’s high-speed rail initiative. The loss of $2.8 billion in funding is a major blow to the program.

Silver Spring superblocks should be broken up: Downtown Silver Spring has been championed for its revitalization and become a hub of transportation, commerce, and residential development. With every new building that goes up, the town becomes a little more walkable. Some areas, however, have yet to catch up.

Restaurants and bars enhance commercial district diversity: Does Barracks Row have too many restaurants? In November 2010, ANC6B established a Retail Mix Task Force (RMTF), which entertained, but ultimately rejected, the idea of pursuing a moratorium on liquor license applications on Barracks Row. Restaurants, it decided, complement other activities.

A liquor license reveals challenges with living on the border: Residents who live near DC’s border have Maryland residents as neighbors, but local laws often act as though nothing but desert lies beyond Western, Eastern, and Southern Avenues.
