Options for opposing Connecticut Avenue changes?

I don't think anyone was under any illusions about Muriel Bower's non-support of safe streets actions, including the people who decide the endorsements at GGW. Even I was well aware of it, and I'm not plugged in at all and don't even live in DC. It's highly regrettable, both because it's a huge missed opportunity for the future, and because more people will be killed. Whatever the future will be in DC, it won't be prioritizing cars and parking over transit, walking, biking, and housing. However, for endorsements, you're stuck with the candidates who are actually on the ballot, and so here we are.

Why does the narrator only care about that stretch of Connecticut Avenue? Muriel Bowser has demonstrated that safe streets are not a priority in her administration, anywhere in DC.

Maybe because it’s literally the title of this chat threat viewed 68,000+ times?

Is there evidence that there are more car accidents in DC than in prior years??

Wait. Seriously. So there have literally been no cyclists killed or hurt on Connecticut Ave? From the rhetoric I thought there had sadly been many cyclists killed

There have been many hurt. I have witnessed cyclists getting doored or hit on CT Ave over the years.

I also had people sitting at a restaurant near my house killed by a car on a sidewalk and had a family friend killed by a motorist in Cleveland Park.

Because an elderly man lost control and shouldn't have been driving.

The barriers associated with a protected bike lanes would have mitigated said old man who shouldn't have been driving.

Yes, definitely, we only should install bike infrastructure in places where cyclists have already been killed. Why make anything safer than it already is if it isn't already killing people?

Weird how no information about this has ever been made public, even though two people sitting on the sidewalk at a restaurant were killed by a driver.

I have to take my hat off to the bike mafia. I drive to downtown dc everyday. I see maybe 2-3-4 bikers a day on these lanes. And yet the driving patterns and street infrastructure has been completely transformed to make way for these unused bike lines. How was a group able to get something passed that inconveniences hundreds of thousands of people on a daily basis and conveniences so relatively few people. It’s a fundamental breakdown of our government — not political like democrats versus republicans, left v right. If this came up for a popular vote in DC, it would lose 90-10.

Please stop driving immediately and get your vision tested.
