In partnership with DC Central Kitchen

WABA and DC Central Kitchen are celebrating the grand opening of the brand new produce section at Stanton Supermarket.

During this walk to the celebration we’ll discuss accessibility and the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in the Anacostia neighborhood. We’ll also talk about how the built environment impacts residents decisions on how they travel through the city and complete their every day tasks like grocery shopping.

This short walk is approximately 15-minutes and begin at the Anacostia Community Museum parking lot and end at Stanton Supermarket at 1453 Howard Rd SE, Washington, DC.

More about The DC Low Stress Network

Bike lanes are most effective when they connects to other bike lanes, protected bike lanes, even more so.

WABA works with teams of grassroots volunteers across the District to demand a network of low-stress places to bike. A network where you, your kids, nephews, nieces, or grandkids, can all get where you need to go safely, easily, happily on bikes.

More about Complete Streets

Complete Streets are streets designed to accommodate all users, and that prioritize historically underinvested modes of transportation like transit, walking, and biking. An incomplete street might lack adequate sidewalks, low-stress bike infrastructure, or safe and comfortable access to transit.

Effective Complete Streets policies change the way a jurisdiction plans and builds transportation infrastructure—sidewalks, low stress bike infrastructure, and transit should be included in any new or rebuilt street by default, rather than as an add-on when there's space or demand.

While most regional jurisdictions have a Complete Streets policy of some sort, they lack teeth and permit transportation departments to continue to build streets that put cars first and squeeze other modes into the margins.

More about Outreach

WABA runs a variety of outreach programs that create opportunities for people across the region to join the bicycling community.

More about Advocacy

WABA fights for a region where biking, walking and transit are the best ways to get around.

We educate policymakers and organize grassroots advocates for to speak up for safer places to bike and walk; and for laws and policies that protect people who are walking and biking, reduce dangerous driving, and facilitate changes to the built environment.
