If you want to get more complicated then it's because the Ward 3 council member, Frumin, and lots of other powerful people live off of Wisconsin, it's already a traffic cluster, the space has been taken up by streeteries, and an absolute maelstrom of discontent was sparked by the attempt to sneak bike lanes through on Connecticut during the pandemic.

OMG here we go again with this BS.

The bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue were not snuck thru during the pandemic.

There were something like 200 public meetings and specifically because of the pandemic they were very well attended.

The ANC 3C meeting when the proposal was voted on had something like 200 attendees (most of whom supported bike lanes) which is about 4 times the number of people that usually attend a 3C meeting.

There was not a maelstrom of discontent - a bunch of entitled drivers who don't like to share (many of whom live in MD) scared the Mayor so we are stuck with a highway running down Connecticut Avenue instead of a street that serves the people who live on it.

Approximately 175 of them didn't live in that ANC. And let me stop you before you trot out "the bike lanes were supported by every ANC commissioner along the avenue." Nearly all of those ANC commissioners ran unopposed. Please stop your truly inane assertion that this equals some sort of mandate. You sound like a cretin when you do that.

A lot of the ANC commissioners were recruited by Greater Greater Washington and the Trump lobbyist who runs DC Smart Growth.

Yes, we all know Donald Trump cares a lot about multimodal transportation and urban density.

This thread is wonderful trolling. I respect the game. LOL.

The short answer is that you were trying to move to DC's version of Cambridge (Capitol Hill), but you accidentally moved to DC's version of Newton (Upper NW).

Cycling culture in DC is actually quite good, and downtown DC is much more cycling friendly than downtown Boston. But the personalities of Newtonians and Chevy Chase residents are what they are, and they bring into existence the world they, apparently, want. I guess there's no accounting for taste.

TrumpWorld is full of extreme property rights/pro-deregulation Libertarians. The overlap with “smart growth” and big development in DC isn’t surprising at all.

That may be. As far as I'm concerned, though, Donald Trump, libertarians, and real estate developers can all get stuffed. All I want is a relatively safe, relatively direct way to occasionally ride my bike from my single-family house to my office.

DP. Similarly, drivers who want to get from Chevy Chase to Dupont Circle should join the many drivers on the GW Parkway.

Well they certainly shouldn't get a brand new bespoke route for their occassional use virtually private use because they decided to buy a $2 million house in a neighborhood that doesn't have the transportation connections they want.

That's true! Everyone in DC should be able to go everywhere in DC by bike, safely and conveniently, on bicycle infrastructure in a connected network.

Exactly. We did the same thing with Rock Creek. Considering the cost of these neighborhoods it boggles my mind that some people seemingly didn't do any basic research on something they supposedly care about.
