[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell yourself what you want but slow streets unjustly benefit the few that live on the slow street. You live in the city not on a suburban cul de sac except you now want to reconfigure the city to benefit you. Entitlement at its finest. [/quote] I don’t live on a slow street but use them in my neighborhood often. When I go for a run or am out walking with my young child, I gravitate to slow street corridors because I know I’ll be able to relax a little about traffic. And slow streets are busy! Just with pedestrians, kids, cyclists, joggers, instead of cars. It’s great to have areas of the neighborhood where I live dedicated to these activities. Especially because my neighborhood (H Street NE) is a common route for commuters, which often means people who don’t live in the neighborhood will try to speed through it, putting people in danger. This is a nice effort to balance the scales.[/quote]
