[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whatever happened to the DC "Safe Streets" initiative to protect pedestrians on some of the side streets?  DDOT announced it to great fanfare but there was no enforcement or follow-through, and now DDOT has abandoned the program.  Meanwhile, well-run cities like Seattle are planning to continue and expand a similar program going forward.  Bowser also announced that speed limits on DC side streets were being lowered to 20 mph.  DDOT replaced a few signs, but then stopped, and cars rip through the residential streets as before.   Bowser's whole approach is "platitudes to the people," but there's little substance and even less follow through.[/quote]

The issue was that everyone hated “Safe Streets.” [/quote]

Someone just drove down the residential street where I live at probably 45 mph.  We could use those safe streets and lots and lots of speed humps.[/quote]
I like driving and also am a big fan of speed bumps on residential streets. They very effective and funny as hell when people are driving too fast and don't see them coming. [/quote]
