Re: ISO Ophthalmologist recommendation
Roslyn Beitler
This query came up very recently on the listserv and a couple of us recommended Dr. Schor with Eye Doctors of Washington. They have several locations, and one of them is in Chevy Chase at Friendship Heights, right above where the buses park. 301.215.7100. Roz Beitler
--------- Editor's note: This is not a repeat discussion, as the previous query was seeking a highly experienced eye surgeon for cataract removal, while the query that has prompted this round is for someone to treat a recurring eye infection.

Re: E-bikes abandoned in neighborhoods. Who to call?
hal.ninek@verizon.net
It is sad when people dump bike share bikes into Rock Creek. But it doesn't mean the program is not working to take more cars off the road, to everyone's benefit. I'm not sure about your reference to urban China and bike trash. I've been to China and haven't really noticed it to be that trashy and certainly have not seen bikes strewn about the street. Now, there was a photo circulating about a year ago where bikes were being disposed on in a landfill. Far different than bike trash strewn streets, which does not happen and is a bit offensive to Chinese people. As for someone parking a bike on the street, that is the price we pay for living in the city. Yep, every now and then a bike will be parked on your street. And then it will leave because someone will ride it away, as the program is intended. Steve Seelig - previous message - Update: it turned out one can write to support@...
You have to provide the tag number and the street address.
After a bit of back and forth they did finally come collect it. Overall they were pretty responsive.
I hope that when we see these ebikes abandoned in ravines and river beds we can get into the habit of reaching out or DC will start to look like urban China with piles of bike trash.

I was a FONZ member. You will be delighted to learn that the pandemic killed it. The Zoo's partnership with FONZ is over.

Re: Draft ANC 3C Resolution ton DDOT Study on Connecticut Avenue
Jennifer Duffy
From personal experience, I have my doubts that bike lanes will make Connecticut Avenue safer for pedestrians. In fact, I fear it will make it worse. Crossing L & M Streets (M & 22nd is especially bad) since bike lanes have been added has become hazardous. Despite claims that cyclists obey traffic laws, the reality is that many don’t and don’t seem concerned about who has the right of way. I won’t bother to recount what many cyclists have said when I’ve called them out for almost running me down when I’ve had the right of way. One post here suggested that only cars, not bikes, can kill people. That’s not an accurate statement, and ignores the reality that bikes can inflict serious injury. I don’t see where the new plans for Connecticut Avenue account for pedestrian safety. Jennifer -------- The referenced message is available here: #172557

Re: DC Water Bill Insanity - HELP - DC Water Bill Went from $260/month to $990/month
Calvin Gurley
If the required period to file a protest (30 days after the billing date) is still available, file the complaint. Take the complaint to the in-person hearing stage. In the meantime, monitor your water meter by daily recording the usage (four digit number) up to the hearing date. Review the daily meter readings for average usage and any spike(s) in usage. Present your daily monitoring report to the hearing officer, especially if your review reveals spikes in usage but knowing the minimum use of water by family members.
Calvin Gurley - original message -
Our DC Water Bill has almost quadrupled ... $260 in November to $990 in March. Nothing has changed in our house during this period. Sound familiar? DC Water wants us to pay for a plumber to come to the house and thoroughly check for water issues/leakage etc. For their mistake ... A mistake which seems to have happened many times across DC in the last few years.
Could all those who have experienced this situation PLEASE let me know how you resolved it? What did you do? How did you resolve it? How long did it take? What was the final outcome?
THANK YOU so very much!

Re: E-bikes abandoned in neighborhoods. Who to call?
shapiro@...

I hope that when we see these ebikes abandoned in ravines and river beds we can get into the habit of reaching out or DC will start to look like urban China with piles of bike trash. Judy - original message - I'm all for alternative transportation, but the ugly bright orange Jump/Lime bikes have been proliferating in my Woodley Park neighborhood and I believe the company is depositing them randomly. One just appeared in front of my house and I don't want to have to look at it for the next months. I've also noticed one of these apparently thrown over the Klingle bridge, and one at the bottom of Rock Creek below Calvert Street. I tried to find a website or phone number to get the company to come take these away but I seemed to be required to register or become a member. Has anyone had success with this? Thanks

I recently recommended M&M appliances on the listserv, and I got lots of positive feedback. I just bought a new dishwasher, and the choices are more complex than you realize. It's best to speak to an expert, and I used Clayton who helped me a lot, 202.882.7100. Roz Beitler
