Are you one of the selfish jerks who used to honk at every speed bump in Cleveland Park? |

Are you one of the selfish jerks who wants to make a public road their own private road? The only way to stop a selfish jerk with a road sign is a selfish jerk with a horn! |

You think that traffic calming “privatizes” roads? Sheesh. That is a driver absolutist argument that resembles the NRA absolutism that seems to inspire you.. |

They're not talking traffic calming, they're talking closing it to through traffic. And lighten up, I was being snarky. |

Biggest twit in the Palisades remains…Gordon Kit. He’s managed to hold the crown for almost 15 years now.

To give him his due, he's kept that sidewalk from being built all that time. He'll probably die with his lawn going all the way to the curb. |

The case settled then. Per the above cited article, the resident no thru agitator who caused the Streisand effect by his many breathless and poorly reasoned emails, agrees that there’s no need for sidewalks.
In fact, because no one walks there, the residents say. So no need to calm the alleged traffic. “the sidewalks were unnecessary because no one really walks there” Felled by their own hand. Keep driving, no thru is as unfair as it is unenforceable. In fact, drive more. Make CBR and UT part of your daily commute. It’s good for our city and the souls and will save you some time. |

Tell your no thru neighbors what you think of them firmly putting the CBR and UT on the commuter maps.
You enjoyed quiet, largely trafficless streets, and then they pushed it too far. Just like with the overlay which didn’t stop the “mansions” eating up any remaining charm on the UT and making CBR so much prettier by comparison, but sure did waste $$$$ on never ending lawsuits

| The funniest part being that while the CBR and UT overlay people fought the sidewalks and beehives, the streets became part of the worst flight corridor. Not likely to change and will eventually make the streets even less attractive than the mess of overlay rules and the jumble of neo-stuccoed houses on steroids |

| The treble on this: https://youtu.be/wWhtcU4-xAM makes it a perfect choice to blast through the siren array atop my ATV as I cruise University Terrace and Chain Bridge Road in the Palisades. |

Sorry, I'm all about the bass. |

Who needs bass when you can bring to your nearest “No Thru Traffic” street something that sounds like this?: https://youtu.be/MWgtVN-Xn78 |

That’s because Del. Eleanor Holmes (“I paid no DC taxes”) Norton is too busy renaming finger parks to engage with the FAA to mitigate jet noise over the District. |

I agree. They are ruining DC with these traffic calming. Putting up permanent cement middle barriers Turning streets one way. Adding bike lanes that bikers won’t use because they want to go the most efficient route for them even if it’s sidewalks going down one way the wrong way. This is not traffic calming. This is traffic road rage. Don’t we want these cars to get out of the city as fast as possible? And get DC residents home? They block intersections, blow red lights, spreed through alleys, it’s a mess. NE DC changes to roads is creating tons of back ups and now folks are looking for shorts cuts and speeding down the quieter blocks. The ANC A/B are making a mess. |
