Here's our roundup of must-read posts


After 11 years, Baltimore's Charm City Circulator has come away with some lessons. Now as Towson prepares to launch its own circulator, those lessons will come in handy.

Another area where it's easier not to start from scratch: building "missing middle" housing. Author Wyatt Gordon takes a look at strategies being used to boost these typically more affordable housing options in Virginia.

When it comes to policy, it's all about the details. A new rule change being considered by Metro's board would temporarily ban riders after sex or weapons offenses — but the policy drew lots of pushback, and a vote has been delayed until September.

Finally, this week we at GGWash have not one but two organizational updates. First, Executive Director Chelsea Allinger provides an update on where we're at and what's coming down the pipeline. Then read about our search for new potential members of our Board of Directors. Do you have the skills we're looking for?
