We recently joined forces with Greater Greater Washington and PoPville to launch Let’s Choose D.C., a website dedicated to exploring the candidates vying for the At-Large D.C. Council seat in the April 23 special election and their stances on the issues. Every week we’ll pose a question to the candidates, post their responses and allow readers to judge whether they were on point or evasive.

The D.C. Department of Transportation has recently started putting together a comprehensive transit plan for the city. This means that everything—walking, cycling, driving, mass transit—will go into one plan, instead of each one getting its own plan that isn’t coordinated with any of the others. The debate over how to get around town is surprisingly contentious, and we wanted to know how the candidates could bring peace to the conversation:

Residents who walk and bicycle often feel our streets are not sufficiently safe for them. Others feel that projects to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians have impeded quality of life for those who must drive. Is there a way forward that can bring peace among all road users? What would you say to each of these groups?

The candidate responses are here. See the past responses on growth, schools, crime, what D.C. should look like 20 years from now, and how to spend the city’s $417 million surplus.
