On the campaign trail, Adrian Fenty garnered both praise and criticism for his ambitious personality. Depending on who you asked, he was either in over his head, or just the man the city needed to kick progress begun under Tony Williams into high gear. Well, like it or not, so far Mayor Fenty is living up tothe expectations. Seriously, who else would have the audacity to set 200 goals for their first 100 days? Like they said — ambitious …
Fenty’s 27-page 100 Days and Beyond, which he released last week, contains goals relating to every area of the city and its government. We were, of course, particularly glad to see “Environment and Infrastructure” as a major category in the plan, which states,
“Key to a clean environment is a well-built, well maintained and sustainable infrastructure of utilities, roadways, and transit. … We can enhance out already national-level leadership in walkability, bicycle, and transit access, by providing clean transportation alternatives to more District residents and neighborhoods.”
After the jump, we’ll take a look at a few of our favorite transit goals from Fenty’s list, and what he might have left out.
