Options for opposing Connecticut Avenue changes?

[Anonymous]

Studies in Cleveland Park specifically show that a very small number of customers actually drive to support these businesses.

What are those studies and the links to them?

I love how you call regular people "the bike lobby" - it is really asinine.

And oh, hey, yes, there are things called texts and social media, so when the people who support the unsafe status quo decide to go public, you bet others will see it and respond.

nd what insults and lies has "the bike lobby" propagated on the heavily moderated neighborhood email groups?

It's easy for a group to become a lobby when they receive millions of dollars in taxpayer support.

Yes, it was in Cleveland Park. In the former service lane, which is now a place people can hold demonstrations against bike lanes, which previously they wouldn't have been able to do.

The building in the background is infill development where the 4P's parking lot once lay.

Were these DDOT studies or studies by private groups?

Why are they building a new office building on Connecticut Avenue when the Intelsat building a few blocks away is completely empty?

They are renaming the service lane as the Protest Promenade.

It is a residential building not office.
