This week: Breaking a story about a Metrorail operator's arrest for operating a train while intoxicated.
|
In this round-up of our first posts of 2023, Stephen Repetski broke a story about a Metrorail operator's arrest for operating a train while intoxicated. We ventured into Montgomery County's "Rural Zone" to understand how it came about and how it fits into broader land use goals. And we learned about a costly "speed bump" in the effort to drop Richmond's speed limit to 20 mph.

When a bill to lower speed limits to 20 mph across the city of Richmond, Va. passed in 2022, officials stated the new limit would have to be posted on every block, with a price tag the city couldn’t afford. For now, Richmonders are stuck with higher speeds.
