Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The "Barnes Dance" intersection at 7th and H St. in D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood.
The “Barnes dance,” or “pedestrian scramble” is a type of crosswalk where, when signaled, pedestrians can cross the street in any direction. You might recognize this in Washington, D.C. at the intersection of 7th and H Street in Chinatown. A new one is being installed in Columbia Heights. What do these crosswalks bring to D.C., and how do they change how we think about urban pedestrian movement?
