How did it cause more traffic? It just made the super-wide road narrower?

Thank God they got rid of the worst of it but what a colossal waste of money. The car lanes are still narrowed but it’s better. Now there is a much narrow bike lane on one side and parking spaces on the other.

Narrowing the car lanes intentionally slows traffic and improves safety. The benefit to you is making it less likely you'll get a photo-enforcement ticket on the downhill.

I don’t care. It was awful and a large percentage of us in the surrounding neighborhood hated it. Glad they ripped out the worst of it. They should have left it alone. Total waste of our tax dollars.

No!

Why can’t you stupid MAGAs understand that bike lanes need to be widened? (not narrowed!!)

Ben Bregman must be so upset. This was his signature accomplishment.

You spelled his name wrong and he hasn’t lived in the respective ANC for many years now. He had very little, if anything, to do with these bike lanes, which were developed by DDOT as a traffic calming measure despite no request from the ANC, Ward 3 Bicycle Advocates, or any other community group.

Not that any expects velophobes such as yourself to have any relationship to basic facts.

Every single elected representative of the surrounding neighborhood disagrees with you, but please do carry on with your ridiculous claims about local sentiment as it exposes you for the clown that you are.

How many of those elected representatives ran unopposed?

Bike-lane advocates need to stop trotting out this stupid ANC argument. First off, no one cares. Secondly, claiming someone who ran unopposed or won with 100 votes has some sort of mandate is profoundly dumb. Third, ANC reps have zero actual power. It’s the student government of DC, filled by the the dorks who were hilariously overserious about student government in high school.

What do you say to those who complain about the government despite not having bothered to vote? Whatever that is, think about it long and hard.

DC law mandates that ANC resolutions must be given great weight by DC government agencies. That the heads of some DC government agencies are choosing to give greater weight to the ill-informed views of certain non-resident property developers and real estate agents should concern everyone who gives a damn about the rule of law.

I've attended a few meetings about these bike lanes. The opponents were also heavily outnumbered by those who were supportive.

Who can we contact to get more enforcement re lane switching on Canal near Arizona? I drive this several time a day and see crashes and so many near misses.

Nobody cares what ANC reps think about anything. That's not why they're elected. Their job is to call the city when the trash can on the corner need emptying.

That's how all special interest groups work. How do you think the NRA gets its way on gun issues? They show up for the legislative meetings that no one else even knew were happening.
