Did you go by the new bike lanes on the Mall and 15th/17th St. yesterday? There's no shortage of demand for bike lanes. https://twitter.com/allofthebikes/status/1506406851847634951

And if you're a driver you should like this too--fewer cyclists in the car lanes when there are good bike lanes available![/quote]

DC is putting in bike lanes on Connecticut Avenue, one in each direction.  While this may seem like an attractive idea, the rush hour carrying capacity of Conn. Ave. will be cut from 4 lanes down to 2 lanes.  DC just assumes that the traffic will just go away, or maybe MD commuters will all switch to those little Lime scooters.  More likely, Connecticut will be gridlocked several hours a day, with more traffic diverting onto Reno Rd, Porter St., etc. trying to find a way to or from downtown.  Nice.[/quote]
